Jurnečka, Filip ; Salač, Josef (advisor) ; Šustek, Petr (referee)
Civil liability in healthcare Abstract The topic of this master thesis is civil liability in healthcare. The aim of the author of this master thesis was to provide an analysis of the existing legislation, while also discussing individual aspects of legal liability, lex artis and as well as the individual actus reus of the duty to provide compensation for damage. The first chapter of the thesis deals with the hierarchical division of relevant legal sources with a focus on the regulation concerning the term lex artis. In the area of international law, the Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine is discussed, which can be considered as a basis for national regulation, namely the Health Services Act. In conclusion, a brief explanation of the Code of Ethics issued by the Czech Medical Chamber is provided. In the second chapter, the concept of civil liability and its influence on civil liability is explained first and then the author of this master thesis discusses the individual conceptual theories of civil liability. It specifically concerns civil liability as a threat of sanction, sanction conceptual theory, other concepts of legal liability and a current view on this issue. It is followed by individual conditions of liability and its functions. The third chapter deals with the terminological analysis of...

Prerequisites for the obligation to compensate for personal injury from the provision of health services
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...

Zykánová, Lenka ; Salač, Josef (advisor) ; Šustek, Petr (referee)
1 Civil-law liability arises upon the provision of health services Abstract This diploma thesis aims to analyze in detail the civil-law liability arising out of the provision of health services; special focus is drawn to non-pecuniary damage to health and life of the patient and non-pecuniary damage of the close persons during the provision of health services by the breach of duties of the doctor, including ways and extent of compensation sustained harm. The thesis explains the current legal framework within which civil-law liability for the provision of health sevices is assessed, with individual references to the previous legal acts (i.e. the 1964 Civil Code and the Decree on compensation of non-pecuniary damage). The changes and weaknesses of the current legal framework are pointed out. The thesis comprises of an introduction, five main chapters and a conclusion. First and second chapters delimitate the issue at hand, introduce elementary terms important for the field [of civil-law liability for the provision of health services], and sources of law and shed light onto the relationship between the two key legal acts governing the provision of health services, that being the Civil Code and the Act on Provision of Helath Services. The substance of human life and health as two individual personal rights is...

Harm to the natural rights of an individual
Svoboda, Marek ; Křesťanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Frinta, Ondřej (referee)
Resume Findings collected in this rigorosum thesis confirm that functional and sensitive settings of the universal system of private law, which provides the legal protection of values connected naturally with human being against unlawful attacks, is an essential task for every civilized legal environment because the natural values connected with a human are really important. The text suggests that the conception of this legal protective system consisting of three cohesive components, namely the conception of an object of legal protection, civil liability, a list of protective rights), is shaped by findings, which have their origin in legal theory, written laws and case law. At the beginning of this rigorosum thesis I concentrate my attention on the first component of the legal protective system. Due to the elastic range of legal protection exclusively focused on human being as an individual, and as a person of law in the legal sense, it is allowed to try to achieve protection of all natural values of human being, that in the summary create the most personal, the innermost and the most intimate sphere of human being1 . This type of particular values has either a biological or psychological or sociological character. The substantive definition of the interest which is protected by law, cannot be complete. In...

Obligation to compensate for personal injury in connection with provision of health care
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...
