Acquisition of ownership title from a non-entitled person
Vojíř, Jakub ; Janoušková, Anežka (advisor) ; Dvořák, Jan (referee)
Acquisition of ownership title from a non-entitled person This thesis deals with the institute of acquisition of ownership title from a non-entitled person with focus on the acquisition of movable property. The purpose of this institute is to compensate for the lack of the transferor's title to transfer the ownership right in certain justified cases. Acquisition of ownership title from a non-entitled person is an original way of acquiring property right and leads to the breaking of the legal principle nemo plus iuris ad alium transfere potest quam ipse habet - no one can transfer more rights to another than they possess themselves. Although almost ten years have passed since the new legal regulation, which introduced this institute in its current scope into the Czech legal system, has come into force, it is still possible to encounter a number of uncertainties accompanying this legal regulation. It is precisely their numerous occurrences that point to the need for a critical examination of this regulation. The subject is therefore still up to date and the case-law is constantly evolving. In particular, conclusions concerning the requirements of bona fides on the part of the purchaser must be sought primarily in the decision-making practice of the courts. The thesis consists of an introduction, four...

Precontractual liability in obligations with an international element
Černá, Kristýna ; Bříza, Petr (advisor) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
Precontractual liability in obligations with an international element Abstract The thesis deals with the issue of precontractual liability in contractual relations with an international element. The focus is mainly on an analysis of the approach of selected foreign legal systems, namely Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Ukraine, but also on unification efforts aimed at bridging the differences between the individual national regulations. Precontractual liability is a very complex legal institution. While Czech law is relatively detailed in this respect and no major problems arise, the application of culpa in contrahendo in international trade practice still raises more questions than answers. The application of the concept in the international environment is problematic mainly due to the different conceptions of culpa in contrahendo in individual countries. Most striking is the difference between the approach taken by continental and common-law legal systems, respectively. Common law, which does not recognize precontractual liability as a legal institution at all, works with the doctrine of promissory estoppel, which in some situations is able to replace the missing institution of culpa in contrahendo. Of course, the conflict-of-laws rules on precontractual liability also differ,...

Acquisition of right in rem from unauthorised person to a thing registered in public register
Cihlář, Matěj ; Zvára, Michael (advisor) ; Salač, Josef (referee)
Acquisition of right in rem from unauthorised person to a thing registered in public register Abstract This thesis deals with the topic of acquisition of the ownership right to immovable property registered in the cadastral register from an unauthorized person on the basis of the provision of Section 984 of the Czech Civil Code. The thesis then focuses on the condition of good faith (bona fides) of the acquirer and its specific conditions in such cases. The thesis is divided into four main chapters. The first chapter is devoted to an overview of the main legal principles that are reflected in this field. The second chapter provides a brief summary of the evolution of the legislation regarding this matter from the First Czechoslovak Republic to the present day. The third chapter is then devoted to the analysis of the good faith of the acquirer, based on the legislation, literature and case law, both current and historical. The fourth chapter then introduces the German legislation and compares the main points on which the legislation and practice in both countries are based. The author concludes that the good faith of the acquirer in the entry in the cadastral register is presumed in the Czech legal environment; however, the courts impose significant requirements on the acquirer to exclude doubts about the...

Acquisition of the right of ownership from a non-entitled person
Novák, Matěj ; Lederer, Vít (advisor) ; Frinta, Ondřej (referee)
Acquisition of the right of ownership from a non-entitled person Abstract This thesis deals with the institute of acquisition of the right of ownership from a non- entitled person [acquisition from a non-entitled person]. It is a way of acquiring the right of ownership which represents an exception to the generally applicable Roman law principle "nemo plus iuris ad alium transferre potest, quam ipse habet" - no one can transfer to another more rights than oneself would have. This exception is rationalised by the fact that the acquirer is bona fide regarding the transferor's authority to transfer the ownership. The institute of acquisition from a non-entitled person is then the result of a conflict of values between the original owner and the bona fide acquirer but depending on other circumstances the resolution of this legal issue may differ from case to case. The thesis is divided into four parts, which are further subdivided into chapters and subchapters. The first part presents the theoretical background of the institute of acquisition from a non-entitled person, as it describes the superordinate terms into which it is usually classified or is part of them respectively. In this part, therefore, the rights in rem and the right of ownership are conceptually defined. This part concludes with an analysis of...

