Piercing the Corporate Veil - Selected Issues in International Comparison
Kostohryz, Milan
Milan Kostohryz Piercing the Corporate Veil - Selected Issues in International Comparison Abstract The main purpose of the thesis is to give recommendation for possible application of the piercing doctrine in the Czech Republic.

The thesis starts with some terminological issues; it introduces the possible Czech equivalents of the notion "piercing the corporate veil" and explains that it can have slightly different meaning depending on the individual author.

Also some special forms of piercing (reverse piercing, lateral piercing and insider piercing) are introduced. The third chapter analyses the relationship between the piercing doctrine and the principles of limited liability and separate legal personality. In particular it...

The limited liability of the nuclear power plant operators in the european context
Sobotka, Ladislav ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
This thesis focuses on the harmonization of the limited nuclear liability on the european level. The current situation can be characterized with generally low liability limits and different conditions for nuclear energy in the Member States. Such a situations has its consequences in terms of uncertainity about the compenstion of the victims and deformation of the nuclear power market. The first part of the thesis focuses on the development of the european energetic policy and subsequently it strives to answer what elements of the nuclear liability regime are optimal, what are the benefits of the harmonisation on the EU level and what is a realistic way of implementation. The attention is also paid to the obstacles of the whole process.
