Coll.
Act No. 22/1997 Coll.
It is a Czech legal document - what does this "Call" after the number stands for? Is this a part of the number or something like Official Journal?
I am translating from English into Polish an agreement between a Polish and Czech company, governed by the Czech law and they refer to this Act.
I will appreciate explanation of the meaning or encoding of the abbreviation in English.

Sb.
This means "Collection of Laws" - in Czech: "Sbírka zákonů".
If you translate into Polish, you should use the Czech abbreviation "Sb."
It is also possible to use the Polish abbreviation, if there is one, but do not leave the English "Coll." there.
I would recommend to use the Czech one

The reason to use the Czech abbreviation - if you want to look up the Act, you enter \"22/1997 Sb.\" in Google, and the first link takes to the full wording of the Act. Works for virtually all Czech laws :-)

Comment: "Thanks for your explanation. I guess it should not be translated into English in the first place - at least our European Integration Office recommends to leave official journals of Member States in original. I appreciate explanation not just translation - my understanding of Czech is - you know, like of all Poles.:-) "

: I've always found translating this little useless "Sb." into English outright silly...
