Defragmentation of (Private) Law Through the Proportionality Test. A Review Essay on Ondřejek’s Monograph ‘Defragmentation of Law: Reconstruction of Contemporary Law as a System’

Original language description

National legal systems are facing fragmentation, a process that significantly challenges the legal certainty and coherence of law. In this context, my essay reviews Pavel Ondřejek&apos;s new book ‘Defragmentation of Law: Reconstruction of Contemporary Law as a System’, which examines methods to reduce fragmentation while achieving law’s unity. After an introduction of the monograph, I critically examine Ondřejek’s claim that the proportionality test used in constitutional law enhances the unity of the legal system. While I agree with the claim, I find it too weak in its scope. Therefore, I present three arguments to support my thesis that the proportionality test, traditionally confined to constitutional law, should be extended to private law to address legal fragmentation more effectively. This extension would enhance the coherence and consistency of private law, reaching the broader goals of normative coherentism as presented in Ondřejek’s monograph.
