The subject of the rigorosum thesis is damages under the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (hereinafter the "CISG"). The CISG can be described as one of the most important and most widely used legislative instruments providing a unified framework for contracts for the international sale of goods.

The significance of the CISG in the business world and the purpose of the right to damages are introduced in the first part of the thesis. The CISG is fundamentally influenced by the UNIDROIT Principles1 and PECL2 , which help to interpret vague languages found in the provision and to supplement and to clarify the provisions of the to the CISG. The crucial goal of the right to damages, which is to place the aggrieved party in the same position it would have been in economically if the contract had been performed, is embodied in the principle of full compensation.

Air carriers' liability for the carriage of passengers in the light of European and Private International Law The object of this rigorosa is air carriers' liability for the carriage of passengers, which is by its nature governed mainly by international treaties and secondary law of the European Union. The rigorosa is divided into six parts, which are focused on all aspects of air carriage. The first part informs about the historical development of aviation and its contemporary importance especially with regard to its impact on environment and economical situation.

As mentioned in this rigorosa, the carrier's liability when the loss event that is expected by legislators happens is governed mainly by international treaties and secondary law of the European Union, that is why the third part is focused on its most important legal sources and its possible development. Since it is necessary to complexly inform passengers about their rights, the author decided to do so in the fourth part of this rigorosa, which deals with the...
Companies in private international law
Džoldoševa, Seda ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
This thesis attempts to summarise and analyse a legal treatment of companies in international private law. An important term used throughout the thesis is "personal statute of a legal person". Personal statute of a legal person is an institution that decides whether the organised entity has its own legal presence and which legal system governs its relations. We use two basic theories for determination of a personal statute of a legal person, the incorporation theory and the real seat theory. The incorporation theory is based on an idea that the personal statute of a legal person is a legal system the company is founded in. The real seat theory is related to the problematic idea of an actual residence, a place where the company actually conducts its business, where its management resides or where it is in fact controlled from. Since the consensus in determination of a private statute was not agreed upon, each state uses a different principle. Whilst the incorporation theory in its consequence supports the advancement of trade and is more flexible towards the companies, the real seat theory offers more legal certainties. The so called Delaware effect is considered to be a main weakness of an incorporation theory, which is a situation when the companies are based in states with favourable legislature,...
Arbitration According Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris (ICC)
Žilinčíková, Ivana ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
Arbitration as an out-of-court form of business dispute resolution is becoming increasingly popular. One of the most important institutionalized arbitration on international level, is arbitration according the Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce located in Paris. One reason for choosing this type of arbitration is in particular the international importance and the authority that the International Chamber of Commerce and its affiliated institutions, in particular the ICC Court, have in the international trade area. I consider this type of arbitration to be one of the most appropriate forms of proceeding in international business disputes, what also confirms the history of its development, the benefits it provides by its principles and the authority that the arbitrators obtain. The process of adaptability of the proceeding and the highly skilled arbitrators provide a great ground for the smooth running of the whole process. The basic principles of this type of arbitration are the autonomy of the parties will, the principle of equality of parties, non-publicity, discretion, speed and economy. That 's why the greatest pressure is placed on arbitral tribunal members who, in addition to respecting the Rules ICC, must also strongly respect the imperative regulations and public order of the...
Procedure on European Order for Payment - parallels and differences in comparison with European, Czech and German law
Ranič, Radim ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
This rigorous thesis deals with the European order for payment in terms of parallels and differences with the European, Czech and German law. On the basis of predefined criteria the work compares the European o rder for payment with the Czech payment order and the German payment order, while the relationship with other European International Private Law institutes has not escaped our attention. Due to the longer effectiveness of the European order for payment regulation we were able in this work to evaluate experience with its application and the case law. A number of identical features of payment orders have been identified in the work, such as their speed of the procedure, optionality, issue without the hearing of the opposing party and their cancellation after objections against them. Differences have also been identified, mainly in the scope of application, different use in cross-border cases, different demand on the scope of evidence in the proposal for issue, the structure of the procedure as one or a two step and different time limits for filing of objections.
Current Issues in International Insolvency Law
Plachá, Pavla ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Brodec, Jan (referee) ; Bělohlávek, Alexander (referee)
The PhD thesis "Current Issues in International Insolvency Law" aims to describe and draw attention to the moments that, in the opinion of its author, have had the strongest impact on international insolvency law so far. As such it is chiefly devoted to the analysis of existing regulation in the area of European insolvency law (which is principally based on Council Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 of 29 May 2000 on insolvency proceedings - the "Old Insolvency Regulation" - and Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings - the "New Insolvency Regulation"), and also provides a selection of the relevant case law which has over time significantly changed the way in which specific issues and instruments related to this area are viewed. To do justice to the complexity of the subject matter, the thesis also discusses the determination of jurisdiction in cross-border insolvency proceedings and recognition of the effects of foreign insolvency proceedings in relations between EU and non-EU countries. The main aim of the thesis is to answer the following questions: which legal documents have had the strongest impact on the current form of international insolvency law; whether and how the interpretation of the concept of centre of a debtor's main...
