Simultaneous performance of employment and directionship
Tomšej, Jakub ; Čech, Petr (advisor) ; Štenglová, Ivanka (referee)
The objective of this thesis is to analyse implications of simultaneous performance of directorship and employment. The division of the relationship between a company and its manager into two different legal relations, governed by different fields of law (employment and commercial law) is a common practice in the Czech business environment. Despite of this, it is contrary to the Czech Supreme Court case law. Therefore, my research is aimed at verifying the "no simultaneous performance of functions" principle and summarising its legal and practical implications. Another goal of the paper is to analyse the contemplated bill to amend the Commercial Code which is currently subject to political discussions at the Lower Chamber of the Czech Parliament as well as to investigate its implications for the subjects of law. The thesis consists of three chapters, which do correspond to the main goals of the thesis, as stipulated in the Introduction. Chapter One is introductory and defines legal instruments that are material for the conclusions of the thesis. It summarises main legal differences between employment and directorship. Chapter Two is divided into five parts, each of them approaching the "no simultaneous performance of functions" principle from a different viewpoint. The first part examines relevant Czech...

Kianková, Lucie ; Tomášek, Petr (advisor) ; Josková, Lucie (referee)
Service contract for the managing director of a limited liability company Abstract The aim of this thesis is to identify the methods of remuneration of the managing director for the performance of his function and the related application problems of the applicable legislation. The thesis also analyses the situations in which labour law regulations shall apply to the relationship between the managing director and the limited liability company, as well as the methods of terminating a service contract. The thesis is based on the applicable Czech legislation de lege lata. In some parts, however, de lege ferenda considerations are also included. The thesis also analyzes a new legal regulation becoming effective on January 1, 2021. This thesis presupposes an earlier knowledge of elementary concepts related to the issue of a service contract for the managing director and legal institutes related to the subject matter in hand. Thus, the thesis intentionally does not analyze the elementary institutes in detail and does not provide their detailed definitions, but it focuses on their enrichment with relevant case law, more detailed specifications in terms of practical situations and its own analysis. This is the case especially in the second chapter, and the description of the service contract itself. This chapter is...

Concurrence of membership in the governing body of a limited company and employment in the same company
Liška, Štěpán ; Čech, Petr (advisor) ; Eichlerová, Kateřina (referee)
Concurrence of membership in the governing body of a limited company and employment in the same company The purpose of this master thesis is to provide comprehensive answer to the question of the admissibility of the concurrence of the function of a member of the statutory body of a capital trading company and employment relationship with the same company (concurrence of functions), especially with regard to the change of legislation brought by the recodification of private law effective from 2014. With the concurrence of functions, it is necessary to distinguish between situations where the subject of the employment relationship are actions falling within the competence of the statutory body (identical concurrence) and when the subject of the employment relationship are other actions (non-identical concurrence). The question of the concurrence of functions is a frequently discussed topic. That is mainly for the reason that many companies have established relationships with members of their statutory body in this manner. The area of the concurrence of functions was in the past and still is insufficiently statutory regulated. Most of the rules in this area are, therefore, inferred by case-law. The thesis is divided into six chapters. In the first part of the thesis, the basic theoretical concepts...

The legal status of a board of directors’ member in a joint stock company after the recodification
Košařová, Dita ; Moravec, Tomáš (advisor) ; Andreisová, Lucie (referee)
New legal regulation of the private law contained in the New Civil Code and the Business Corporations Act has brought plenty of changes also in the status of a board of directors' member in a joint stock company. Both codes have brought new terminology, new institutes and clarification of the rules known from the legal regulation before the recodification. On one hand there is certain loosening in the decision making of statutory bodies of business corporations, on the other hand there is tightening of sanctions for cases of failure. This diploma thesis introduces major institutes of legal regulation related to the status of a board of directors' member and provides a basic comparison with the legal regulation before the recodification.
