Decisions in pre-trial proceedings
Kubeček, Jan ; Heranová, Simona (advisor) ; Dvořák, Marek (referee)
Decisions in Pre-trial Proceedings Abstract The rigorous thesis named Decisions in Pre-trial Proceedings deals with decision-making, acquiring the effects of decisions and their notification to the addressees in pre-trial proceedings. Pre-trial proceedings including shortened pre-trial proceedings is the first stage of criminal proceedings. Since we are at the time of preparations for the recodification of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the chapter on pre-trial proceedings defines the pre-trial proceedings de lege ferenda. A decision from the point of view of legal theory is a an individual legal act and a product of the decision-making activity of the state. Decisions in pre-trial proceedings are issued by authorities involved in criminal proceedings - the police authority, the public prosecutor and the court - with a reminder that in exceptional cases other entities also make decisions in pre-trial proceedings, e.g. the President of the Republic. The problematic selection of the court and the public prosecutor's office in the preliminary proceedings that have territorial jurisdiction is analyzed in the case of David Rath. The Constitutional Court orders the interpretation of legal regulations that will not allow the supervising public prosecutor to choose, in principle, any court that is located in the...

Sequential sampling beyond decisions? A normative model of decision confidence
Rehák, Rastislav
We study informational dissociations between decisions and decision confidence. We explore the consequences of a dual-system model: the decision system and confidence system have distinct goals, but share access to a source of noisy and costly information about a decision-relevant variable. The decision system aims to maximize utility while the confidence system monitors the decision system and aims to provide good feedback about the correctness of the decision. In line with existing experimental evidence showing the importance of post-decisional information in confidence formation, we allow the confidence system to accumulate information after the decision. We aim to base the post-decisional stage (used in descriptive models of confidence) in the optimal learning theory. However, we find that it is not always optimal to engage in the second stage, even for a given individual in a given decision environment. In particular, there is scope for post-decisional information acquisition only for relatively fast decisions. Hence, a strict distinction between one-stage and two-stage theories of decision confidence may be misleading because both may manifest themselves under one underlying mechanism in a non-trivial manner.

Decision, Unlawful Interference and Failure to Act under the Code of Administrative Justice and Types of Administrative Actions
Peroutka, Jan ; Vedral, Josef (advisor) ; Adamec, Martin (referee)
Decision, Unlawful Interference and Failure to Act under the Code of Administrative Justice and Types of Administrative Actions SUMMARY This thesis deals with the concepts of decision, failure to act and unlawful interference by which administrative authorities may unlawfully interfere in subjective public rights; and with types of legal actions that may be used to resists these acts and/or delays by administrative authorities, as well as the relationships between those and the possible choice. According to lawmakers, the introduction of different types of actions was intended to ensure that nobody was deprived of the right of access to court. This undoubtedly increased individual procedural guarantees; however, there still might have been cases where a lawsuit was dismissed solely on procedural grounds - i.e., choosing the incorrect type of action, as courts applied the doctrine of strict inadmissibility. The Supreme Administrative Court has reacted to this and, together with the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic, overcame this doctrine. The primary objective of this thesis is to analyse how the current case law regarding the choice of action type is applied, whether it actually leads to the intended goal in all cases and whether there might be room for an overall review of the administrative...

Trojan Destinies (τυγχάνω and τεύχω in the oldest Greek epos)
Roreitner, Robert ; Fischerová, Sylva (advisor) ; Chlup, Radek (referee)
The aim of this study is to introduce the idea of fate present in Homer's Iliad. By "idea" is meant what gives the unity to apparently incoherent views (1) of fate as death and life's content; (2) of fate as a given lot and a power; (3) of fate as what is shaped by men, and what meets them. This triple polarity of meaning is explored on two levels: (a) the level of construction of the epic (how the fates are represented in the poem) and (b) the level of the Homeric expressions for fate (how the characters and the narrator talk about it). Both subjects have been treated many times and from various perspectives in the existing secondary literature. That's why this study does in neither case aim at an exhausting analysis. As for the construction of the epic, it focuses on the role played in its structure by decision, and especially on how the various decisions of different characters are integrated into the unity of narration. Among the expressions that are standardly envisaged it treats in some detail only the two most important, i.e. μοῖρα and αἶσα, although at the same time it considers also two verbs, τεύχω and τυγχάνω , to which the due attention has not yet been paid. Exploiting the results of formal-literary studies of the last decades this study returns back to a question formulated in the...

The position of the Supreme Court in the American political system and the significance of its decision-making for the political procedure in the USA.
Zástěra, Martin ; Pithart, Petr (advisor) ; Kysela, Jan (referee)
The thesis "Role of the U.S. Supreme Court in American system of government and the importance of Court's decisions for the political process in the United States of America" deals with the institutional role U.S. Supreme Court has in American system of government and puts emphasis on Court's decisions and their practical consequences on the politics in the United States. In history of the country the Court was an influential decision-making body on many occasions. Although shortly after the federation was established many intended to put the Court in position where weak powers given to it would not enable the institution to fully play its role of the guardian that keeps an eye on the constitutionality of adopted laws, at the beginning of the 19th century the Court found its place and became exactly what it was originally intended to be. Decision in Marbury v. Madison gained the Court the crucial power of judicial review. The power of judicial review completely changed the role of the institution that finally became the guardian of the Constitution. This thesis outlines the institutional position of the judicial branch and especially the position of the Supreme Court in American system of government. It also focuses on the political aspects of the nomination process of Supreme Court Justices and...
