Public commercial law is a branch of law regulating the influence of the state and its bodies on eco-nomic and commercial processes. It is traditionally considered to be a component of a broader, more complex discipline - commercial law. Currently we can observe with an increasing frequency that private law regulations are being applied by the legislator, also within the framework of the regulations traditionally considered as a part of public commercial law. However, this practice may cause certain difficulties and setbacks, also in relation to the internal axiological consistency of the discussed law discipline.
