Monistic organisational structure of a Czech joint-stock company after recodification of private law. This thesis deals with the monistic organisational structure in Czech legal system. The possibility of choosing the one-tier system was given to the Czech joint-stock companies thanks to recodification of private law, under which, effective as at 1. 1. 2014, was adopted The Business Corporation Act. However, implementation of this obligatory option was not without difficulties.

Such a conception, based on links on the dualistic system, creates many interpretation difficulties.

Flowingly, I characterize the Czech one-tier system, and then I analyse the organs that are in monistic organisational structure constituted. Special attention was requested by the board of directors and statutory directors. The largest...
