The Presidential Veto in the Czechoslovak and the Czech Constitutional System
Janoušek, Milan ; Hřebejk, Jiří (advisor) ; Janstová, Kateřina (referee)
This rigorous thesis deals with the institution of presidential veto in the Czechoslovak and Czech constitutional system. It follows the constitutional development of the president's right to return to Parliament acts that it has adopted and compares it to the practical usage of this power by individual Czechoslovak and Czech presidents. In a political context and based on actual cases, it highlights the issues of the existing constitutional provisions. The thesis concludes with suggestions - de constitutione ferenda - for improving the functionality of the presidential veto as part of the system of checks and balances.

The third part is an analysis of various aspects of police wiretapping pursuant to the Criminal Procedure Code. Apart from legislation, it describes the practical aspects of wiretaps handling. File leak prevention is also discussed in the chapter. The fourth, yet the most original, part of the thesis is an analysis of two cases where wiretaps were published without consent during the...
