Pěničková, Tereza ; Koldinská, Kristina (advisor) ; Munková, Gabriela (referee)
Legal status of persons using assistance of dogs with special training Abstract The thesis deals with the legal status of persons using assistance of dogs with special training. The Czech legal system still lacks a definition of a dog with special training and its various types. The requirements for training, skills and marking of specially trained dogs are not regulated by Czech law at all. Despite the financial and time demands of special training, currently only an allowance is provided for the purchase of special equipment in the form of a guide dog. The legal regulation of the access rights of persons accompanied by a specially trained dog is fragmented into regulations of different legal force, the regulation of some areas is completely absent. In practice, the means of defense in case of unjustified denial of access to a person accompanied by a dog with special training encounter significant limits. The aim of the thesis is to give an overview of the current legal regulation of major aspects of the legal status of persons using assistance of dogs with special training. On this basis, the author proposes changes that can contribute to their full integration into society on an equal basis with others. The work is divided into four parts. In the first part, the author focuses on the concept of a person...

Fantová, Karolína ; Koldinská, Kristina (advisor) ; Munková, Gabriela (referee)
Harmonisation of work and family life - the perspective of Czech and European law Harmonising work and family life is a very topical issue today. Employees no longer want to choose between work and care; they want the possibility to do both. The legal framework responds to this need - it creates conditions that support this harmonisation. This has a positive impact on productivity and employee satisfaction. Moreover, balancing work and family life positively influences societal factors, such as demographic stability and sustainable economic growth, making it a politically intriguing topic as well. The thesis offers a comprehensive view of the work and family life harmonisation in the context of the current legislation in the Czech Republic and within the European Union, focusing especially on caregivers. The main goal of the thesis is to provide readers with a comprehensive overview of current legislation concerning the harmonisation of work and family life, particularly focusing on flexible forms of employment, obstacles at work from the employee's side, and financial security in situations where the employee cannot work due to caring for another person. The thesis further examines European law standards and their impact on domestic legislation, noting also the non-legislative initiatives of the...
