Bill of exchange as a securing instrument
Brychta, Michal ; Horáček, Vít (advisor) ; Zahradníčková, Marie (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to give reader a treatise about specific use of bill of exchange as a securing instrument. The promissory note as a debtor security may take various economic life functions. Since the inception of law of exchange it was primarily the medium of payment, whereas the securing function was developed much later. Actually a relative novelty of securing function of bill of exchange leads to a wide range of issues that need to be resolved in connection with its use. In particular, it is absolutely necessary to realize that the obligation incorporated into promissory note will be regardless of its function always the obligation abstract and individual. The above mentioned abstract and individual obligation is mainly manifested in a different connection to the secured obligation, which is much more fragile than in case of use of standard securing obligations that are on the contrary characteristic by accesority and subsidiarity. In spite of the fact that the aim of the thesis is concentrated on bill of exchange as securing instrument, the first chapter is devoted to issues of law of exchange in general. Within particular subchapters there is outlined the historical development of law of exchange in our country, including the sources of current legislation. Furthermore author explains...

Preus, Pavel ; Zahradníčková, Marie (advisor) ; Černá, Stanislava (referee)
The purpose of my thesis, bearing the title "The principle of draft rigorousness (rigor cambii) in the perspective of Czech substantive and procedural law", is to analyze the term of draft rigorousness as well as to consider its influence on chosen institutes of the draft law. The reason to choose such topic for my thesis is my deep interest in this area of law, thanks to its precise regulation and rich history of evolvement of individual draft institutes. The paper is divided into five parts, where the introductory part is followed by three major chapters and the conclusion. The first of the chapters is called The Draft rigorousness, the second The Term of draft rigorousness and the third The Individual categories of draft rigorousness. The first chapter briefly outlines the characteristics of draft law as such with reference to the rigorousness of draft law in comparison to the general legal regulation. Furthermore it provides a comparison of the continental and Anglo-Saxon draft law in terms of formality and rigorousness of the regulation. The second chapter of my thesis focuses on the term of draft rigorousness itself and attempts to define its substantiality. The issue studied is whether to understand the term of draft rigorousness only as an attribute of the draft regulation, or if it should...

Švarc, Jan ; Horáček, Vít (advisor) ; Elek, Štefan (referee)
in English The thesis aims especially on questions concerning law of exchange which are not satisfactorily answered yet neither by academical community nor by judicial decisions made by the Czech courts and those which should be, from the point of my view, answered differently. In the first chapter, I tried to critically review various doctrinal definitions of bill of exchange and to draw up my own definition which affects bill of exchange complexly in its entireness. Second chapter is divided into three subdivisions chronologically. First subdivision refers to proofs of ancient documents congenial to contemporary bills of exchange. I have come to conclusion that the existence of bills of exchange can be proven as far as the beginning of the first millenium. Institute simmilar to the one of bill of exchange may be found in the Roman civil law. The second subdivision of second chapter assays medieval bills of exchange very thoroughly more than any other thesis on the same subject. All my ideas given are supported by quotations. The third subdivision briefly explains development of law of exchange in the modern period.
