Král, Richard ; Patěk, Daniel (advisor) ; Eichlerová, Kateřina (referee)
The subject matter of this Master's thesis is to describe and to analyze the legislation of the fiduciary duties as well as the related questions such as the business judgment rule and the request on the management decisions. The fiduciary duties represent the standard of acting which must be respected by the member of the elected body during the exercise of the managerial power. The business judgment rule, however, protects the members of the elected bodies from unjustified accusations of the violation of the standard of the acting while in the final consequence represents the protection of the authority to undertake the decisions. The request on the management decision represents an exception from the common rule, solely entrusting the management of the business into the hands of the statutory body. The main aim of this thesis is to describe and to analyze the listed legislations including the crucial questions arising from these issues together with the suggestion of the solutions. The diploma thesis consists of four chapters.

General duties of directors, in particular duty of loyalty
Mancelová, Silvia ; Štenglová, Ivanka (advisor) ; Dvořák, Tomáš (referee) ; Josková, Lucie (referee)
The dissertation is focused on research of the general duties of members of the board of directors in a capital company, in particular the duty of loyalty. Besides the duty of loyalty, members of the board of directors have a duty to act with due managerial care. The doctrine paid attention to the specification of the duty to act with due managerial care but there has, as yet, been no attention paid to the duty of loyalty. The new legislation contained in the Civil Code Act n. 89/2012 Sb. (CC) subordinates the duty of loyalty under the duty to act with due managerial care. The subject of the dissertation is research of the nature, origin, and function, of the duty of loyalty. The conclusion of the dissertation is the confirmation of the hypothesis, that the duty of loyalty by which a member of the board of directors is bound, is a fiduciary duty and an independent duty, which is not a part of the duty to act with due managerial care.

in English Duty to act with due managerial care in the course of management of a joint stock company in the Czech Republic with regard to the regulation in Great Britain. This thesis deals with duties of members of board of directors, especially with the duty of care, skill and diligence. The aim of the thesis is to analyze in detail the duty of care, skill and diligence owed by the members of board of directors to the company. Another aim of the thesis is to compare a legal framework of duty of care, skill and diligence according to the commercial code (‚obchodní zákoník') with the legal framework of duty of care, skill and diligence according to the (new) civil code (‚občanský zákoník') and to predict whether the existing cases could still be applicable in the future. The last and perhaps the most significant aim of the thesis is to compare the Czech legal framework of the duty of care, skill and diligence with the English legal framework of the above mentioned duty. The english corporate law has been developing for centuries, thanks to which the comparative part of the thesis is not only a theoretical treatise, but also a stimulative inspiration for the Czech legal system de lege ferenda.
