Zastupitelství

Zastupitelství is a Czech term that translates to representation or agency. In a legal context, it refers to the act of acting on behalf of another person or entity. This can involve various forms of authority, such as a power of attorney, where one person grants another the right to make decisions or perform actions on their behalf.

In a business context, zastupitelství can refer to a commercial agency or dealership. A foreign company might establish a zastupitelství in the Czech Republic to conduct business activities, market its products, or provide services. This entity acts as a representative of the parent company, operating under its authority. The specific rights and obligations of a zastupitelství are typically defined by the agreement between the foreign company and its Czech representative, as well as by Czech commercial law.

The term can also be used more broadly to describe any situation where one party acts in place of another. For example, in a political context, elected officials could be seen as zastupitelé, representing the interests of their constituents. The core concept of zastupitelství is always about authorized action on behalf of another.