The institute of acquisitive prescription - selected perspectives (a comparison of Czech and German legal regulation and ideational aspects)
Ragužová, Nicole ; Hendrychová, Michaela (advisor) ; Šustek, Petr (referee)
Zusammenfassung Diese Diplomarbeit behandelt das traditionelle römischrechtliche Institut der Ersitzung und dessen heutige Regelung im tschechischen und deutschen Recht. Der Schwerpunkt liegt in den unterschiedlichen ideologischen Auffassungen beider Regelungen desselben Rechtsinstituts und dessen Wurzeln im römischen Recht. Für die tschechische Rechtsregelung und Rechtswissenschaft bildet das gültige österreichische bürgerliche Gesetzbuch ABGB, das bis zum Jahre 1950 der tschechoslowakische Zivilkodex war, die wichtigste Inspirationsquelle. Deswegen wird auch dem österreichischen ABGB beträchtlicher Raum gegeben. Das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit ist der Vergleich der unterschiedlichen Wertungsauffassungen in der deutschen und tschechischen Rechtswissenschaft, die die Voraussetzungen und Rechtsfolgen der Ersitzung auf vielen Ebenen beeinflussen. Im Interessenmittelpunkt stehen Streitfragen der Ersitzung und der Vergleich von deren Lösungen in beiden Rechtsordnungen unter Berücksichtigung sowohl der tschechischen Zivilistik der ersten Republik als auch der römischrechtlichen Zivilistik. Systematisch werden in der Arbeit die Regelungen der Ersitzung im römischen, deutschen und tschechischen Recht getrennt behandelt. Der erste Teil der Arbeit fasst die römischrechtliche Regelung zusammen, die in den folgenden...

Pre-contract liability (culpa in contrahendo)
Obstová, Martina ; Čech, Petr (advisor) ; Horáček, Tomáš (referee)
Formation of a contract is nowadays more sophisticated than it formerly used to be due to major progress in communication technologies and technical development, and therefore, looking on negotiation process only through the notions of offer and acceptance alone appears to be somewhat insufficient. It is not unusual and infrequent that long term and complicated dealings take place prior to the conclusion of a contract, especially in more or less complex business matters. During various negotiation stages, many parties may incur different kinds of significant expenses in order to prepare well for the next phase of the negotiations and, eventually, for the targeted contractual performance. For the conclusion of a contract it may also be necessary to inform the other party about the terms and conditions which are essential for the first party's final decision about the contract, while some of this information might be considered as strictly confidential. Although the fundamental principle of contractual freedom allows the parties to act freely in negotiations and the contractual process is generally regarded as a non-binding relationship, there are some restrictions set up with the aim to protect good faith of the parties and support their fair dealings. According to the abovementioned, a situation...

The institution of pre-contract liability in theory and practice
Kraus, Radek ; Elischer, David (advisor) ; Dvořák, Jan (referee)
Diese Arbeit behandelt das Thema "Rechtsinstitut der vorvertraglichen Haftung in Theorie und Praxis". Die ganze Arbeit ist in drei Teile gegliedert und zwar "Der Begriff der Vorvertraglichen Haftung", "Die Komparative Analyse der ausländischen Rechtsordnungen" und "Das tschechische Konzept der vorvertraglichen Haftung". Das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit ist, die praktischen Aspekte der vorvertraglichen Haftung zu beschreiben, was aber ohne ausreichende theoretische Grundlagen unmöglich ist. Die Doktrin culpa in contrahendo (Verschulden beim Vertragsabschluss) wird Rudolph von Jhering zugeschrieben, denn er hat im Jahre 1861 als erstes die charakteristischen Züge der vorvertraglichen Obligationen beschrieben. Der Autor ordnet in dem ersten Teil dieser Arbeit noch die vorvertragliche Haftung in das Rechtssystem ein. Die zum Teil von dem Autor entworfene Definition dient dann in dem zweiten und dritten Teil zu dem einfacheren Vergleich der Konzepte von vorvertraglicher Haftung in verschiedenen Rechtsordnungen. In dem zweiten Teil wird zuerst das deutsche Konzept der culpa in contrahendo beschrieben, wie es sich von R. von Jhering über die Schuldrechtsmodernisierung bis zum heutigen Tag entwickelt hat. Die Entwicklung der deutschen Auffassung der vorvertraglichen Haftung von der materiellen zur formalen...

