Mikulíková, Lucie ; Dvořák, Jan (advisor) ; Havel, Bohumil (referee) ; Šmejkal, Václav (referee)
V ANGLICKÉM JAZYCE Private-law consequences of a breach of competition law and their enforcement in the Czech Republic The private-law consequences of a breach of competition law, Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU and Sections 3 and 11 of the Czech Competition Act, may affect many entities, irrespective of whether they are competitors or consumers. Recently, emphasis has been placed on private enforcement of competition law that is intended to serve as an important complement to public law enforcement. The first part of the dissertation defines basic concepts and principles of competition law including "public rules on restriction of competition". The history of the enforcement of competition law in the Czech Republic and the dynamic development in this area at the EU level are outlined in the second part. The third crucial part of this work deals with the right to damages caused by a breach of competition law in the Czech Republic. In 2014, the EU adopted Directive 2014/104 on certain rules in damages actions with the view, inter alia, to increase the effectiveness of private enforcement of competition rules by civil courts of EU Member States. On August 18, 2017, new Act No. 262/2017 Coll. which implements the Directive into Czech law was adopted. The dissertation...

Pokorná, Lucie ; Šustek, Petr (advisor) ; Elischer, David (referee)
Prerequisites for the obligation to compensate for personal injury from the provision of health services This rigorous thesis is aimed on prerequisites which must be fulfilled in order to qualify for the compensation for the personal injury, taking into account the specifics that are related to the provision of health services. In case of dispute is the most difficult to prove infringement of the doctor and the causation between the infringement and subsequent damage. For this reason, together with the personal injury part, this is the core of this thesis. In this thesis, I first focus on civil liability in general and build on the issue of civil liability with regard to the provision of health services. There is also a chapter dedicated to health services and directly embedding this area in the legislation. The other parts are divided according to the individual assumptions of the obligation to compensate for personal injury, namely the infringement, the personal injury, the causation and the culpability. In each section, I try to bring the assumption on a general level and consequently with regard to the specifics that are associated with the provision of health services. The third part deals with the first assumption, it is an infringement. In connection with the provision of health services, I...

Liability for damage caused by a defective product - comparison of Czech and British legal regulation with a focus on British case law
Černá, Tereza ; Frinta, Ondřej (advisor) ; Thöndel, Alexandr (referee)
This thesis deals with the topic of liability for damage caused by a defect in a product, i.e. liability of a producer (but also of another entity, such as the supplier or importer) for damage caused by the defective product to the health or property of the user (consumer) or other third persons. The primary area of this issue that the thesis has examined is the legal regulation in the UK (liability for damage caused by a defect in a product is in the UK usually expressed as "Product liability"). The main reason why I have chosen to describe the British legal regulation is my study experience in the UK at Northumbria University, where I studied within the program Erasmus+. In the UK, I had the opportunity to find all the resources, experience and incentives necessary in order to analyze the topic of Product liability and therefore, to write this thesis. The aim of this thesis is not only the description of the British Product liability, but also its comparison with the Czech regulation. This thesis then draws a clear conclusion that Product liability in the UK is as compared to the Czech Republic an institute much more frequently used and British regulation is compared to the Czech one more sophisticated and detailed. On the other hand, for the British consumers the British regulation may be, due...

Skalová, Monika ; Salač, Josef (advisor) ; Šustek, Petr (referee)
Civil Liability for Bodily Injury in Medical Disputes The aim of this thesis is to map and analyze civil liability for bodily injury caused to a patient while providing health care. This topic is specific and current, especially considering the fact that the new Civil Code came into effect on 1. 1. 2014. Where required, there is comparison between the current and previous legislation. This thesis also offers a glimpse into the German legal system and features institutes similar to ones in the Czech legal system as well as institutes the Czech legal system does not offer. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter describes domestic legislation with elements of medicine. This includes sources of law that have the form of law, professional rules and case law. The second chapter deals with civil liability in the health sector and its individual cases that lie in the objective liability of the health care provider. At the same time, contractual and and tort liability is pointed out. The third chapter discusses the elements of civil liability and further maps out and takes into account its individual attributes, that are necessary to form civil liability. The third chapter also further examines non-lege artis procedures that result in said bodily injury. This chapter marginally looks...

