Delictual liability of legal entities and individuals undertaking business within environmental protection
Timková, Lucia ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Sobotka, Michal (referee)
This rigorous thesis deals with delictual lialibility of individuals undertaking business and legal entities within environmental protection. Under delictual liability we mean certain secondary liability to suffer the consequences of one's actions which arises in case of a violation of certain primary liability, usually set by a legal norm. Within the protection of environment, we encounter the term ecological-legal liability. Delictual liability can be specified as liability within administrative and criminal law, accompanied by environmental liability. There is no unified amendment for the first one within environmental protection and particular actus reus of regulatory offence can be therefore found in particular component laws. Administrative delicts of legal entities and individuals undertaking business then form an independent part of law and they are punished more severly than deliquencies of individuals. As far as criminal liability is concerned, its amendement is incorporated into the criminal code. Also, the criminal liability law for legal entities came into effect in 2012. The thesis also comprises the comparison with the Slovak legislation.
