Secondary objectives in public procurement
Bém, Matouš ; Horáček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Rozehnal, Aleš (referee)
The thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of the horizontal policies in public procurement with the aim to determine whether public procurement may be used as a legitimate tool in the pursuit of such policies. Horizontal or secondary policies refer to the policies not inherently connected to the functional objective of public procurement - i.e. to the purchase of goods and services. These may among other strike at social or environmental issues. For this purpose, the descriptive and analytic methodics are used. The case-law of CJEU was the primary source of the thesis along with the relevant literature and both EU and Czech legislation. The thesis is structured into two chapters. The first chapter provides essential introduction to the legislation in place in respect of the horizontal policies in public procurement. The second part of the chapter then analyses relevant case-law of CJEU. Particular attention is paid to the case law in respect of public procurement used as a tool to pursue employment policies. The second chapter named taxonomy of horizontal policies elaborates on the relationship between economic and legal aspect of the public procurement in general. It quickly comes to the conclusion, that the contracting authorities must deal with both the legal and economic aspects of public...

Skalská, Helena ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Rozehnal, Aleš (referee) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
Protection of a Weaker Contract Party and Private International Law The topic of this dissertation thesis is the protection of weaker parties in the context of determination and application of the applicable law. The dissertation seeks anchor and concept of protection of weaker parties in the Rome I Regulation. The thesis is divided into three main parts. The first part deals with the basis for protection of weaker parties, linking the theoretical and value foundations on which the protection stands with practical implications that ignorance of significantly unequal position might have. For a comprehensive understanding, it is necessary to look at the background of individual legal rules. However, dealing with these issues cannot be viewed solely in the context of private international law. Certain legal institutions of private international law may not be designated solely for the protection of certain categories of weaker parties but may be used to protect a weaker party with regard to the concept of a weaker party and the importance of its protection in substantive law (especially civil law). The second part, which is the focal point of this thesis, consists in the analysis of ways of protecting the weaker parties, both at a more general methodological level and in the form of a more detailed...

The creditor protection law within corporate debt financing
Šubrt, Martin ; Černá, Stanislava (advisor) ; Rozehnal, Aleš (referee) ; Elek, Štefan (referee)
The creditor protection law within corporate debt financing Abstract In this paper I have dealt with the protection of a creditor in debt corporate financing, where the debtor is a capital company. In this case, there are relatively specific conflicts of interest between creditors on one hand and shareholders on the other. This is due, in particular, to the characteristics of a capital company where the shareholders are not liable for the liabilities of the company (or they are limited in their liability) and are not responsible for their decisions, while the assets of the company are separated from the assets of the shareholders. Shareholders and creditors thus make competition for company assets. While the shareholders want to realize their investment as quickly as possible, they stand in an imaginary queue as residual creditors of the company at the end. This may lead to their attempt to overtake fixed creditors. This motivation culminates especially in situations where the company is in financial difficulties. Shareholders are aware of the fact that in case of insolvency, no company assets will be distributed to them. In this thesis, I focus on protection of creditors of companies from opportunistic behaviour of shareholders, who may withdraw the company's assets at the expense of its creditors, i.e....

Cross-border Anti-competitive Agreements
Tupá, Kristýna ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Rozehnal, Aleš (referee) ; Zahradníčková, Marie (referee)
1 ABSTRACT Cross-border Anti-competitive Agreements Functional market mechanism, as an essential element of a market economy, is a prerequisite for the economic prosperity of advanced democratic states. A completely crucial element of its functionality is free competition, the protection of which is regulated by competition law. However, competition does not apply consistently across all sectors. In this thesis I focuse on its application within the financial services area. This sector`s nature is very specific because we must always strive to maintain financial stability when implementing any measures. How should legislation respond to these aspects respond and how should the competition policy itself be shaped? Is regulation of this area necessary or does the competition intself represent a thread to the financial stability of the system? In order to fully understand the specifics of this area, it is firstly necessary to become familiar with the economic aspect of competition law and the nature of these white-collar crimes. Consequently, I will focus on the application of the competition law on financial services, taking into account new technologies and their influence on the structure of this market. The impact of competition on the banking sector is one of the core parts of this thesis. Based on an...

European Trends in Judicial Mediation and Their Use in the Czech Republic
Tošnerová, Ráchel ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Rozehnal, Aleš (referee) ; Feigerlová, Monika (referee)
EUROPEAN TRENDS IN JUDICIAL MEDIATION AND THEIR USE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC Abstract This dissertation deals with the phenomenon of judicial mediation. In the first part, it defines the term of mediation as such and determines its essential and additional elements. Further, the text looks into the wide spectrum of cases in which this method of alternative dispute resolution can be applied. The author specifically points out that limiting its use to family matters is rather inappropriate. The following section systematically identifies the individual types, forms and methods of mediation so that each mediation can be customized for the respective case. Finally, the first part ends with a reflection on the current issues connected to criticism of mediation. These are the enforcement of international mediated settlement agreements, the potential conflict with access to justice and the binding nature as well as enforceability of mediation clauses including their stipulation in general terms and conditions. The second part is an analysis of the use of judicial mediation in selected European countries - Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia and Spain. Different approaches to the implementation of the mediation directive are described as well as techniques for the promotion of its use. The output of the...