Smrž, Ivo ; Salač, Josef (advisor) ; Šustek, Petr (referee) ; Sovová, Olga (referee)
Obligation to compensate for personal injury in connection with provision of health care This dissertation is focused on the obligation to compensate for personal injury in connection with the provision of health care. The aim of the dissertation is to analyse relevant general elements of the obligation to compensate for personal injury as well as relevant special elements of such obligation. The dissertation surveys the interpretation of conceptual changes related to the recodification of Czech private law in the area of tort law in connection with the provision of health care. Legal basis of the doctor-patient relationship will also be analysed because such analysis is crucial for determination which elements of the obligation to compensate for personal injury will regularly be applied in this field. Therefore, the first chapter is devoted to the legal nature of the doctor-patient relationship. The second chapter deals with the obligation to compensate for personal injury caused by the provision of health care, i.e. with the definition and analysis of relevant elements of such obligation in this field. The third chapter is focused on the wrongfulness as one of the significant elements of the obligation to compensate for personal injury; substantial attention of this chapter is aimed at the...

Civil Liability in the Case of Disrespecting a Patient's Advance Directives
Mayerová, Vendula ; Holčapek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Salač, Josef (referee)
Civil Liability in the Case of Disrespecting a Patient's Advance Directives The aim of this thesis is to analyse and describe the problematic of Civil Liability in the specific case of disrespecting a patient's advance directives by a medical. The institute of Advance Directives was first introduced in the Czech law by the Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine in 2001 and later by the Law No. 372/2011 Coll., Act on Health Care Provision. Thought the Advance Directives cannot be considered as a new institute in the Czech law, it is hardly ever used in practice. There is no judicature and practical knowledge on the topic of civil liability in this case, and the insecurity causes that doctors do not feel like willing to respect the exceptionally occurring advance directives, because they fear the criminal liability they think that could arise if they did not provide the health care necessary for saving life of their patient. This thesis is trying to highline the importance of a patient's will. Meanwhile, it is pointing to the fact that even saving a patient's life can cause legal liability of a doctor. The thesis is primarily analysing and describing such liability within the general provisions on liability in the Czech Law and is also trying to give an insight to the problematic of potential...

Necessity and self-defence in civil law
Raffajová, Zuzana ; Elischer, David (advisor) ; Dvořák, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with necessity and self-defence in the light of the large recodification of private law in the Czech Republic. Together with other legal concepts they are referred to as the circumstances excluding unlawfulness. Their specificity lies in their exclusion of the obligation to compensate suffered damage provided that the conditions laid down by the law are met. This issue has always been a matter of interest to both laical and professional public as these important legal concepts form one of the most fundamental pillars of the liability system. The aim of the thesis is to point out their importance for the present codification by a comprehensive analysis of relevant legislation, conclusions of theory and case law. They have been subjected to extensive analysis as well as their Roman law roots. The key part is the comparison between Czech and German law that exceed the terms of private law. Due to their apparent connection the issue of criminal law was also included. In addition, this thesis deals with the institute of self-help in terms of its relationship with necessity and self-defence. Self-help was a typical means of protection in archaic societies but today's advanced society delegated the function of legal protection to the state by establishing independent and...

Saxlová, Jaroslava ; Šustek, Petr (advisor) ; Hendrychová, Michaela (referee)
- Compensation for damage to health: a comparison of Czech and German legislation This diploma Thesis deals with the theme of compensation for damage to health in Czech and German legislation, which was one of the inspirations during the creation of the Czech Civil Code. The aim of this study is to explore the issue of civil compensation for damage to health (and in the case of death) with an emphasis on medical-legal relations arising from the provision of health care, in both these legal systems. This study is divided into three parts. In the first is examined the legislation of Czech Republic, in the second the German one. The third section briefly summarizes the differences and the congruent aspects of both legislations, supplemented by suggestions for possible changes and improvements of the Czech law de lege ferenda. The area of compensation for damage to health is strictly bond with the civil liability, therefore the study deals with this issue as well. Within the Czech law, both of these areas have undergone a fundamental change with the entry into force of the new Civil Code on January 1, 2014. By the civil liability the unified conception of tort was left and now contractual and tort liability is distinguished, also the whole conception of civil liability tends to active and not penalty...
