ASPI (Automatizovaný Systém Právních Informací) is Wolters Kluwer’s flagship Czech legal database. On the market for around 30 years, it’s among the longest-running Czech legal-information systems and one of the “big three” alongside Beck-online and Codexis.

Name the effective date, ”§ 2079 OZ as of 1 January 2024”, and ASPI returns the time-versioned Sbírka text, with komentář on that version.

What it covers

Practice areas covered well: civil, commercial, criminal, labour, tax, public/administrative, insolvency, public procurement, family, IP, social security.

Subscription tiers

Wolters Kluwer sells ASPI in three tiers. ASPI Standard is the foundation; ASPI Profesionál is positioned at law firms and corporate legal departments and carries a three-year update guarantee on newly published Wolters Kluwer commentaries; ASPI Expert goes deepest on content. Libra searches whatever your firm’s tier includes and nothing beyond it. The tier is not what lets Libra connect to ASPI in the first place — that is a separate permission Wolters Kluwer sets on your account, described under Setup below.

What you can ask

  • “Find the consolidated time-version of § 2079 občanského zákoníku as of a given date and the leading Supreme Court judgments interpreting it.”
  • “What is the current commentary view on liability for damages under § 2910 OZ?”
  • “What does Czech case law say about restrictive covenants in employment contracts?”
  • “Find commentary on recent changes to Czech competition law.”

Setup

Connect via Settings → Integrations using your firm’s ASPI credentials — the connector is listed as ASPI, Czech legal research. Once it is connected, the source appears in the chat Research picker as ASPI (CZ), and you switch it on per question like any other source — see Research mode. The flow is the same for every source — see Setting up integrations.
An ASPI subscription on its own is not enough. Wolters Kluwer also has to enable Libra access on the ASPI account, and Libra reads that permission out of the sign-in token. Without it, sign-in completes but the connection stops on a CONTENT ACCESS REQUIREMENT screen — “You’re signed in — but we can’t find active content to use in Libra” — offering Get a subscription, Contact support and Back to Libra. If you hit that with ASPI credentials that otherwise work, ask your firm administrator to have Wolters Kluwer switch Libra access on for the account. Moving to a higher ASPI tier does not do it by itself.

Combining with other sources

Tips

”§ 2079 OZ” / ”§ 420 občanského zákoníku”: Czech lawyers cite by paragraph, and ASPI is structured around them.
For matters where you need the law as it stood at a specific date, name the date; ASPI’s time-versioning surfaces the right text.
Pair ASPI with European Union Case Law for any topic involving harmonised EU regulation.
