Application issues of contractual penalty
Proněk, Martin ; Patěk, Daniel (advisor) ; Černá, Stanislava (referee)
The thesis deals with a contractual penalty as an institution of private law. Thanks to the simple application of contractual penalty, it has become a traditional way of ensuring of debts which is frequently used as an instrument for strengthening the cre- ditor's position.

The aim of this thesis is to explore the institution of contractual penalty with focusing on actual application issues which arise from its practical use.

Palan, Ondřej ; Černá, Stanislava (advisor) ; Patěk, Daniel (referee)
Contractual penalty as a means of corroboration of a debt in business relations The theme of this Masterʼs degree thesis is the contractual penalty as a means of corroboration of a debt in business relations. The author has chosen this topic because the contractual penalty is a traditional private institution, which enjoys great popularity for its function and relative simplicity of negotiation in current practice. The contractual penalty improves a creditorʼs status. It makes a borrowers fulfil their confirmed obligation since in case of its violation, they would have to provide the creditor with performance representing both generalized compensation of the damage and a penalty. In spite of a frequent use of the contractual penalty, its legislation is rather brief and does not cover all problematic aspects. The relevance of the topic increased with recodification of the private law. The main aim of the thesis is to explore legislative changes and their impact on selected problematic aspects of the contractual penalty using chosen methodology. The thesis explains whether legislative changes solve existing problems of the contractual penalty or not, what new questions in the context of the a contractual penalty arise and to what extent the conclusions of judicial decision-making practices are still...

Hořenín, Radim ; Černá, Stanislava (advisor) ; Liška, Petr (referee)

The principle of fair business transactions
Gajdíková, Markéta ; Eichlerová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Liška, Petr (referee)
- The Principle of Fair Business Transactions The submitted thesis called The Principle of Fair Business Transactions deals with assessment of impacts of private law's recodification on this principle and the issue of its application. The thesis consists of two main parts - theoretical and analytical. The theoretical part is divided into general and specific. The general theoretical part focuses on the specification of the business principle and its emplacement among other similar private law's principles such as principle of good faith and fair dealing and good manners. The aim of this part was to define divergences of each of the principles and the aftermaths of breaking these principles. It is impossible to go through the topic of the principle of fair business transactions globally, especially due to the extensiveness and variety of usage of the principle in business law relationships. Therefore, special attention has been paid to the principle of fair business transactions in the field of contractual penalty in the next theoretical part. In the analytical part, I endeavour to deal with the issue of the exercising of the right of a contractual penalty. In the first part, there is a short discourse on the contractual penalty itself, definition of an inadequate amount of the contractual penalty...

Use of commercial terms in consumer contracts
Beláková, Zuzana ; Patěk, Daniel (advisor) ; Josková, Lucie (referee)
Use of commercial terms in consumer contracts Abstract The topic of this thesis is the use of commercial terms in consumer contracts. The issue is relevant, as it falls within the scope of the protection of consumers, which is one of the most recent trends in private law. The main aim of the thesis is to analyse the legal regulation of the use of commercial terms in consumer contracts and evaluate the possibility of negotiating contractual penalties in commercial terms in consumer contracts. This thesis is divided into four chapters. First chapter concentrates on the sources of legislation, which can be divided into private and public. The constitutional foundations of consumer protection are briefly subjected to an analysis, as consumer protection does not fall only within the sub-constitutional level. Neither Constitution nor the Charter explicitly work with the term consumer protection, but it results from a conflict of autonomy of will and the principle of equality. In this chapter, attention is also paid to the development of consumer protection and the impact of European Union law on this issue. In the second chapter of this thesis, attention is paid to the analysis of basic terms such as consumer, entrepreneur or consumer contract and attention to the issues that may arise during their interpretation...
