Law/Patents - Law (general)
Czech term or phrase: kolizní právo
.... je ve věci dána pravomoc českého soudu, neboť žalobkyně je státním příslušníkem České republiky, ...
je *kolizním právem* české právo.

Does this simply mean the "applicable law"?

Explanation:
"Každý právní řád má předpisy, které rozhraničují působnost vlastního právního řádu a cizích právních řádů a které určují podle jakého práva jest posuzovat mezinárodní občanskoprávní a rodinné poměry."

The original text is not correct it should read as follows: dle kolisních norem je rozhodným české právo/český právní řád ...

"Conflict of laws or private international law (both terms are used interchangeably)[1] concerns relations across different legal jurisdictions between persons, and sometimes also companies, corporations and other legal entities."

Kolizní právo means law that that will decide who has jurisdiction (which country) in case it is unclear, or there are conflicting considerations.

AFAIK in a family case it would be zákon o mezinárodním právu soukromém 91/2012 Sb.

NORMALLY: kolizní ustanovení = conflict-of-law provisions

agree  Jiri Lonsky: Wouldn't "conflict of law" be in the singular in this phrase?

agree  Anton Konashenok: Yes, that's what must have been implied.
