Peňásová, Kristýna ; Vybíral, Roman (advisor) ; Karfíková, Marie (referee)
The insurable interest in Czech and French law Abstract My diploma thesis deals with the concept of insurable interest in Czech and French law. Since insurable interest has been newly included as one of the conditions of validity of an insurance contract by Act 89/2012 Coll., Civil Code, this concept has become the subject of many academic debates, articles and books. However, insurable interest is also a concept that appears not only in private law but can also be found in public law. The insurable interest is not only one of the conditions for the formation and existence of an insurance contract between the insurer and the policyholder, but also expresses the relationship between the insurer and the insured things or persons. The comparison with French law does not only compare the concept of insurable interest, but also the individual insurance sectors and the individual sectoral rules related to this concept, as well as the specific types of insurance. The thesis is therefore not limited to private law provisions, but also deals with fleet insurance, its types and the relationship of insurable interest to each type of fleet insurance, as well as the regulation of insurance distribution and reinsurance, the relationship of insurable interest to this regulation and the implications of EU harmonisation in...

Žulavská, Lucie ; Karfíková, Marie (advisor) ; Vybíral, Roman (referee)
Harmonisation of Motor Third Party Liability Insurance in compliance with EC Law Motor Third Party Liability Insurance is recently facing major changes, not only from EC point of view, but from national perspective as well, mainly due to technological development as well as due to the enormous pressure set on vehicles accident victims protection, ie. their appropriate compensation from Motor Third Part Liability (further known as MTPL) cover. Main consequence of above mentioned fact is a clear definition of the vehicle that falls under the obligation of MTPL. However just the simple extension of the vehicle definition that way, that even escooters and sagways fall under the scope, would not be considered as a sufficient measure taken to sort of eliminate the number of severe claims and bodily injuries caused by these vehicles in most of the EC states. It is more than necessary that every single member state will come with substantial measures on national level to sort of regulate on legal basis the traffic rules of these new kind of vehicles. However, it is currently obvious that member states opinions are far from any common decision on this topic concerning measures to decrease the number of claims and furthermore to restrict the use of these vehicles in respective environment. There is another...

Němečková, Leona ; Boháč, Radim (advisor) ; Karfíková, Marie (referee)
In my thesis I deal with examination of administrative demands of the tax system in the Czech Republic, causes thereof and possibilities of solution. For the reason of the thesis extent I examined only direct taxes although indirect taxes show the great potential to reach savings in administrative demands as well and general conclusions may be applied to them. The thesis is divided into four chapters. In chapter I. I define the term of administrative demands as a cause of inefficiency of tax collection system. I look for the causes in principles of the constitutional system of the Czech Republic and tax system, i.e. in its individual tax laws. For comparison I examine the issue also in other countries of the European Union and in Russia to get to know, how effectively tax systems in other states work. In chapter II. I analyze particular parameters of the tax system, such as registration procedures, filing of tax returns concerning individual taxes, additional payments of taxes and tax advance payments, communication with authorities, process of tax recovery, making controls. In chapter III. I propose solution arising from analysis made in previous chapters, which should decrease the administrative demands by various methods. My aim is to keep the same volume of collected taxes. In final chapter IV....
