Kuckirová, Natalia ; Horáček, Vít (advisor) ; Eichlerová, Kateřina (referee)
- Competitor's Dominant Position and Its Abuse in the Czech and European Law The aim of this thesis is to identify and analyze issues of market dominance and its abuse as one of the most important areas of the competition law. An indispensable part of every analysis of such abuse is also a definition and assessment of the relevant market which we will deal with in a separate section of this thesis. The issue of abuse of a dominant position is analyzed with the help of the competition rules and the judicial practice of the competent authorities, both at the community and national level. First chapters are designed as an introduction to the issue of dominance, offering readers a better understanding of often ambiguous approach to competition law, its restrictions and distortions. We will also be dealing with related terms such as the competitor, the company and their mutual interchangeability. Special attention will be paid to the introduction and further analysis of the relevant market, where the correct definition is the basis for the assessment of any competition case. The issue of relevant market is demonstrated on particular examples, especially on the current case of Student Agency, where the mode of defining the relevant market also decides the final outcome of the case with respect to the...

Collective dominance in competition law and its abuse
Kolarczyková, Eva ; Boháček, Martin (advisor) ; Levý, Jan (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is a comprehensive analysis of the concept of collective dominance, in particular with reference to the evaluation of its applicability and utility in practice. The first chapter deals with the main features of the oligopoly market and Czech and European legal provisions on the abuse of a dominant position and mergers within which it has evolved. On base of the analysis of Court of Justice and General Court judgements the second chapter explains the notion of the collective dominance and examines the obligatory conditions of the collective dominance, as well as the factors which influence these conditions. The third chapter concerns the concept of collective dominance with regard to competition law taxonomy. It compares not only the test of collective dominance applied pursuant to the article 102 TFEU with the test applied according to the Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings, but also the concept of collective dominance with the agreements pursuant to the article 101 TFEU. It also deals with abusive practices typical for oligopolies. Beside the explanation of the UK legislation the last two chapters illustrate decisions of competition authorities in the Czech Republic and in the United Kingdom and analyse and compare them. The diploma thesis is concluded by the analysis of main shortcomings of the concept of collective dominance and the evaluation of actual state of the examined topic with the aim to abstractly summarize knowledge gained through the thesis.

Žáčková, Soňa ; Boháček, Martin (advisor) ; Malířská, Zuzana (referee)
Diplomová práce se zaměřuje na kolektivní dominanci v soutěžním právu. Charakterizuje prameny právní úpravy a vývoj pojmu kolektivní dominance jako takového. Dále se zabývá srovnáním kolektivní dominance s jednáním ve vzájemné shodě. Jako nejdůležitější pramen kolektivní dominance identifikuje judikaturu (především na evropské úrovni), jejíž analýze je věnována značná pozornost. V závěru shrnuje důsledky vývoje judikatury na vývoj konceptu kolektivní dominance se zaměřením na praktickou stránku ? zda je či není nutné při prokazování kolektivní dominance prokázat existenci ekonomických vazeb mezi soutěžiteli.

Dohody narušující soutěž v právu ES
Brixiová, Tamara ; Boháček, Martin (advisor) ; Vozáb, Jakub (referee)
Diplomová práce se specializuje na jednání ve vzájemné shodě.Poukazuje na odlišnosti ve vymezení základních pojmů v českém a evropském pojetí a snaží se tak osvětlit nutnost harmonizace české úpravy s úpravou komunitární.Problém nachází zejména ve vymezení pojmu podnik, jehož pojetí je v ZOHS naprosto odlišné od pojetí podniku jakožto single economic unit v právu evropském.I přes tyto odlišnosti však práce považuje základní znaky jednání ve shodě za v podstatě shodné v českém i evropském právu.Zabývá se rovněž odlišením nezákonné výměny informací, jež je podstatou jednání ve shodě, od situací, kdy takováto výměna může být žádoucí. Pozornost věnuje i kolektivní dominanci a dovolenému paralelnímu chování, které je v souladu se zákonem.V závěru volá po nutnosti harmonizace české úpravy s úpravou evropskou s ohledem na rozpor se zásadou rovného zacházení.
