Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the right of passengers, granted to them by the Transport Law Act and the Maritime Code, to withdraw from the carriage contract without giving a reason, as well as their right provided only in the Transport Law Act, to one-sidedly modify the carriage contract. The author presents the essence and the scope of these rights, pointing out that they are applicable also in relation to those carriage contracts, which are subject to EU rules concerning the protection of passenger rights as well as the CIV convention. The author formulates also certain de lege Ferenda proposals in relation to some doubts concerning the interpretation of the provisions which confer the discussed rights.
