Pilzová, Lenka ; Macková, Alena (advisor) ; Pohl, Tomáš (referee)
I chose the topic of this thesis in connection with constantly increasing number of court's execution done on basis of Code of Civil Procedure with execution done by executors on the basis of Code of Execution and plenty of related theoretical and practical problems. The thesis focuses on the sale of real estate because it is one of the most serious intervention to the debtor's property.

Consumer Contracts Focusing on Sales Contract - Comparison of Old and New Legislation
Opletalová, Kristýna ; Pohl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Macková, Alena (referee)
Consumer Contracts Focusing on Sales Contract - Comparison of Old and New Legislation Consumer contracts as contracts concluded with consumer who is the weaker party make integral part of our everyday life. Although we usually consider consumer protection an area of contractual law, it is a category with an overlap into commercial, european, criminal and administrative law. Consumer law which is strongly affected by EU legislation stands on the border between private and public law. Practical aspects of consumer law, however, do not in any way exclude its main purpose - seeking justice, i.e. balancing equality on one side and freedom on the other side. This branch of law is even more topical nowadays as we are exposed to advertising anywhere. Moreover we are experiencing financial crisis at the moment when most of people are suffering from lack of money which sharply contrasts with insufficient financial knowledge of Czech population. Legislation changes slowly and does not correspond to the development of society. Reality is then quite different to the way we know it from textbooks. The New Civil Code that brings many changes not only in consumer law was adopted in 2012. It provoked numberless discussions both between lawyers and public. The importance of the code was overshadowed by media...

The issue of insolvency petition
Krumlová, Vendula ; Pohl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Macková, Alena (referee)
Eligible insolvency petition is the only way how to initiate insolvency proceedings and therefore to achieve the highest and usually proportional satisfaction of creditors claims of the debtor. The quality of administered insolvency petitions according to actual statistics may not match the requirements set out by the Insolvency Act and the decision-making practice of the courts. Because of this fact, my goal was mainly to point out the repetitive mistakes, which are made by insolvency petitors in administation, to define the particulars of such petitions, and to provide the instruction how to give the eligible petition for consideration. My diploma thesis is divided into five chapters, where there is a gradual refinement of the requirements for insolvency petition. The first part includes basic definition of decline and impending bankruptcy when these institutions are a precondition for the commencement of insolvency proceedings and insolvency petitioner in its proposal must say that the debtor is insolvent, or that it may threaten him. The second chapter defines the decision of insolvency petition to be sure how the insolvency court may respond to such petitions, there is also a defined responsibility of insolvency petitioner for submission of undiscussed petition. The third chapter refers to...

Insolvency of Group of Companies
Svoboda, Filip ; Pohl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Macková, Alena (referee)
The paper focuses on insolvency of groups of companies. The analysis starts with description of the main feature of the group of companies, i.e. corporation. It points out situations when legal and property autonomy is suppressed by quasi-piercing or liability of the management for influencing of the corporation or wrongful trading. It further analyses the concept of group of companies as en economics term and corporate group and concern as a legal term. It puts into juxtaposition entity and enterprise approach towards group of companies and points out that the enterprise approach is often used by public law systems, such as competition law, which happens as a result of lack of legal tools to reflect the economic reality. After economic analysis of insolvency and tools insolvency law has to offer the paper focuses on the main topic of the paper. It is pointed out that a concern law is only a system of liabilities for damage and as such cannot be easily linked to insolvency procedure, the exception being for example protesting against transactions carried out by the debtor in the past, which comes at greatly cost for legal uncertainty. It is also highly problematic that upon initiation of insolvency proceeding a positive going concern value is automatically lost. It is further pointed out that the system of...

Declaratory principle in contentious and non-contentious proceedings
Mika, Karel ; Pohl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Macková, Alena (referee)
The topic of this diploma thesis is the declaratory principle in contentious and non- contentious proceedings. The aim of this thesis is to describe how the declaratory principle is applied in both forms of Czech civil proceedings, contentious and non-contentious. There are some differences between application of the declaratory principle in a contentious proceedings and application of this principle in a non-contentious proceedings. Parties are much more free to dispose of their claims in contentious proceedings, because the declaratory principle is one of the main principles of this form of civil proceedings. It is necessary to say that legal system in the Czech Republic is the continental legal system and the declaratory principle is traditional for continental legal system. The declaratory principle also means that the court is limited in its decision making. It is not possible to decide more than it has been asked to. The major part of this thesis is about disposition acts. How it was mentioned before, parties are free to dispose their claims in contentious proceedings and the reason for it is that they are able to use many disposition acts. Each of these procedural acts is defined in its own subchapter of this work and there are also mentioned related judgements. Other parts of this diploma thesis are...

Civil procedure in continental law and the Anglo-American legal system
Dufková, Michaela ; Macková, Alena (advisor) ; Pohl, Tomáš (referee)
The purpose of this thesis named 'Civil procedure in continental law and the Anglo- American legal system' is to provide an overview of the regulation of civil procedure in both mentioned systems, to compare them, highlight the most significant differences between them, and give the information about their convergence on international, mainly European level. The reason for the choice of this topic was my interest in the field of Civil Procedure, but also my belief in the benefit of comparisons of various legal orders in favour of improving them. Because of the on-going process of introducing uniform arrangements of some institutes of civil procedure on the European level, it is undoubtedly useful to compare national legislations in some respective countries. The research is based on study of legislation in Czech Republic and Germany as representatives of the continental system and in particular England and Wales as representatives of the Anglo-Saxon system. A shorter chapter is also devoted to U.S. law. There are aims of the thesis, methods of research and brief structure described in the introduction. The second chapter deals with the explanation of basics concepts necessary for proper understanding of the research. The third chapter is devoted to brief sketch of the history of civil procedure in...

Possibilities of applying arbitration in the CR (legal and comparative analysis)
Anzenbacher, Vilém ; Pohl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Macková, Alena (referee)
The aim of my thesis is to analyse the limits of arbitrability of labour disputes in Czech Republic and to describe Austrian labour-arbitration law. Subsequently I would like to focus on possible solutions of problems linked with arbitrability of labour disputes in Czech Republic. The reason for this study is my interest in both Czech and international arbitration. There is only a few papers which deals with arbitrability of labour disputes in Czech Republic although it is in my opinion very interesting and controversial topic. In connection with changes, introduced by the new Civil Code on 1st of January 2014, the Czech civil law is much more similar to the German and Austrian civil law than it was before. Due to this fact I focus on Austrian arbitration act, which could be important source of knowledge for amendments to Czech arbitration act. The thesis is composed of eight main chapters. The first chapter discusses arbitration in general. The second and third chapter describes alternative dispute resolutions and some other types of out-of-court settlements of both collective and individual labour disputes in Czech Republic. Chapter four explains arbitration and alternative resolution of labour disputes under German and Austrian acts. Chapter five provides an outline of relevant Czech case law. This...
