Jandurová, Kateřina ; Tejnská, Katarína (advisor) ; Šelleng, Dalibor (referee)
Urgent and non-repeatable actions Abstract The graduation thesis focuses on the ambivalent institute of urgent and non-repeatable actions, which combines two contradictory requirements. On the one hand, a balance needs to be struck between the demand to protect the state, society and the legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities and to ensure a fair trial for the person against whom criminal proceedings are being conducted, on the other. The purpose of the urgent and non-repeatable actions is to enable the authorities involved in criminal proceedings to secure perishable evidence, even at the cost of infringing the rights of the defense. However, this distortion should be compensated to the defense by providing increased protection and furthermore, urgent and non-repeatable actions should be performed only when the legal conditions are fulfilled. The main goal of the thesis is a comprehensive analysis of urgent and non-repeatable actions in the sense of the Code of Criminal Procedure and higlihgting controversial issues and problems that arise in practice. The graduation thesis is composed of four chapters, each of them dealing with different aspect of urgent and non-repeatable actions. Chapter 1 is subdivided into two parts. Part 1 describes the historical development of urgent and...
