The application of alternative dispute resolution methods in the exercise of conusumer rights and resolution of consumer disputes
Teplá, Jana ; Smolík, Petr (advisor) ; Frintová, Dita (referee)
Judicial protection is considered as the basic civilian right guaranteed by many of international conventions and constitutions of particular states, which is necessary in cases of endangering or breach of law. Although it is the basic safeguard, some of the infringed relationships need another technique of their solving (especially family, labour or neighbourlyrelationships). Among these ranks the consumer relationship - relations between consumers and traders. This relationship has a specific character - it is imbalanced. The consumer is economically weaker and less experienced in legal matters than the other party to the contract - the trader. Many consumers refrain from taking action in case of infringement of their right because of certain problems associated with court procedures in consumer disputes, such as high fees, long delays and cumbersome procedures; outgoings exceed the value of claim. In order to enhance the effectiveness of the enforcement of consumer rights and increase access to justice, there were set up special out-of-court procedures. These use various alternative dispute methods which are denoted as structured methods of resolving disputes other than formal court based adjudication, such as mediation, arbitration and conciliation which facilitate consumer access to justice....

The topic of my thesis is the legal and social regulation of drug addiction. The drugs phenomenon stays a global and constant societal problem. I started to be interested in drug issue shortly after revolution, after I attended my very first talk about drugs within the school education. The aim of my thesis was to map development and current situation of drug problems, especially drug scene state, national and European drug policy, analysis of legislation, and last but not least, prevention, treatment and subsequent rehabilitation of drug addicts in the Czech Republic and European Union countries. Czech Republic came closer to European countries with the introduction of new criminal legislation. However, despite all efforts of harmonization of the European Union differences between countries exist in the legal framework and specific procedures in the field of drug. Individual states have their own characteristics in the drugs field, and therefore we cannot generalize uniform procedures for all states. Nevertheless, sub-national practices could stand for inspiration for the Czech Republic in similar cases. This thesis consists of four main chapters, which are further divided into individual subsections. The first chapter contains a definition of drug addiction and the basic classification of drugs,...

Foster care under public law and private law
Kalocsányiová, Katarína ; Radvanová, Senta (advisor) ; Dvořák, Jan (referee)
FOSTER CARE UNDER PUBLIC LAW AND PRIVATE LAW The present thesis is dedicated to different aspects of foster care: its historical development; sources of law; conditions of its origination and dissolution; foster care mediation; rights and obligations of foster parents, children and biological parents; forms of foster care; and the system of financial supports. Normally, the child's interest is to remain with his family of origin. But if it is impossible for any subjective or objective reason, a substitute family care must be provided. According to the given criteria and limitations the child can be adopted; entrusted to a person other than his/her parents; entrusted to a guardian (although guardianship can be considered as a form of substitute family care only if the guardian takes care of the minor personally); or placed in a foster family. Institutional care should be the last option. For a long time, Czech republic have been criticized for having too many children in institutional care, even though it must be stressed that sometimes it is the only remaining solution (e.g. in the case of seriously handicapped person). But the main priority of the state should be to ensure a substitute family care always when possible. As stated earlier, one of the forms of alternative child care is the foster...
