Summary/Abstract: The text deals wíth problems of the relation between a parish council (vestry) and municipal council in self-governing matters of municipality. The article is also concerned with a question - if one of those municipal bodies is in similar position as a statutory bodyof cooperation according to civil rules. The next upholds a standpoint, that - according to The Constitution of Czech Republic - a minicipal vestry is rightful to rule in all spheres of self-governing units. The municipal council can rukle as far as statute or decree of the vestry does not reserve the decision to the vestry. As regards the issue of statutory body, the article claims that a municipality is a corporation of of public law and that is why is not possible to a priori apply provisions of civil code. So, the municipality does not have a statutory organ in that sense how it is comprehended in private law for corporations. This statutory body is not even a mayor with the right to represent the municipality, because the representation according to the public law is different from the civil one.
