Horáček, Petr ; Winterová, Alena (advisor) ; Sedláček, Miroslav (referee)
a klíčová slova v anglickém jazyce Title of rigorous thesis: Appellate review in civil procedure Abstract The rigorosum thesis focuses on the extraordinary remedy of "appellate review" (in Czech: dovolání), as stipulated in Act No. 99/1963 Coll., the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended. The remedy is extraordinary in the sense that it allows to contest a final and enforceable court decision. The thesis is divided into seven chapters. The first two chapters focus on the general principles of civil procedure, appellate systems, types of remedies and the history of the concept of appellate review. The second chapter also includes a passage presenting the planned recodification of civil procedure based on the substantive intent of the Civil Procedure Rules drafted in 2017. The third chapter is the core of the thesis and contains, in particular, the conditions for admissibility of appellate review and the requisites of an application for appellate review. The chapter describes who can lodge an application for appellate review, and specifies the place and deadline for filing the application. Two autonomous requisites are essential for an appellate review and the relevant proceedings: (a) definition of the conditions for admissibility of appellate review; and (b) specification of the grounds for appellate...

Extraordinary appeal in Common Plea
Černá, Karolína ; Winterová, Alena (advisor) ; Dvořák, Bohumil (referee)
Extraordinary appeal in common plea represents one of extraordinary remedies which should be the last possibility of judicial review of decisions issued by lower court instance provided by the general court even though such decisions are legitimate. In connection with previous it is necessary that regularization is set in such manner that the interference with the legal relations is insignificant in comparison with interest for review and reach of justice. Within the extraordinary appeal the Supreme Court fulfils its two fundamental functions, i.e. ensuring of individual rights and also consolidation of judgements and completion of law. It is this balance of two functions which have resulted in issuance of quite a lot of amendments to Civil Procedure Code related to the extraordinary appeal in past, thus it is possible to state that the actually valid legal regulation (in its basic outlines) has been de facto same as of the effectiveness of Act no. 404/2012 Coll. Most of amendments were connected with admissibility of the extraordinary appeal which sets the principles for fulfilment of the Supreme Court functions. Determination of admissibility qualification together with determination of reason for extraordinary appeal mean some of essentials of extraordinary appeal which cause difficulties to...

Factual findings and legal assessment
Janoušek, Jiří ; Winterová, Alena (advisor) ; Dvořák, Bohumil (referee)
FACT-FINDING AND LEGAL ASSESSMENT Abstract According to the difficulty of the subject and key question being discussed in this study, it is not the aim of this work to come up with one perfect solution of distinguishing between factual and legal question during an application of law in civil procedure. The theme of this study implies that the main goal is to get as close to actual explanation of any potential solution as possible, using predominantly an analytical method of legal research, and to approach this subject also from less traditional points of view. This work is focused on one of fundamental problems of procedural law which also has deeper theoretical basics. It starts with a typical scheme of an application of law where the factual question (consisted of perceiving and evidence) and legal question (where the iura novit curia principle is applied). After finishing the fact-finding process, these findings are subsumpted under a general legal norm. A subsumption itself is the centre of the problematics of incorrect legal assessment. The study also includes a different view on this classical model of application of law. A precise distinguishing between factual and legal questions in civil procedure has a big influence on several areas of civil procedure, while the most important part is the only...

The Position of Review Appeal in the System of Remedies
Ambrož, Vojtěch ; Dvořák, Bohumil (advisor) ; Holčapek, Tomáš (referee)
The Position of Review Appeal in the System of Remedies Abstract What is the purpose of the review appeal in civil matters? Should the review appeal be of an ordinary or extraordinary nature? Should the admissibility requirements of the review appeal be determined entirely objectively, or should it depend, at least in part, on the subjective discretion of the appellate court? This is only a part of numerous questions that have accompanied the institute of review appeal for several historical stages and, due to the planned overall re- codification of the civil procedure law, these issues remain relevant even today. The author of this work aims to provide an answer to some of these questions based on a critical view of the historical development of the review appeal, current legislation concerning this matter and the review appeal from de lege ferenda perspective. In the first chapter, the author generally discusses remedies in civil proceedings, their nature, effects, and definition of the review appeal. The greatest attention is paid to the purposes of the review appeal, which include finding individual justice and unifying the decision-making practice of the civil courts. In the second chapter, the author focuses in detail on the historical development of the institute of review appeal. Its important...

