Summary/Abstract: A notary, as a person who performs activities that play a huge role in legal transactions and produce extremely significant effects, is obliged to act in accordance with the law and behave with dignity – both in private and public life. The notary is responsible for the breach of these rules. As a rule, the following types of liability are mentioned: civil, criminal, disciplinary, and tax. Based on Art. 19a of the Law on Notaries, a notary public is subject to compulsory third-party liability insurance for damages caused while performing notarial activities. There are doubts about the nature of the civil liability of a notary and its scope. This article aims to provide a clear answer on this matter.
