Abstract:

The Institute of commercial representation in its current form has been incorporated into our legal order starting with the Commercial Code in 1992. In the case of commercial representation, both parties want to achieve common goals. The goal is the creation and development of a market for the goods or services offered, as well as the increase in the number of customers purchasing the products and services of the principal. The main aim of the paper is to answer the research question whether it is possible to apply the general regulation of the representation contract in the case of distribution of medicines. In addition to the main objective, we have also chosen two sub-objectives, namely to review the Slovak legislation and to point out the identified shortcomings and propose solutions. From the scientific methods of knowledge we applied the analytical method to the analysis of the legal status and regulation, the method of comparison to compare the opinions of Slovak and Czech courts. Based on scientific knowledge of valid and effective law and legal science, we have used synthesis, deduction and doctrinal interpretation in some parts of the work.
