Current issues of cross-border insolvency proceedings
Střížová, Veronika ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Rozehnal, Aleš (referee) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
The aim of this PhD thesis is to analyse the current status of European insolvency law and with the help of both national and European judicial decisions put together an overview of practical obstacles that insolvency courts, debtors, creditors and insolvency trustees across Europe are facing when dealing with cross-border insolvencies. At the very core of this topic stands the European Insolvency Regulation ("EIR") which was adopted in 2015 and is effective within the member states as of June 2017. Since this regulation was put together as a recast of its predecessor, i.e. the original insolvency regulation adopted in 2000 and effective as of 2002, naturally this research is oriented at comparing the two legislative acts and mainly assessing whether or not the recast EIR managed to overcome some of the inconsistencies in the wording of the original EIR, often resulting in conflicting interpretations and a great deal of preliminary rulings filed with the Court of Justice of the EU. Apart from looking into good old instruments of private international law such as the scope, the jurisdiction, the choice of law and the recognition and enforcement rules governed by the EIR, this thesis also focuses on topics that are very bankruptcy-specific and dissimilar to anything we know from other fields of law....

Iura novit curia in international arbitration
Halfar, František ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Rozehnal, Aleš (referee) ; Feigerlová, Monika (referee)
Iura novit curia in international arbitration Abstract The thesis deals with the application of the iura novit curia principle in international arbitration. At the outset, it explains the function of the principle in the civil law tradition of court procedure and the potential issues arising out of its application in arbitration, in particular with regards to the limits of arbitral power and due process. Since the rules on conduct of arbitral proceedings provide no specific guidance in this respect, the ultimate limits of the use of the principle in arbitration are set by the national courts in proceedings on annulment and recognition of arbitral awards. The thesis attempts to delineate these limits on the case law of a few chosen countries and observe the potential similarities with their civil procedure. Despite the differences in the legal traditions in the respective countries, the analysis of the case law finds a number of common features in the approaches to the application of the iura novit curia principle in international arbitration across the chosen countries. When assessing the powers of the arbitrator to apply the law as he deems appropriate, the courts seem to share similar concerns about the observation of the parties right to be heard. Despite its somewhatʼ firmer standing in investment...

Protection of a Weaker Contract Party and Private International Law
Skalská, Helena ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Rozehnal, Aleš (referee) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
Protection of a Weaker Contract Party and Private International Law The topic of this dissertation thesis is the protection of weaker parties in the context of determination and application of the applicable law. The dissertation seeks anchor and concept of protection of weaker parties in the Rome I Regulation. The thesis is divided into three main parts. The first part deals with the basis for protection of weaker parties, linking the theoretical and value foundations on which the protection stands with practical implications that ignorance of significantly unequal position might have. For a comprehensive understanding, it is necessary to look at the background of individual legal rules. However, dealing with these issues cannot be viewed solely in the context of private international law. Certain legal institutions of private international law may not be designated solely for the protection of certain categories of weaker parties but may be used to protect a weaker party with regard to the concept of a weaker party and the importance of its protection in substantive law (especially civil law). The second part, which is the focal point of this thesis, consists in the analysis of ways of protecting the weaker parties, both at a more general methodological level and in the form of a more detailed...
