Querella inofficiosi testamenti - fundamental basis
Macek, Dominik ; Bělovský, Petr (referee)
Querella inofficiosi testamenti - fundamental basis Abstract The topic of this thesis is Roman law of succession, specifically the presentation of fundamentals of a claim in Roman law by the name of querella inofficiosi testamenti. The introduction contains questions concerning its character, specifics, position in the system of Roman law of succession, origins and guiding principles, which the thesis aims to answer. To define the term of the claim properly, it was necessary to first outlie not only the oficium pietatis term, which was in the Roman legal theory used for regard to the closest family, but also the development of Roman law of succession from the absolute freedom of testation of the testator to their limitation by the determination of the reserved portion claim for close family. As for the interpretation of the claim itself, with regard to the fact that there is only a limited number of primary sources concerning the claim and connected issues, were those mainly used in combination with larger number of secondary, predominantly foreign Roman law literature, sources, which thoroughly study given topics. Querella inofficiosi testamenti is a claim that, if successful, can interfere with the legal certainty of existing inheritors by breaching the almost untouchable "Semel heres, semper heres"...

Analysis of the adoption of selected principles of the Roman inheritance law in Central Europe
Macek, Dominik ; Šejdl, Jan (advisor) ; Falada, David (referee)
Analysis of the adoption of selected principles of the Roman inheritance law in Central Europe Abstract The diploma thesis deals with the analysis of selected principles of Roman inheritance law and their reception in the legal systems of Central Europe, specifically in the Austrian General Civil Code of 1811 and the Czech Civil Code of 2012. It does so through the study of ancient legal sources, modern Roman law literature, modern laws and relevant commentary literature. To compare the application of Roman law principles in modern law, the principle of compulsory share and the principle of nemo pro parte testatus, pro parte intestatus decedere potest were chosen. Since the reasons of delatio hereditatis and the principles belonging to them represent one of the pillars of the theoretical structure of inheritance law, it is appropriate to stress their Roman law roots. The reason for this examination is also the fact that in many modern codifications of civil law, Roman law is highlighted as an ideal model, and it is therefore necessary to examine whether modern legislation is really influenced by Roman law and whether it is not just a pleasing proclamation by the legislator. The diploma thesis deals with the development of the mentioned principles in the Roman history and also with exceptions from these...

Legacy in law of succession
Svoboda, Martin ; Frinta, Ondřej (advisor) ; Thöndel, Alexandr (referee)
The present thesis discusses the legislation of an ancient and new-old institute of inheritance law, legacy. Legacy was in the Czech legal environment in the 60's of the last century as a traditional institute of inheritance law, allowing the testator wide opportunities of acquiring his property mortis causa. With the effectiveness of the Civil Code No. 40/1964 Coll., that released its regulation, completely disappeared from the public's legal awareness. The topic of the legacy became recurrent in connection with the recodification of private law, because adoption of Civil Code No. 89/2012 Coll. caused a return of legacy to the Czech law. The specificity of the legacy is its disruption with universal succession, which is otherwise typical for inheritance law. The main objective of the thesis is to evaluate the legacy and to conclude about the quality of the current legislation and its usefulness for legal practice. The secondary objective is to acquaint readers with the legacy and define its position in the legal environment. For the interpretation is chosen a procedure that goes from general to specific, which corresponds to the content layout of the thesis. The first part of the thesis deals with an analysis of the legacy as a whole and its differentiation from classical inheritance as well as...
