Popis: This paper constitutes an attempt at the analysis of provisions of the Civil Code regarding suicide in an insurance contract. The aim of the paper is to analyse the economic aspect of a suicidal death. Regardless of this analysis, a few aspects related to death by suicide in the insurance industry have been indicated. In this paper, the author also analysed the German legal system conception. Therefore, the method of examining applicable laws and the legal- comparative methods have been used herein. The main conclusion drawn up on the grounds of the conducted research is that strict legal regulations are not compatible with suicide as a complex psychological and social process.
