Private enforcement of competition law
Bocková, Claudia ; Černá, Stanislava (advisor) ; Zahradníčková, Marie (referee)
The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the state of private enforcement of competition law in the European Union and the Czech Republic by taking into consideration the proposals set forth in the Green and White Paper on damages actions for breach of EC antitrust rules issued by the European Commission which were inspired by the U.S. system of private enforcement of antitrust law. Further on, the possible impact of the implementation of such proposals into Czech law will be assessed and experience of Member states will be considered. The dynamic development of this area of law and the never ending political and legal debate on the possibilities of private enforcement in Europe was the reason for why I have chosen to write my thesis on this topic. The thesis is composed of eight chapters, each of them dealing with different aspects of private enforcement of competition law. Chapter One is introductory and is divided into three parts. Part one tackles the difference between public and private enforcement. Part two deals with the evolution of the concept of damages claims and introduces the most relevant decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The third part identifies the problems occurring with damages claims. Chapter Two examines the question of applicable law. Chapter Three...

This thesis deals with the legal regulation of corporate group relations, especially compensation of harm resulting from a lawful act, compensation of economic loss and damages. These institutes are very often connected to other branches of law, which are above all insolvency law and financial law.

These other branches of law and other areas of company law are not corresponding to the topic of this thesis, so they will not be analyzed in this thesis. For more information about the above mentioned I refer to professional literature and journal articles.
