From filing to decision

The case number of a decision carries the year in which the case was registered with the court. The gap is the difference, in calendar years, between that year and the year of the decision: a case registered in December and decided in January has a gap of one year. It is not a duration in months.

In 2025, of the 691 published decisions of the court with a known filing year, 72% were issued in the calendar year in which the case was registered, 20% in the following year and 8% two or more years later. For all Czech courts together the shares are 70%, 26% and 4%.

Understanding these figures

What a district court does

A district court (okresní soud) is the court of first instance for most civil disputes: claims for payment, loans and credit, leases, damages, divorce and maintenance. Its decisions can usually be appealed to the regional court for its area. In Prague the district courts are the obvodní soudy, and the Brno Municipal Court (Městský soud v Brně) is the district court of Brno.
