Courts of the restaurant, which stood on the site without permission, began on Wednesday at Old Town Square v Prague dismantled by the staff of the Technical Communications Administration.
The company KVP Gastro, which operates the gardens, got the end of the city’s lease in June 2022. In addition, it does not have the appropriate coverage from Prague 1. And it owes millions the fine.
“Three years ago, Prague ended the contract with the city, but KVP Gastro resisted. This spring, Prague won all the courts, so the contracts were definitively invalid,” said opposition representative Kristýna Drápalová (Praha Sobě).
KVP Gastro had to pay a fine of 10,000 crowns per day for front gardens, the total number now reaches about eight million. Drápalová will ask businesses to pay this amount before applying for new contracts.
How long does the structure disappear?
The main problem in the front gardens of KVP Gastro were the screens firmly attached to the ground. “They are really a building where the company does not have permission,” said Drápalová. Tables and parasols are an acceptable option, which take up less space than large structures.
