Majchrák, Tadeáš ; Macková, Alena (advisor) ; Frintová, Dita (referee)
Remedies in civil procedure under Czech and Slovak legal order - comparative view Abstract The aim of the rigorous thesis is to analyze and then compare the individual remedies of the finding procedure as the basic type of civil (judicial) process in the legal regulations of two separate states, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic, with particular emphasis on the differences of both orders and their same or similar features stemming from a shared legal, historical, cultural and social past, as well as from mutual inspiration and shared value attitudes. In the first part, dealing with general theoretical background and concepts, emphasis is placed on describing the civil process in both countries, especially in terms of its division into founding and executing procedures. The stage of the finding procedure is the remedy whereby the appeals court examines the correctness of the contested decision.

Criminal procedure in front of a single judge
Burak, Oleg ; Říha, Jiří (advisor) ; Tejnská, Katarína (referee)
Criminal procedure in front of a single judge Abstract The master thesis focuses on the legislation concerning criminal procedure in front of a single judge and its purpose is not only the description of all aspects of such criminal procedure but also the presentation of disputable questions and their answers. Another objective of the thesis is to identify inappropriate legislation and provide solutions in the form of de lege ferenda thoughts, including the provision of opinions as to future legislation. Based on methods of description, analysis and historical comparison, the master thesis provides a comprehensive view on the single judge, while using commented legislation, academic literature and case law. The first chapter closely describes the historical evolution of the role of the single judge from 1918 (respectively since 1873 as the Austrian-Hungarian legislation had been adapted) until today. The second chapter solves a problematic question whether the single judge can administer justice at a regional court or only at a county court. The following chapters focus on the core of the thesis, which is described in the next three chapters. The third chapter presents the very first actions of the single judge after the prosecution is delivered to him. The fourth chapter is dedicated to the criminal order...

The evolution of the obsession phase of the Vichy syndrome: Klaus Barbie in the articles of Le Monde 1988-2017
Šrédlová, Petra ; Matějka, Ondřej (advisor) ; Bauer, Paul (referee)
Petra Šrédlová Diploma thesis Abstract Abstract The trial of Klaus Barbie was an important turning point in the French memory of the Vichy regime. For a purpose of Barbie's conviction, the interpretation of the crime against humanity was changed in the French legal system. Barbie's victims were, for the first time, given the opportunity to publicly testify. Furthermore, the trial provided an opportunity for development of the Jewish memory and the memory of the resistance. The trial of Klaus Barbie provided the basic legal and procedural framework later on used by the courts in trials with Vichy's criminals. Moreover, the personality of Klaus Barbie remained sealed in a negative sense in French memory, when he was often remembered on the occasion of various events. The aim of this diploma thesis is to prove that, on the basis of qualitative content analysis of articles by Le Monde containing the term "Klaus Barbie" in the period from July 3, 1988 to July 4, 2017, further development of the phase of Obsession of the Vichy syndrome can be traced, along with its thematic categories and intensity. This diploma thesis also argues that the memory development did not proceed consistently, but kept on returning in the form of various events in order to recall not only Klaus Barbie and his trial, but also other...

The Role of the Public Prosecutor in the Court Proceedings Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to comprehensively analyze issue of the public prosecutor and its role, especially in the court proceedings.

Nuremberg trial and judicial proceedings with protectorate government in Czech press
Jiříková, Eliška ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I deal with an analysis of the Nuremberg trial and judicial proceedings with protectorate government in the Czech press from October 1945 until October 1946. First I try to explain and describe the way to the Nuremberg trial and approximate the accused ones using professional literature. I did the same with the judicial proceedings with protectorate government. In this bachelor thesis I describe the most important acts for a rise of a tribunal in Nuremberg. I derive a description of a statute of a court and points of indictment from the professional literature. The process is described in articles from a period printing and the information is folded by the professional literature. I choose the same procedure and style in the second part of my bachelor thesis with the process with the protectorate government. The aim of my thesis is to analyze articles in the periodic press - Rudé Právo, Svobodné slovo, Lidová demokracie, Právo lidu, to compare a prejudice, style and a form of informing of an individual press

Rác, David ; Zahradníčková, Marie (advisor) ; Patěk, Daniel (referee)
A bill of Exchange was originally used as payment instrument. Recently, it is mostly used as securing instrument. This purpose was mainly evolved by legal practice and its legislation could be problematic and unclear for laymen. The main aim of this thesis is to analyze a bill of exchange as a securing instrument. Further attention is paid to the function of payment. However, the bill of exchange and check are both regulated in identical law, so to some of its institutes I also describe a checks. The main attention of my thesis is devoted to the securing purpose of the bill of exchange. There I describe the specifics of this instrument in the comparison of other civil securing instruments. Due to this contrast, it can be said, that the bill of exchange gives the creditor some significant advantage on one hand, but finds some insuperable limits on the other hand. My thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter describes the historical development of bills of exchange and check, and the circumstances under which these institutions were created. The second chapter deals with the exchange and check law, their rules, the systematic inclusion of this branch of law and the basic peculiarities are defined. The third chapter is devoted to a general definition of the bill of exchange, describes...
