Trusts in private international law
Kočí, David ; Pfeiffer, Magdalena (referee)
114 TRUSTS IN PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW ABSTRACT This thesis aims to expound and analyse the trust legislation in the context of International Private Law as well as to describe its key features in Czech Private Law for particular purposes. The first chapter summarizes the development of trust and description of its historical forms. The second chapter is dedicated to the thorough description of Czech substantive law on trusts governed by the Civil Code and the legislation contained in Act on the Public Registers of Legal and Natural Persons and on the Register of Trusts and Act on the Register of Beneficial Owners. Slight deficiencies have been encountered in national legislation, for instance, the incompatibility of Act on the Register of Beneficial Owners, Act governing private international law, and Act on the Public Registers of Legal and Natural Persons and on the Register of Trusts when it comes to foreign trusts or the unsatisfactory regulation of the administration of trusts by legal persons. The third chapter, devoted to the Private International Law, not only interprets the statutory provisions contained in the Act on Private International Law but also analyses the European Private International Law and the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on their Recognition from 1985.

Liška, Dominik ; Bříza, Petr (advisor) ; Růžička, Květoslav (referee)
Law Governing the Arbitration Agreement and Other Laws in International Commercial Arbitration Abstract The thesis aspires to create a structured overview of the four legal systems that are applicable in the international commercial arbitration. Namely (i) the substantive law of the contract - lex contractus; (ii) the "procedural" law of the arbitration agreement - lex arbitri; (iii) procedural rules agreed between the parties either ad hoc or by reference to institutional arbitration rules; and (iv) the substantive law of the arbitration agreement also called the law governing the arbitration agreement. In pursuing its aims, the thesis focuses on interaction between each of these legal systems as well as on the questions, that has not yet been settled. Each chapter further analyses different approaches to determine applicable law in the absence of a choice made by the parties. Such an analysis is important to properly understand the methods used in determining the law governing the arbitration agreement, because they are interconnected. On the basis of the overview presented in first chapters, the thesis focuses on detailed inquiry of the law governing the arbitration agreement, whose scope and applicable choice of law is still a matter of discussion. Therefore, the fifth chapter plays a central role in...

Marriage in private international law
Vaníčková, Martina ; Zavadilová, Marta (advisor) ; Pfeiffer, Magdalena (referee)
In the current globalized world with its high level of international migration, international marriage is not something uncommon. As a result of population migration, for example, the marriage of two persons of different nationalities occurs. This thesis defines matrimonial law in the context of private international law. It offers an insight into the conflict of laws surrounding the issues of marriage with an international element, defining the form in which the international element can arise in international matrimonial law. National, EU and international legislation is taken into account when dealing with the issues surrounding conflict of laws. In addition to the introduction and conclusion, the thesis is divided into six chapters. The first three chapters contain the theoretical aspects, which is crucial for understanding the topic of the thesis. The remaining three chapters deal with specific institutions within matrimonial law. The first chapter defines the concepts of marriage, private international law, and marriage in the context of private international law, which includes a brief look at the historical development of this branch of law. The second chapter focuses on an overview of the sources of legislation at the national, EU and international level, including their interrelationship....

Labour relations with international element and their content changes over time
Kratochvílová, Eva ; Hůrka, Petr (referee)
In her PhD thesis, the author deals with the legal regulation of the international element in labour relations which is supplemented by the dimension of the regulation of the social security and the protection of personal data in order to create a complex view of the examined issue. The international element within the respective legal branches is regulated at the EU level by a different methodology approach - harmonization (labour law), coordination (social security law) and unification (protection of personal data). The fundamental role in the regulation of the international element in labour relations is played by EU legislation, especially the Regulations Rome I, Rome II and Brussels I (bis), which is complemented by the legal regulation of the international element in labour law relations within the Czech law system. The international element in social security law is governed by Coordination Regulations Nos. 883/2004 and 957/2009, the Czech legislation does not contain, in this respect, its own legal regulation of an international element and refers to the EU regulation. In the area of personal data protection, the harmonization legislation of Directive No. 95/46/EC and Czech Act No. 101/2000 Coll., on Data Protection, will be replaced as of 25.05.2018 by the GDPR Regulation. The EU...

Rules of Conflict of Laws in the Israeli Law
Pezl, Tomáš ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Pfeiffer, Magdalena (referee) ; Bělohlávek, Alexander (referee)
The submitted dissertation is exploring the rules of conflict-of-laws in the Israeli legal system. It does not only cover the rules of private international law but also inter-religious rules of conflict-of-laws. There is a special focus on religious legal systems, especially on Jewish law and its rules. The religious law in Israel does regulate rights of the personal status and therefore it imminent that conflicts between various religious legal systems as well as between religious and state law may occur. The thesis, in the beginning, tries to cover the development of Israeli law since the Ottoman times directly preceding the establishment of the British mandate over Palestine. Keywords: Israel, conflict-of-laws, Jewish law

Application of Choice of Law Rules
Žaloudek, Václav ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Ondřej, Jan (referee) ; Müller, Milan (referee)
The present dissertation deals with selected questions arising in the course of the application of choice of law rules and of the foreign law designated on the basis thereof. In this context, the dissertation analyzes general issues connected to the selected questions and then compares the possible solutions as implemented in Czech law, EU law and in selected foreign laws. As far as Czech law is concerned, attention is also paid to its historical development; the same is true about some of the foreign laws discussed in the dissertation. The dissertation focuses on selected wording and interpretation difficulties that used to arise and still arise in the context of particular legal instruments. First, two basic hypotheses are set out; their verification is one of the aims of the dissertation. The first is the question of whether the doctrine of choice of law rules represents a self- contained and self-sufficient system that - at least on a theoretical level - offers answers to all questions arising in the context of the application of choice of law rules. The second is the question of whether the concept of a bilateral choice of law rule, as commonly implemented today, facilitates international private law interaction and is - at least on a general level - a suitable way of governing international private...
