However, the foundations of the Czechoslovak laws in this area lays in the period of Austrian laws, especially from the second half of the 19.th century. Development of social legislation was directly conected with the existence of a legal regulation of modern municipal self-government and higher levels of self-government. Two very important acts were adopted in this respect: Act No. 18/1862 The empire's code implemented on 5th March 1862 "The Act on Municipal matters" and on 3rd December 1863 Act. No. 105/1863 The empire's code "The act about Domestic rights". For poor relief the "The Poverty act" (Act No. 59/1868 The provincial code) was enacted on 3rd December 1868.

Deciding of the Czech Social Security Administration upon benefits from pension insurance
Růžička, Roman ; Zemanová, Jana (referee) ; Štefko, Martin (referee)
This thesis deals with the application of the law on pension insurance. Thus its subject is not only the legislation itself, but this thesis is much rather devoted to the interpretation of law on pension insurance and to the limits given by the nature of the legislation, to the application practices and to the analysis of decision-making mechanism. Within the framework of this thesis the emphasis is put on the question of evidence. In this context, the work underlines the time frame of facts required to be proven and the requirement for aplication of already void legislation. Special attention is paid to the use of a special decision-making procedure which allows to forgive requiremets for meeting legal conditions in particular cases. In this thesis I formulate arguments in favor of using the methodological pluralism rather than strict clinging to a grammatical method of interpretation, arguments for prefering principle of procedural efficiency to investigative principle in some justifiable cases and for precisely expressed binding legal opinions made by courts as outcomes of judicial review. Conclusions formulated in this thesis are based on an analysis of the legislation, literature, judicial decisions (especially made by the Supreme Administrative Court), and last but not least on the basis of...
