abstract
The article deals with the transformation of the ownership structure in Czechoslovakia during the post-war period and particularly after the adoption of the Ninth-of-May Constitution in 1948. It also details the process of drafting and adopting the new Civil Code in 1950. The article tracks changes in the traditional understanding of the right of ownership that were incorporated into the legal system based on the Soviet legal model introduced by the codification.
