Arbitration clauses in cunsumer affairs with impact on execution proceeding
Nováková, Michaela ; Pohl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Smolík, Petr (referee)
Arbitration clauses in cunsumer affairs with impact on execution proceeding Abstract Arbitration is one of the forms of alternative dispute resolution. The arbitration institute is not a novice in the area of law. Its foundations can be seen from ancient times. However, today's legal regulation of arbitration can be observed since the first half of the 19th century. The essence of the arbitration procedure is to delegate the hearing and decision-making of certain disputes to the jurisdiction of the courts, to the arbitrator. The arbitrator then issues an arbitration award, which may be relied upon in the proceedings in which he was issued as an enforcement or enforceable title. In the legal order of the Czech Republic we find the primary regulation of the arbitration procedure in Act No. 216/1994 Sb. By passing this Act, the arbitration procedure was extended to national disputes. As a result of arbitration proceedings, disputes arising from consumer contracts could also be resolved. However, the method of resolving disputes between consumers and entrepreneurs has proved to be a widely used institute, even when overused and misused. The situation was so extreme that the lawmaker had to come up with a bill amendment to strengthen consumer protection in arbitration. Not only the legislative power, but also...

Cibulková, Kristýna ; Pfeiffer, Magdalena (advisor) ; Růžička, Květoslav (referee)
The thesis is aimed at the prorogation and arbitration clauses in international trade. Its aim is to analyse the legal regulation of the clauses and requirements for them using the help of legislation, case law and both Czech and foreign relevant literature. In addition to the introduction and the conclusion of the thesis, there are eleven chapters analysing the issue. The first chapter deals with dispute resolution in international trade, and introduces prorogation and arbitration clauses as instruments by which the parties can determine how and by whom will the dispute between them be decided. Chapters two to six deal with prorogation clauses. First of all, sources of legal regulation of prorogation clauses are analysed. Further, the thesis analyses the formal requirements for the clauses and also the possibility of incorporating the clause into a contract from another document. There are also discussed some other features of the prorogation clauses, namely the certainty of the chosen court, the separability of the clause, the exclusivity of the clause, and the effect of provisions protecting the weaker party under the Brussels I bis regulation The following chapters seven to ten deal with arbitration clauses. Again, sources of legal regulation of arbitration clauses and arbitration proceedings...

Domestic arbitration proceedings in Czech Republic
Dušek, Lukáš ; Winterová, Alena (advisor) ; Smolík, Petr (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with domestic arbitration proceedings in the Czech Republic. The topic has been chosen by the author because the arbitration could have a big potential as it is a mechanism which is well adaptable to individual needs of parties. During last few years it has became evident that the arbitration is being abused by some subjects and the substantive law protection of some subject is circumvented by arbitration. Thus, the reputation of arbitration has been damaged. The aim of the thesis is to examine eventual limits of application of domestic arbitration, the possibilities of abusing it and law tools aiming to protect against the abusing. In the introduction the author's opinion is introduced stating why the domestic arbitration is different from international arbitration. The author notes that the traditional mechanism of domestic dispute resolution is court proceedings. The same could not be said about international dispute resolution. Furthermore, the author argues that in international relations there is applied wider autonomy of will of the parties than in domestic relations. Also the bodies acting in international arbitration have significantly better reputation and credibility. There are also not differences between various law orders in domestic relations and the consumer...
