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....

Obligational means of securing claims in the international trade Abstract The subject of this dissertation is obligational means of securing claims and their functioning in the commercial transactions with international coverage.

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...

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 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...

Kovářová, Alice ; Horáček, Vít (advisor) ; Rozehnal, Aleš (referee)
A comparison of national trade mark with Community trade mark The purpose of this thesis is to provide fundamental information about trademarks and their legal regulation. In my thesis I focus on the decision making practice of the ÚVP, the European Union Intellectual Property Office and I attempt to compare their argumentation at decision making practice. In order to compare the decision making of the two offices I decided, because their legislations are very similar and their comparison would not be of great significance. Following the amendment by regulation no. 2424/2015 there have been some changes such as abolition of the necessity a graphical representation, the introduction of the so-called certification trade mark or the explicitly anchoring of the sound as a sign of a capable label. After the novella in the thesis I analyzed the decisions of the two authorities in the matters of assessing the registrability of the signs applied for. I have focused on the two absolute grounds for declaring incapability, namely the descriptiveness of the sign referred to in § 4 letter c) of the Act, respectively Article 7 subsection 1 letter (c) of the Regulation and the generality of the marking referred to in § 4 letter d) of the Act, respectively Article 7 subsection 1 letter d) of the Regulation.
