The subject matter of my Master's degree thesis is the issue of divorce proceedings. The main aim of this thesis is to put an interpretation on the currently effective legislation on divorce proceedings and divorce itself as it follows mainly from Act No. 292/2013 Coll., on Special Judicial Proceedings and Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code. Divorce is the only legally permissible way in the Czech Republic how to terminate marriage within both spouses' lives. It leads to severe legal consequences affecting not just spouses themselves but alternatively their legitimate children as well. Therefore it requires a set of special rules and special proceedings so that courts may ascertain the presence of the irretrievable breakdown of marriage which only justifies allowing divorce and decide spouses' personal and property relations in connection with divorce. This thesis is divided into five parts which all bear certain relation to divorce proceedings. The first part provides an overview of divorce regulations throughout Czech history up to now. The second part firstly addresses the relation between substantive law and procedural law regarding divorce. Subsequently, it focuses on substantive legislation on divorce in the Czech Republic. All local possible types of divorce, the divorce ground and results...

Čevelová, Lucie ; Pohl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Smolík, Petr (referee)
The current regulation of the discharge of debts in the Czech Republic from the perspective of jurisprudence This thesis analyzes the institute of discharge of debts, which was incorporated into our legal system relatively recently, effective as of 1st January 2008, and soon became a very popular instrument for resolving the debtor's bankruptcy or impending bankruptcy. The importance of the jurisprudence in the area of discharge of debts is highlighted in this work. Although the jurisprudence is not the source of law in the Czech Republic, the decisions of insolvency courts are significantly influenced by that. Cited in this work, there are lots of very important decisions of the High Courts as well as the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic, which considerably influenced the institute of discharge of debts. For example, the High Court in Prague in fact implemented the institute of the joint debt relief of spouses, unknown by the Insolvency Act before 31st December 2013. Considerable attention is further paid to the so called Revision Amendment, i.e. the Amendment to the Insolvency Act No. 294/2013 Coll., effective as of 1st January 2014. By means of this Amendment the legislator has reflected the most important juridical decisions into the Insolvency Act. In particular, the possibility of the...

Selected Issues of Consumer Contracts
Opletalová, Kristýna ; Pohl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Elischer, David (referee)
Selected Issues of Consumer Contracts Consumer contracts as contracts concluded with consumer who is the weaker party make integral part of our everyday life. Although we usually consider consumer protectionan area of contractual law, it is a category with an overlap into commercial, european, criminal and administrative law. Consumer law which is strongly affected by EU legislation, stands on the border between private and public law. Practical aspects of consumerlaw, however, do not in any way exclude its mainpurpose - seeking justice, i.e. balancing equality on one side and freedom on the otherside. This branch of law is even more topical nowadays as we are exposed to advertising anywhere. Despite the fact that we are experiencing economical crisis at the moment, financial knowledge of Czech population increases slowly. Legislation does not correspond to the development of society. Reality is then quite different to the way we know it from textbooks. The New Civil Code that brings many changes not only in consumer law was adopted in 2012. It provoked numberless discussions both between lawyers and public. The importance of the code was overshadowed by media shortcut and ideological construction. The old legislation was presented as a socialist heritage that we have to get rid of. The reform of...
