Polánský, Adam ; Winterová, Alena (advisor) ; Smolík, Petr (referee)
Resumé The official title of my thesis is Application for an appeal review on the points of law in civil procedure. The main objective of this thesis is to describe the development of an institute of an application for an appeal review throughout the legal history of the civil procedure in the area of the Czech Republic up to current state, with a particular focus on the conditions of admissibility of such application and its essentials. My thesis is composed of three chapters. The first chapter is to introduce the reader to the historical development of an application of an appeal review from the very beginning in the 18th century up to date. In particular, the landmark Constitutional Court decision (sp. zn. Pl. ÚS 29/11) is emphasized in the end of the chapter. The second chapter deals with the actual legislation of an application for an appeal review in The Code of Civil Procedure. Its main goal is to describe this institute as whole. It is also to provide the reader with further analysis of some controversial issues of the actual legislation as the conditions of admissibility of an application and its essentials required by the law. Finally, it manifests the attitude of the judiciary towards these problematic features of the actual legislation. The third chapter contains the brief explication about an...

Extraordinary remedies in criminal proceedings
Fejklová, Lucie ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Tlapák Navrátilová, Jana (referee)
Remedies in criminal proceedings are designed in particular to remedy and rectify errors and mistakes occurring in the course of the proceeding, and as such serve for the review and rectification of both legal and factual defects. Remedies may be ordinary or extraordinary. Ordinary remedies include appeal, complaint and protest, while extraordinary remedies include extraordinary appeal, complaint for breach of law and renewal of proceeding. The principal prerequisite for the stability of final and enforceable decisions in criminal proceedings is their unchangeability. It is impossible to rule out a serious error, and such a defect in the final and enforceable decision of a law enforcement or judicial body may occur as a result that insisting on its binding and unchangeable nature would disrupt fair and correct decision-making. The finality and enforceability of a decision ought to be pierced in exceptional cases only, and then only when it is necessary and when the stability of the decision cannot be insisted on. Extraordinary appeal was introduced into the Czech legal order by the 2001 amendment to the Criminal Code. This extraordinary legal remedy serves to remedy enumerated defects in the most important types of court decisions, or to review life sentences. Extraordinary appeal can only be used...

Decision-making of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic and its impact upon civil proceedings
Bartoš, Jan ; Winterová, Alena (advisor) ; Frintová, Dita (referee)
Name of the text, you are holding in your hands, could be well translated as "Decesion making of Czech Constitutional Court and its influence on civil procedure." It consist of three very separate parts, each of them following its own topic, linked up together only with major role of Constitutional Court (further "CC"). First chapter is dedicated to a slightly controversial case, which has been widely publicly discussed. The topic is strictly procedural, it refers to the possibilty of higher courts to remove and assign single cases to different judge/panel of judges. Although under certain circumstances allowed, in this case it seemed to be an unjustifed violation of art. 38 par. 1 of Letter of human rights and I conclude arguments, which could justify such restrictive process. Second one is following last ten years of interventions in Code of Civil Procedure, namely in regulation of review of appeal. In the first part are described reasons, why CC consider decision with missing justification unconstitutional and accordingly declares corresponding part of Code of Civil Procedure unconstitutional. In second part I analyze long-term contrary judgements of CC and Czech supreme court on admissibility of review of appeal which resulted in major part of regulation being declared unconstitutional. I...
