On the duty to act and refusal of official act by a notary public
Vicko Prančić
; County court in Split, Split, Croatia
Abstract
The analysis of individual cases in which a notary public is obliged or authorized to refuse to carry out an official act shows that the institute of refusal of official act by a notary public, defined on the model of combined solutions existing in German and Austrian law, contains certain ambiguities in Croatian law, especially in the case of refusal of official act due to exemption of notary public and legal instruments of the refusal of official act which are not sufficiently defined. Therefore it would be useful de lege ferenda to elaborate the legislative definition of the institute to avoid ambiguities and doubts in its practical application.