Unjust Enrichment under English and Czech Law
Škvareková, Gabriela ; Elischer, David (advisor) ; Dvořák, Jan (referee)
1 ABSTRACT UNJUST ENRICHMENT UNDER ENGLISH AND CZECH LAW The topic of presented thesis is "Unjust Enrichment under English and Czech Law". It aims to provide a comprehensive analysis and comparison of legal rules governing unjust enrichment in English and Czech law. The thesis is systematically divided into four principal chapters which are further subdivided. The first chapter presents an introduction to unjust enrichment. It provides a brief historical overview and a description of legal nature of unjust enrichment. It also aims to bring a basic comparison of the common law system and the civil law system to which English law and Czech law belong. Unjust enrichment on the European level is analysed in the second chapter. Two chosen soft law instruments of the European private law are presented here, namely Draft Common Frame of Reference and Principles of European Law of Unjust Enrichment, which set forth non-binding rules for the functioning of unjust enrichment. The third chapter is focused on the English law of unjust enrichment. It primarily brings the analysis of the requirements of unjust enrichment under English law. These requirements, which are based on the case law of the English courts, are as follows: (1) benefit, (2) at the claimant's expense, (3) unjust factor, and (4) lack of defence....

A comparison of pre-contractual liability in Czech and Common Law
Nováková, Tereza ; Horáček, Vít (advisor) ; Liška, Petr (referee)
The purpose of my thesis is to consider the importance of culpa in contrahendo which does not have a long tradition in the Czech law. However, since the 1 January 2014 it has become enshrined the Czech legal system. The instrument of culpa in contrahendo is connected with the need to protect the good faith of the parties to a contract which is an essential principle of modern contract law, particularly in continental legal systems. Despite the lack of the general duty to act in good faith while negotiating contracts in common law systems, we can see that English or American judges solve the practical problems resulting from dishonesty of one party to the contract through equitable principles such as misrepresentation or promissory estoppel. The importance of protecting good faith is visible even from international contract law documents that are important for the interpretation of national law. Chapter One contains the explanation of culpa in contrahendo as a practical instrument and I distinguish it from pre-contractual liability in the anglo-american legal systems. Despite the differences of the continental and common law systems of law, I consider, on the basis of the laws and court decision analysis, whether the Czech courts, in deciding the pre-contractual liability cases, are getting closer...

Main Principles and Elements of Roman Procedural Law
Škeříková, Jana ; Skřejpek, Michal (advisor) ; Blaho, Peter (referee) ; Židlická, Michaela (referee)
My doctoral thesis is focused on the main principles and elements of Roman procedural law. However, during my research I realised the terms are very similar. One of the main points of my thesis is dedicated to the constitutional system of Roman republic and its norms, including the very important law codex, the Twelve Tables Law. Moreover, I take the Justinian Codification of Roman law into focus. A very important source is also antique literature, texts of prominent lawyers and various types of administrative acts. A vast inspiration can be found in many European museums. The main principles and elements are applicable to actions, defendants and plaintiffs, to judicial hearing and to the days when judicial hearings could be held. I focus on principle of equity, good faith, and necessity of defense, res judicata, principle of appellation, pecuniary condemnation, and principle of assessment of evidence. The last chapter reviews other principles. It is also important to mention that different types of procedural cases are specific in their own way. I focused on describing the differences as well. My thesis analyzes seven most important principles. The first and the most important one is equity. My research shows that this principle is common to all areas of roman procedural law. I tried to explain...
