Current Czech private law generally does not sufficiently distinguish the so-called status norms from other possible grounds for invalidity of autonomous regulation of commercial companies. In the article, the authors attempt to prove, also using German doctrine, that the content of the group of status issues is limited and linked to the numerus clausus principle, which as a category in the Civil Code is different from public order. At the same time, the article points out that it is always necessary to examine the specific circumstances of the case, especially if public order is to be applied, and tries to describe a possible general interpretive methodology.
