The New Lex Mercatoria
Vítek, Michal ; Dobiáš, Petr (advisor) ; Pauknerová, Monika (referee)
NLM Abstract The topic of lex mercatoria does not represent any new nor revolutionary concept for the legal science, on the contrary it is a concept present in the european legal thinking since the middle ages. Despite of that it still remains without a clear and comprehensible theoretical framework thus in a stage of some sort of a legal hypothesis. This rigorous thesis describes in its five chapters the topic of lex mercatoria - specifically its up to date form: New Lex Mercatoria - not as a concept but as an applicable law and within the extent of this thesis attempts to come up with both the reasons for such perspective as well as with those which oppose it. For this reason it answers the following basic questions: Does a clear concept of the New Lex Mercatoria exist? Does such law have the historical continuity? Does such law have any clear distinctivness when compared to the legal orders of national states? Which norms create such legal order and who and under which conditions does enforce them?

Arbitration proceedings as a means of dispute resolution in international law with regard to the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards
Petr, David ; Balaš, Vladimír (advisor) ; Macková, Alena (referee)
Arbitration proceedings as a means of dispute resolution in international law with regard to the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards Resumé Arbitration as a method of settlement of disputes settlement has enjoyed growing popularity in recent several years. Arbitration stands between other alternative means of dispute settlement and the common court trial as a alternative dispute resolution. Although negotiation, good offices, mediation, conciliation, inquiry, mini-trial, medarb or meadaloa are often used forms of the dispute settlement their awards cannot be enforced by the state authority. Those means are popular mainly in the business field where the parties are interested in the cooperation and where they aim to clear up some misunderstanding or technical problems rather than solve major disputes between them. While the dispute should be solved by the binding way the parties would choose the arbitration as a legally framed procedure. Arbitral awards are then able to be enforced and the parties also have more exact boundaries for the whole procedure. However, there is no unified definition of the arbitration, it could be described as a legal technique where the parties bring claim before one or more neutral persons (arbiters or arbitral tribunal) by whose award the parties agree to be...
