Contractual obligations in private international law
Haasová, Tereza ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Růžička, Květoslav (referee)
The objective of this Master's thesis is to analyze the rules of law governing contractual obligations in private international law. First, the relevant sources of law and their concrete application are examined through descriptive and analytical method. The thesis is then focusing on two specific phenomena that have significantly influenced the development of the field in the last few decades. The first one is a gradual process of unification taking place at the legislation level. The second one is called "new lex mercatoria" and represents a non-sate source of rules governing contractual obligations with a cross-border element. Both of the phenomena are analyzed from both theoretical and practical point of view. The thesis is divided in five chapters and the analysis progresses from a general to a more specific level. The first chapter focuses on the legal definitions indispensable for a more detailed analysis provided in the following chapters. In order to better contextualize the rules governing contractual relationships in the international private law, the second chapter is dedicated to its historical evolution. Moreover, the chapter introduces and compares methods regulating contractual relationships in the international private law, while acknowledging the specific circumstances of their creation....

Objective arbitrability as the limit of a transnational legal order
Vítek, Michal ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Bělohlávek, Alexander (referee) ; Frinta, Ondřej (referee)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT Objective arbitrability as a limit of the transnational legal order In general, the disertation deals with a topic of interaction between the transnational and national law in the area of international trade. Specifically, it attempts to use the concept of objective arbitrability as a limit of the privately-created system of law referred to as lex mercatoria (alternatively "new lex mercatoria"). The reason for the chosen methodology is to come up with the most objective criterion to demark the scope of the application of privately created norms. Despite the wide recognition of the NLM fenomenon among the scholars and even arbitrators, the parties of international trade contracts can not be certain whether (and to what extent) the choice of NLM will be limitating, especially in the face of later recognition and enforcement of their arbital awards. The findings of this dissertation flows from the analysis of transnational norms, decisions of both state courts and arbitration tribunals and the relevant sources of law-theory. Especially important is the description of the concept of lex mercatoria as such and the description of order public, both in national and international/european meaning as it represents the final limit of application of privately-created norms. The conclusion of the...

In connection with the use of lex mercatoria in the process of contracting the specific attention is given to the choice of applicable law by reference to certain rules of lex mercatoria. The criticism of such choice-of-law method is analysed, as well as its justification and also the requirements for the validity of such choice-of-law method. The second half of the Thesis is dedicated to a particular formalized rules of lex mercatoria, as well as to their legal grounds in Czech law, and also to some legislative changes in the Czech Republic after January 1, 2014, relevant to the lex mercatoria. The final chapter addresses the practical application of lex mercatoria in the international commercial arbitration. The chapter begins with a brief and general introduction to the international commercial arbitration....

The New Lex Mercatoria
Vítek, Michal ; Dobiáš, Petr (advisor) ; Pauknerová, Monika (referee)
NLM Abstract The topic of lex mercatoria does not represent any new nor revolutionary concept for the legal science, on the contrary it is a concept present in the european legal thinking since the middle ages. Despite of that it still remains without a clear and comprehensible theoretical framework thus in a stage of some sort of a legal hypothesis. This rigorous thesis describes in its five chapters the topic of lex mercatoria - specifically its up to date form: New Lex Mercatoria - not as a concept but as an applicable law and within the extent of this thesis attempts to come up with both the reasons for such perspective as well as with those which oppose it. For this reason it answers the following basic questions: Does a clear concept of the New Lex Mercatoria exist? Does such law have the historical continuity? Does such law have any clear distinctivness when compared to the legal orders of national states? Which norms create such legal order and who and under which conditions does enforce them?

Multi-Tiered Dispute Resolution Methods in International Business
Vítek, Michal ; Dobiáš, Petr (advisor) ; Růžička, Květoslav (referee)
THESIS ABSTRACT The topic of Multi-tiered dispute resolution methods (or "MDR") is one of growing importance for parties involved in international transactions. When applied it allows them to resolve their disputes "smoothly" with the possibility to avoid an open conflict scenario and reduce their transaction costs. This masters thesis aim is to describe the legal phenomenon mentioned above in seven chapters. The first three chapters deal with theoretical and historical background of the topic, followed by the description of a variety of possible dispute resolution methods in chapter IV. Chapter V. lists three model MDR clauses and describes the Med-arb method as a typical example of MDR. Chapters VI. and VII. are concerned with practical questions of relevant legal orders in the arbitration step of MDR and with the importance of recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards.
