Czech Supreme Court confirms that a new warranty period does not start in case of warranty replacements
Unlike the “old” Civil Code, the “new” Civil Code does not stipulate that in B2C relations a new warranty period is granted if a defective item is replaced by a new product within a warranty period. Legal doctrine interprets that the rule from the “old” Civil Code is not applicable in the new regime, and that a new warranty period is not provided in case of replacement of a defective product within the 24-month warranty period. The seller is only obliged to ensure that a consumer can use a defect-free product for 24 months.
