Pérez, Nicolas ; Sedláček, Miroslav (advisor) ; Střeleček, Tomáš (referee)
The Costs of Bankruptcy Abstract This work deals with the question of whether insolvency law effectively reduces the cost of bankruptcy in the context of insolvency proceedings of commercial corporations. The author first defines the economic foundations of insolvency law and emphasizes its goal as a maximalization of the creditor's wealth. The first chapter focuses on the initial context of insolvency proceedings and emphasizes an economic perspective that views insolvency proceedings as a mechanism for shifting a residual claim from shareholders to creditors at the lowest costs.

Selected problems of application of the Insolvency Act
Kulíř, Martin ; Pohl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Macková, Alena (referee)
Selected problems of application of the Insolvency Act On the 1st of January 2008, Act No. 182/2006 Coll. on Insolvency and its Resolution (Insolvency Act), which constitutes the substance of current legal regulation of bankruptcy law in the Czech Republic, came into force. There was a need to adopt new regulation emerged not only as a result of obsolescence of the original regulation, which - despite numerous direct or indirect amendments - was not able to respond adequately to economic changes, but also due to the necessity to adjust bankruptcy law to European legal regulations. The Insolvency Act together with implementing regulations form the basis of an entirely new and complex legal regulation which stands on its own principles, introduces uniform insolvency proceedings for all kinds of resolutions of insolvency and also new forms of insolvency resolutions. In addition to bankruptcy as a traditional and liquidating form of insolvency resolution, the Insolvency Act introduces a reorganisation and a discharge of debts as preservation methods of insolvency resolution which might be more profitable both for the debtor and his creditors. Reorganisation is designated for entrepreneurs, while discharge of debts was adopted as a resolution of state of insolvency of non-entrepreneurs. But this current legal...

Difficulties of enterprises and their solutions (comparison of French and Czech legislation)
Hudáková, Jana ; Švarc, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Hásová, Jiřina (referee)
Difficulties of enterprises constitute negative phenomenon in society. They occur so often that both French and Czech legislator decided to regulate them by adoption of relevant legal provisions that offer particular ways of solution of debtor's bankruptcy. Bankruptcy law, term generally denoting this legal area, passed through "rich" historical development, what reflects in its legal, economic and social framework. Thesis is divided into four parts. The first one briefly defines difficulties of enterprises. The second one deals with different ways of solution of debtor's bankruptcy in French law, introduces principal changes that were made by the latest amendments from the area of bankruptcy law and by means of attached statistics illustrates number of bankruptcies and ways of their "treatment" in France. The third part deals with Czech insolvency law and underlines changes introduced by the new law of bankruptcy and ways of its solution that entirely replaced previous "law about bankruptcy and settlement". The last part summarizes findings of my thesis, proposes eventual ways of mutual inspiration derived from French or Czech bankruptcy law, deals with reflections de lege ferenda and outlines some terminological problems.

Poverty and overdebtedness of Czech households
Mastná, Markéta ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (advisor) ; Veverková, Soňa (referee)
The diploma work deals with the problem of poverty following from overdebtedness of Czech households. Poverty is defined as a strong social handicap leading up to a social exclusion. Overdebtedness means such a financial situation when households are not able to fulfill their financial obligations and thus it concerns especially households with low incomes. In the Czech Republic this fact has been distinguished since the year 2000. The topic of the diploma work points at the development of overdebtedness of Czech households and its evaluation, the size of this problem and the estimation of its further development. It analyses the threat to households leading to a debt trap. It deals with economic impact of state debtedness in connection with that of Czech households. Some attention is paid to the increasing unemployment as one of the strongest causes leading to a state of poverty and consequently to undesirable debtedness showing the evident link between unemployment and overdebtedness. At the same time, the emphasis is put onto individual responsibility and lifelong education as the prevention and solution to unemployment and doubtedness. The phenomenon of overdebtedness of Czech households is understood as a warning signal of the present.
