86 Abstract Statutory liability of members and other persons for debts of business corporations (including supranational corporations) The thesis aims to introduce the economic rationale behind the legal concept of limited liability, including the risks for creditors attached thereto, and to analyse the legal instruments designed to remedy the impacts of its misuse or abuse. Accordingly, this thesis attempts to point to the shortcomings of the current legal framework and to offer a solution thereto. For this purpose the author uses the traditional methods of legal interpretation and draws upon the laws of the United Kingdom, which inspired the authors of the Czech Corporations Act 2012 in many respects. After the opening chapter, which introduces the current legal framework for limited liability of shareholders and defines legal relations of company's agents towards third persons, the historic development of limited liability in the United Kingdom will be outlined in the second chapter. The introduction of limited liability in 19th Century was accompanied by intense society-wide debate, the findings of which will help to understand the limited liability in its wider context and will form the ground for the following assessment of its benefits and risks for creditors of limited liability companies.

Vrba, Milan ; Černá, Stanislava (advisor) ; Dvořák, Tomáš (referee) ; Josková, Lucie (referee)
Particular cases of statutory secondary liability in the law of limited companies are relatively frequent. Forasmuch as a publication providing comprehensive analysis of the subject matter is still missing, the aim of the thesis is to offer thorough treatise of the issue in its whole broadness. The first chapter analyses the secondary liability as the institution of the general law of obligations. Fundamental features of the secondary liability are pointed out and respective rights and duties of the relevant parties are outlined. The issue of subrogation, joint secondary liability, termination of the secondary liability and statutory bar of the rights arising therefrom are discussed. The second chapter deals with the statutory secondary liability of the members (shareholders) of the limited companies. The thesis shows that both debts and claims of company may be subject to secondary liability of its shareholders. The third chapter focuses on the statutory secondary liability of the members of company bodies (directors). Besides primary liability for the harm caused, the company law punishes the director's failure to observe his or her duties by means of secondary liability for the company's debts as well. Particular cases are critically analysed. The fourth chapter concentrates on the statutory...

The picaresque in Angela Carter
Mečířová, Eliška ; Nováková, Soňa (advisor) ; Wallace, Clare (referee)
in English This MA thesis focuses on the analysis of picaresque elements and traces of the picaresque genre in chosen novels of Angela Carter, namely her two most picaresque novels: The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman (1972) and Nights at the Circus (1984). However, as I have strived to prove throughout the analysis, Carter's earlier novels from the sixties, The Magic Toyshop (1967), and Heroes and Villains (1969) are also rich in picaresque themes and motives of the journey and therefore deserve to have their place in the analysis too. In the introduction the dissertation traces the history of the picaresque from its sixteenth-century Spanish roots until its more modern and postmodern development. It also stresses that in relation to Carter's work it is important to take into account her intertextuality. In describing it Linden Peach borrows Julia Kristeva's quotation from Semiotike, Recherches pour un Semanalyse where she observes that: "Every text builds itself as a mosaic of quotations, every text is absorption and transformation of another text."1 For Carter this is especially valid - her novels are hybrid, multi-layered mosaics which use and at the same time subvert mythology, the Bible, European and English literary works, Renaissance drama (Shakespeare), fairy-stories and folk...
