The Constitutional Court intervened in the church's dispute over South Bohemian ponds. The Beneš decrees are at stake.

The District Court in České Budějovice must revisit the dispute over ponds in South Bohemia after the Constitutional Court upheld a complaint from the Roman Catholic parish of Český Krumlov. The land in question, previously owned by the church, was transferred to Rybářství Třeboň during the privatization of a state fishing enterprise. The parish seeks to establish that the land still belongs to the state to claim restitution. The court will examine when and under what circumstances the state confiscated the land, particularly whether this occurred before or after February 1948. The Constitutional Court's recent ruling indicates that previous conclusions about the state's ownership based on a 1945 decree were flawed, requiring the state or Rybářství Třeboň to provide evidence of prior confiscation.
