Preliminary measures in international arbitration
Pišvejcová, Andrea ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Pfeiffer, Magdalena (referee)
In the 20th century, Arbitration became one the most widely utilized form of dispute resolution in the field of international commerce. The use of Arbitration provides parties with more flexibility. This thesis examines one of the current trends in international arbitration - interim measures. Their purpose is to be able to react in situations when the proceedings are already pending or even before they actually commenced. They should significantly reduce the risk that the arbitral award may be frustrated or unenforceable. In these situations, it may be justifiable to interfere with parties' relationships. The thesis is focused particularly on the jurisdiction of an arbitral tribunal to issue interim measures and on the role of national courts in this field. In the terms of competence of arbitral tribunals, the legal basis of their jurisdiction and conditions necessary to issue interim measures are highlighted. In the case of the role of national courts, the thesis examines their ancillary function (interim measures issued by national courts) as well as their supervisory function (review of the interim measures issued by arbitral tribunals). The most important aspect is then the enforcement of interim measures. The very latest trend - emergency arbitrator proceedings - is not excluded. The thesis...

Legal regulation of ad hoc and institutional international arbitration in the Czech Republic and Portugal
Přib, Jan ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Kučera, Zdeněk (referee)
This rigorous work deals with the analysis of legal regulation of ad hoc and institutional international arbitration in the Czech Republic and Portugal. It processes individual elements of (international) arbitration, such as the dispute arbitrability, prerequisites of the arbitration agreement, the function of an arbitrator, arbitration proceedings, arbitration awards and their enforcement, as well as other facts relevant to the international arbitration. The work also analyses the rules of arbitration of the permanent arbitration courts, which are in the Czech Republic and Portugal authorized to solve international disputes. In this context, it is worth noting that in terms of rules of arbitration of the Portuguese arbitration centres, these were from the Czech point of view almost unexplored areas. This was indeed one of the reasons for the choice of such subject. The aim of this work is not to provide only a "rough" description, respectively to quote the relevant legal provisions, however to provide detailed analysis of problems where they could occur due to the ambiguous wording, non-constant or non-existing judicial decisions or from other reasons. Therefore, the goals of the work are to provide the reader a comprehensive view on ad hoc and institutional international arbitration in the Czech...

Mandatory rules in the international commercial relations
Kolářová, Anna Anežka ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Pfeiffer, Magdalena (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to define the cathegory of peremptory rules in private international law and to describe their specific use in the commercial domain compared to business to consumer contractual relations. The reason for my research was my concern for the conflict between the formal possibility to conclude a contract and the actual enforceability of the contractual claims before a court or before alternative dispute resolution bodies in the domain of private international law. A major part of the thesis uses an analytical approach and a grammatical, teleological and logical interpretation of the mentioned legal instruments. The final part is grounded on the legal comparation of several laws across different countries and thus demonstrating how different approaches to peremtory rules may influence the actual interpetation of various legal relations and the contractual liberty in general. The thesis is composed of four chapters and a conclusion. To begin with, the first chapter focuses on the peremptory rules in international commercial relations as a whole. It aims to define the core notion of the peremptory rules. It also reals with a personal and material scope of the thesis - the particularities of commercial relations. Furthermore, the second chapter examines the application of the...

Legal regulation of international arbitration in the Czech Republic and Portugal
Přib, Jan ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Dobiáš, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with legislation of international arbitration in Czech republic and Portugal. The choice of international arbitration and of these countries particularly as the object of the work has not been done coincidentally of course, the reason is, despite Czech republic and Portugal are countries with that do have a lot in common, e.g. their membership in European Union, similar economic power and current situation and relatively significant activity in international trade that the area of Portuguese legislation of international arbitration and of the whole system of law from the Czech view and vice versa remains still almost unexplored. The choice of international arbitration was not random either. Such choice was made due to the fact that arbitration is probably the most significant way of out-of-court settlement of disputes in last years and decades with use still increasing. It offers parties a private settlement of litigation with easy enforceability of rendered arbitration award abroad, and foreing arbitration award at home. Therefore, the objectives of this work were not solely to describe the present legislation of international arbitration but also to enable the reader to comprehend particular legal provisions correctly in a sense of their legal background. The work analyses the...
