The article concerns the definition of civil status in private and public law. The first part discusses the doctrinal achievements from the period before the entry into force of the Civil Status Acts Law of 2014. In the second part, the legal definition contained in Article 2 of this law and some of its interpretations are discussed. The author critically analyzes this definition, pointing out its shortcomings and the lack of practical benefits resulting from its introduction. This argumentation leads to the thesis about the practical and scientific utility of the definition formulated in the previous legal system, capturing the concept of civil status within the so-called „narrow concept” referring to the category of a person’s „family status.”
