The purpose of my thesis is to provide a comprehensive analysis aimed at creditor's rights and duties during insolvency proceedings, with a special attention focused on selected topics. One of my goals is to highlight the big progress of creditors achieved with the new legal regulation. I also concern myself with those provisions of The Insolvency Act, which from my perspective offer an ambiguous interpretation. Therefore application of these provisions may cause problematic situation difficult to be resolved. The thesis is structured into seven chapters.

We find there also a brief historical overview of insolvency in Czech Republic as well as general aspects of replacing The Act No. 328/1991 Coll., on bankruptcy and settlement (The Bankruptcy and Settlement Act) with a new Insolvency Act.

Discharge of a debtor - one of modes of insolvency solution
Polák, Marek ; Smolík, Petr (advisor) ; Zoulík, František (referee)
The legal enactment No. 182/2006 Sb., Insolvency Act that came into force on January 1st 2008 introduced the new concept of Discharge of Debts in the Czech Law system. This mode of solution is intended solely for non-entrepreneurs (this institute cannot be used for companies or individual entrepreneurs). Personal bankruptcies account for the majority of insolvency proceedings in the territory of the Czech Republic and it can be assumed that this long-lasting trend will continue to grow. The institute of Discharge of Debts gives consumers an effective opportunity to legally get rid of their debts through one of two ways, namely repayment schedule and sale of the debtor's assets, and start again with a clean slate as an active member of the Economic Society. The aim of this thesis is to give a comprehensive analysis of the institute of Discharge of Debts, from defining the causes that lead to bankruptcy, interpretation of basic concepts, to the description of the necessary proceedings leading to the declaration of bankruptcy, process of Discharge of Debts itself and differences of its two basic ways. This theoretical basis is supplemented by my knowledge that I have gained during my internship in a law office, which also performs the function of insolvency trustee. The thesis is composed of eight...

Determinants of Claims Satisfaction in Insolvency Proceedings in the Czech Republic
Pařízek, Petr ; Skuhrovec, Jiří (advisor) ; Luňáčková, Petra (referee)
This paper examines determinants of creditors' claims satisfaction in insolvency proceedings in the Czech Republic. To our knowledge, it is the first research to such extent in the Czech Republic covering this field. Combining microdata from Insolvency Register, Business Register, Ministry of Finance and other sources, we construct a unique dataset of more than 2,600 cases. We identify several basic determinants of satisfaction: a higher share of secured claims, real estate and cash in assets of a company, submission of financial statements into Business Register, selling the business as a whole within the proceedings, and entrepreneur cases. We find no such effect for the audit of financial statements or for the age of a company. Moreover, we search for other indicators that may result in the lower satisfaction of claims, out of which five are statistically significant: a homeless person in statutory body, registered office at a firm nest, being listed as unreliable VAT payer, a connection to persons that have multiple records in Insolvency Register and a substantial increase in depreciation in the period between the last two submitted financial statements. In contradiction to the bankruptcy prediction literature, we show that the financial data are unreliable for predicting the outcome of insolvency...