Extraordinary Appeal
Střesková, Markéta ; Šámal, Pavel (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
1 Extraordinary appeal Abstract In my master's thesis I deal with one of the extraordinary remedial measures in criminal proceedings. The extraordinary appeal, along with the complaint against the violation of the law and the retrial, is a formalized extraordinary remedial measure. It can be used only to contest decisions of the court in the second instance if decided on its merits and permitted by law. It was introduced into the Czech legal system particularly to grant equal rights to both parties, when the accused himself may file an extraordinary appeal in the Supreme Court through his defence counsel. The aim of the thesis is to provide the reader with a comprehensive analysis of individual provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure dealing with the extraordinary appeal in relation to case law of the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic and professional literature, focusing on problematic aspects of the extraordinary appeal in criminal proceedings. The thesis is based mainly on professional literature and case law and uses descriptively-analytical and comparative writing method. The thesis consists of introduction and ten chapters, which are further divided into subchapters and conclusion. The first chapter deals with the concept of the extraordinary appeal, it is an...

Marada, Radim ; Pelc, Vladimír (referee)
The thesis is devoted to the issues associated with an extraordinary appeal in criminal proceedings. An extraordinary appeal is an extraordinary remedial measure by which final decision of the court may be contested if the court decided in the second instance and the law permits it. The chapter seventeen of the Rules of Criminal Procedure consists of 18 sections which represent the main source of law to this extraordinary remedial measure. The thesis focuses on their analysis while taking the literature and case law into account. Therefore, the paper aims to point out the problematic aspects of corresponding sections and case law that determine the conditions by which an extraordinary appeal may be lodged and processed. Naturally, the paper also seeks to convey the ideas of solving the particular problems in which its readers have been introduced in the thesis. Brief comparsion to the rest of the remedial measures contained in the Rules of Criminal Procedure is also presented. The thesis consists of the introduction, nine individual chapters and the conclusion.

Application for an appeal rewiev in civil procedure
Jaroš, Adam ; Kubešová, Silvia (advisor) ; Frintová, Dita (referee)
The Application for an appeal review in civil court proceedings is an exceptional remedy, which may brought against final decisions of the Court of appeal. Through the application for an appeal review the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic not only corrects the defects of legal decisions of courts of appeal, but at the same time it keeps an eye on the unification of the decision-making practice of the courts of appeal. The legal regulation of the application for an appeal review is contained in particular in the Code of civil procedure, as amended, and its minor styling techniques can be found also in the Act on the special legal proceedings, and in the Act on courts and judges. Due to quite complicated legislation and high procedural demands that are placed on the application for an appeal review, is this extraordinary legal remedy a frequent subject of the decisions of the Supreme and the Constitutional Court, whose conclusions are in many decisions fundamentally distinguishing. These contradictions in such conclusions often makes legal regulation of an application for an appeal review even less transparent. The Code of civil procedure lays down the fundamental prerequisites to the admissibility of the application for an appeal review and its requirements. In the preparation of the application...

Application for an appeal review on the points of law in civil procedure
Hrbek, Tomáš ; Winterová, Alena (advisor) ; Smolík, Petr (referee)
This thesis focuses on the effective regulation of the application for an appeal review reflecting it from the point of its value background, historical development and the relevant case-law. With an intention to point out the necessary backing for the critical assessment of specific elements and the present form of the application for an appeal review in a civil procedure as a whole, the thesis deals with the theoretical basis of the legal remedies in the civil procedure and with the role of the application for an appeal review in their effective regulation. In the thesis, particular attention is paid to the purposes of the application for an appeal review, i.e. to the unification of the case-law and the protection of the rights of an individual in a particular case, as far as to their relation to the legal certainty resulting from the final decisions, which the use of the application for an appeal review undermines. The thesis contains the general conclusions on the relationship between these values and the conclusions on the appropriateness of the regulation of the particular elements of the application for an appeal review, which are connected with these values. A special chapter of this thesis deals with the history of the appeals focusing only on that facts and legal constructs, which are...

Application for an appeal review on the point of law in civil procedure
Hermanová, Michaela ; Winterová, Alena (advisor) ; Smolík, Petr (referee)
The thesis aims to describe the new regulation of the application for appeal review introduced by means of an amendment to the Civil Procedure Code made by the act No. 404/2012 Sb. and to assess its compliance with the Constitution. During the preparation of this amendment a part of the Civil Procedure Code (specifically sec. 237 (1) c)) governing the admissibility of the discretionary application for appeal review was cancelled due to being in conflict with the Constitution by means of the decision of the Constitutional Court of 21 February 2012, file No. Pl. ÚS 29/11. For that purpose, at first, the thesis deals with the application for appeal review itself and certain aspects of it, especially the role it has in the Czech legal system. Based on this general part a special part is built dealing with the admissibility of the application for appeal review. Firstly, the admissibility under the old legislation is described, after that the conclusions of the Constitutional Court are critically examined and, finally, the new legislation is described and confronted with the findings of the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court criticized the old legislation for not being sufficiently predictable. It concluded that in order for the new legislation to comply with the Constitution the potential...
