Payment terms, payment ethics and resolution of commercial disputes
The Constitution of Côte d’Ivoire establishes the country as a republic that operates a unitary system of government, with a legislature, an executive and an independent judiciary. The legal system is based on the tradition of the Civil Code. The judicial system consists of three parts: the Constitutional Court, which has exclusive jurisdiction over constitutional issues, including the interpretation of the Constitution and the resolution of presidential election disputes, the Civil Courts, which deal with areas such as criminal matters, labor and employment disputes, family law and land disputes, Commercial Courts – The Commercial Court was established in 2012 to deal with commercial cases and was updated the following year to become the Commercial Chamber of the Court of Appeal. The local court system suffers from a number of shortcomings, the enforcement of rights is not only very lengthy (cases are sometimes moved from court to court for decades), expensive and open-ended. Most of the judges are associates. even financially influenceable, most cases in which a foreign investor is involved end up against his interests. Courts usually do not even respect the judgments of foreign tribunals). In relation to Czech companies, we have not yet recorded a case of a commercial dispute that would have to be resolved by a third party (court, local arbitration court). In any case, it is recommended to include a provision in the contract on the basis of which any arbitration would take place outside the country or border. business arbitration, to give preference to out-of-court proceedings when resolving disputes. local arbitration by the court).

Employment of citizens from the Czech Republic
The recruitment of foreign nationals must be justified by the unavailability of the required skills at the local level. Foreigners are entitled to two or three times the salary. However, the minimum wage does not apply to them. The employment contract of a foreign national must be signed by the Agence d’Etudes et de Promotion de l’Emploi (AGEPE).
