Status of governing body of business corporation in liquidation
Mach, Jaroslav ; Josková, Lucie (advisor) ; Hurychová, Klára (referee)
Status of governing body of business corporation in liquidation Abstract The frequency of cases of business corporations in liquidation has an increasing trend, however, it cannot be said that the academic interest would sufficiently cover the topic of liquidations. There are still a number of insufficiently answered questions that lead to completely opposite conclusions in practice. This diploma thesis deals with one such issue, which is the position of the statutory body of a business corporation in liquidation. In the ranks of the professional community, one can also encounter certain doubts about the existence of the statutory body of a business corporation in liquidation, that the statutory body should cease to exist. This paper seeks to answer this question through a critical analysis of legal regulations and compilations of works by the professional community. At the beginning the work briefly defines the individual terms in the first chapter for the needs of this work in order to maintain the conceptual unity. The terms are business corporation, statutory body, liquidation and its purpose and, last but not least, the liquidator. First, however, the question of the existence of the statutory body of a business corporation in liquidation must be resolved. Here, I conclude, by means of a critical...

Jehovah's Witnesses - the Development of Selected Doctrines
Velechovský, Petr ; Bartoň, Josef (advisor) ; Větrovec, Pavel (referee)
The Jehovah's Witnesses and the company Watchtower are quite known to the public. Since the foundation of the Jehovah's Witnesses, thousands of articles in the press tried, less or more successfully, to describe their history. When we come out of the perspective, that they publish only truth about themselves, we would have to conclude, that they are the best religious organization on the world. Since 1998 I have published many articles intentionally dedicated to the issues of Jehovah's Witnesses and other new religious movements in these journals: Dingir - religionistic journal about current religious scene, Rozmer - a journal for Christian spiritual orientation, and Sects and Facts. I also refuted the errors and mistakes published by others about their organization. The aim was to publish truthful information that is not commonly available to their members and the public. In the era of the internet and digitalized archives it would seem that it's no longer needed. Various information can be found on the internet, but they are valuable only when properly verified and, if possible, taken from primary sources. That's why it's necessary to have the critical view on the teachings of the Witnesses and objectively evaluate the danger that comes from their teachings to the believers and unbelievers. The...

Liability of governing bodies of limited companies
Vitha, Petr ; Patěk, Daniel (advisor) ; Josková, Lucie (referee)
- Liability of governing bodies of limited companies The thesis deals with the liability of governing bodies of limited companies in the light of the recodification of private law. The given topic is becoming increasingly acute in the Czech legal environment, especially with regard to the codification of due diligence and the business judgment rule in the basic acts of private law, namely the Civil Code and the Business Corporations Act. The aim of this work is to provide a comprehensive insight into the problems of the concept of liability within the Civil Code and a view into the Business Corporations Act and the ensuing liability of governing bodies of limited companies. In the first chapter of this thesis, various key concepts, which are used and elaborated throughout this paper, are analyzed and defined. The concept of liability is analyzed in terms of a historical perspective - both from the so-called prospective and retrospective conception to the conception contained in the Civil Code. The concept of a statutory body (governing body) is analyzed both in terms of rules contained in the Civil Code and in terms of the different specificities of the Business Corporations Act including the analysis of directors of a limited company and the board of directors of a joint-stock company. The second...
