This master's degree thesis deals with keeping records of administrative delicts in the Czech Republic. It mainly focuses on the central register of offenses which is new, yet unknown institute. Its implementation was recently approved by Parliament. Even though the law is not yet effective, it has attracted considerable media interest since it aims to deal with minor offenses relapsing. The reason for my research is to examine these new possibilites. The purpose of my thesis is to summarize the existing situation in the field and to analyze various aspects of the new central register. The thesis is composed of seven chapters. The preface introduces the topic, the structure and the main goals of this thesis. The second chapter is theoretical.

First instance hearing of administrative delicts
Nováková, Hana ; Prášková, Helena (advisor) ; Kryska, David (referee)
The subject matter of this thesis is the first instance hearing of administrative delicts, where the main focus is on the legal status of the accused. Since the adjudgement on guilt of the accused is the fundamental objective of the administrative infraction proceedings, it is not conceivable that such proceedings would be conducted in his/her absence. The accused is the essential subject whose rights and obligations are mandatorily adjudicated. Part 3 of the Act No. 200/1990 Coll., on Transgressions, is the main source of legal regulation of administrative infraction proceedings, while the Act No. 500/2004 Coll., Administrative Procedure Code, shall be used subsidiarily. These laws represent the basic legal framework for a proper conduction of administrative infraction proceedings. However it is also necessary to apply a wide range of legal principles arising out of the constitutional law and the international law. The European Convention on Human Rights plays a pivotal role since it guarantees the right to a fair trial, together with the presumption of innocence and the right of self-defense, as two integral parts of the right to a fair trial. This thesis analyses the individual procedural rights of the accused in detail, along with their classification into appropriate stages of the...

Proceedings for administrative delicts of legal entities
Hyldebrant, Pavel ; Prášková, Helena (advisor) ; Millerová, Ivana (referee)
A heated debate was going on during the past few years among Czech lawyers concerning punishment of legal entities. It culminated as the law on criminal liability of legal entities and proceedings against them was passed. However, this has not solved all the problems of legal regulation of delicts committed by legal entities. The question of reform of administrative punishment remains relevant, although not urgent. The current legislation suffers certain defects, in particular its incompleteness, which has to be addressed in legal practice by using laws whose primary field of application lies elsewhere; those laws do not address all peculiarities of administrative punishment of legal entities. While the main discussion is centered on substantive law, proceedings for administrative delicts of legal entities deserve attention as well. My thesis is divided into four parts. The first part briefly outlines the historical development of the proceedings for administrative delicts of legal entities. The second part provides a brief overview of the current state of legislation, focusing on the sources of law. The third part deals with general principles of law relevant for proceedings for administrative delicts of legal entities, especially the right to a fair trial, as described in the Convention for the Protection...

Remonstrance Proceedings
Adamec, Martin ; Prášková, Helena (advisor) ; Svoboda, Petr (referee)
- Remonstrance Proceedings The thesis is focused on the remonstrance and the following special administrative proceedings. The remosntrance represents an ordinary appeal, which can be used to challenge the first instance decision that has not already become enforceable and has been issued by the central administrative office, by the minister or by the director of other central administrative office eventually by the state secretary. Whereas there is no existence of the superior administrative authoritites in the organizational structure of the state administration, the same body that issued challenged decision decides on it. It is obvious, that appeal procedure contains a lot of variances and peculiarities, which the thesis points out, compared to the appeal procedure. The remostrance is limited to one paragraph and its five sections by the valid and effective legislation of the Administrative Code. The more this relatively brief provision often remains unkonwn to the general public, the more attention it attracts among the experts. The thesis aims to give a comprehensive explanation of the remonstrance and its proceedings and subsequent evaluation of the effectiveness of the applicable legislation and to suggest own creative solution of the examined subject. Further, this thesis aims to answer the...

The primary aim of this dissertation thesis is to present a comprehensive analysis of the issue of personal data protection in the Czech Republic with regard to the regulation in the EU. The secondary goal of this work is to explore the historical genesis and material sources of the issue in question. The core information sources from which the thesis draws represent laws, judicial decisions, official documents and Czech/foreign expert literature. In order to achieve the objectives of the work, the methods that are generally applicable in the field of legal science were used. Therefore the method of description (including classification), analysis and synthesis is mostly applied. The dissertation consists of seven chapters. After a short introduction, it begins with a sociological treatise on the importance of the protection of personal data in the 21st century. Privacy is currently an important topic in the light of the rapid development of information and communication technologies which have been developing since the second half of the 20th century and burgeoned since the turn of the century. Technological innovations allow for the collection of personal data on a large scale. These privacy infringements can prove to be irreversible, hence the importance of this area of law.

These principles must be applied per analogiam within the proceedings on administrative offence due to their absence in the Administrative Code. In the third...

Administrative Punishment of Corporates
Hejtmánek, Ladislav ; Prášková, Helena (advisor) ; Průcha, Petr (referee) ; Kopecký, Martin (referee)
- English This paper is focused on new legal institute, starting to grow and practised relatively very late, during the period of the socialist regime. Such institute is new, but nowadays has grown to substantial dimensions which is connected not only with the practical point of view, but also with the development of the society and economics. Very similar development can be observed also in other law cultures; the administrative penalty has everywhere the rising intensity, also in Anglo-American law, both in law in books, as well as in law in action. Our law order has the traditional classification of such institute to Administrative Law, not Criminal Law. Such classification has its advantages, but also disadvantages - as advantage it is very easy to apply the law in books, relatively free procedural law, effectiveness and speed of the punishment. As disadvantage it is the absence of guaranty of fundamental righst of defendant (offender), unsufficient observation of the facts of liability, a quantity of specific law rules organized by every ministry, and moreover very poor catalogue of administrative punishment. With the respect of such deficiency of this part of Administrative Punishment this paper is prepared with the traditional point of view of the Criminal Law concentrated on the particular...

Topic of my diploma thesis is The Administrative punishment of legal persons. Lability of legal entities is considered to be very actual and controversial at the present time not only in the Czech republic, in connection with criminal law refom, but in the whole Europe. The solution of problematic question of effective sentencing legal persons and detering them from other illegal activities, has been a frequent issue of political profesional a nonspecialists discussion during the last ten years. This thesis describes czech system of public liability of legal entities, which is suffering from numerous imperfections. In the first chapter I define and specify administrative punishment and its basic principles, focusing on principle of humanity, principle of legality in its four forms (nulla crimen sine lege stricta, scripta, certa, praevia) and principle of subsidiarity of criminal repression. The following chapter is focused on administrative liability of legal person.

The consequences of this conduct may often be huge and very difficult to restore. In this chapter I define legal entity, using civil and...
