The Article deals with a weird legal situation in the Czech Republic. Although the Specific Health Care Services Act comes into force on 1 April 2012, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs officially represented on 29 March 2012 a different opinion. According to the ministries´ statement, almost the whole act is inapplicable and employers shall obey the old regulations. Authors of this article argue for obedience of the new law. The irrationality or inefficiency of a law approved by the Parliament is not a sufficient reason to disobey the law. In addition, there are other pressing arguments, such as serious sanctions in the case of violation of the new law and the existence of other agencies legally not bound by the statement issued by these two ministries. These agencies may come to a different conclusion in their practice
