Legal capacity of minors in comparison with German Law
Ćwierzová, Simona ; Hendrychová, Michaela (advisor) ; Šustek, Petr (referee)
This thesis focuses on legal capacity of minors. Maturity of a person depends on his or her age and the development of a personality is consecutive, therefore each legal system must deal with a question how to incorporate a capacity of minors (going through this development) to cause legal effects with own acts. These persons need a higher degree of protection and a different intensity of control or surveillance. Based on general description of several theoretical approaches to the issue the solution chosen in the Czech Republic and in Germany is being closely analyzed. The text of this thesis is divided into five chapters. Firstly, the Czech legislation concerning the issue is being explained. In the first chapter all the basic terms are defined and also the system of legislation regarding legal capacity is shortly outlined. The second chapter includes detailed analysis of legislation concerning legal capacity of minors. The basic criterion for assessment of capacity to cause legal effects with own acts is intellectual and volitional maturity. This criterion is complemented with special cases of a minor acting with consent of his legal representative, operation of business and performance of dependent work. The thesis also mentions acquisition of full legal capacity before reaching the age of majority...

Restriction of legal capacity proceedings
Krejčí, Zuzana ; Kubešová, Silvia (advisor) ; Frintová, Dita (referee)
This diploma thesis primarily deals with the legal frame of the restriction of legal capacity proceedings, which is contained in the Code on Special Court Proceedings (Act. No. 292/2013 Sb.) effective from 1. 1. 2014. For that purpose the thesis works with particular legal institutions of substantive law contained in the Civil Code (Act No. 89/2012 Sb.), such as legal capacity (a capacity to make juridical acts) and its restriction. The thesis is focused especially on the course of the proceedings resulting in the decision to restrict legal capacity or to accept any other appropriate measures. The author also describes two particular aspects of the proceedings, which are the duty of the court to see an individual whose legal capacity is subject to the consideration and the possible ways to make a decision by which the legal capacity is restricted. The aims of the thesis are to describe legal regulation of the restriction of legal capacity proceedings, previous and recent case law dealing with this issue and to evaluate their influence on the individuals whose legal capacity has been restricted. The author also seeks to propose a possible solution to the problems related to the restriction of legal capacity proceedings. The diploma thesis is divided into 4 main chapters.

Legal capacity proceedings
Machová, Miroslava ; Frintová, Dita (advisor) ; Kubešová, Silvia (referee)
This thesis examines legal capacity and its restriction. The legal capacity of a person makes along with his legal personality an inherent and inalienable component of his personality that enables him to act legally. It is therefore a prerequisite of his self-realization and active participation in society. Legal capacity and legal personality are components so significant, that they cannot be relinquished. Not even partially. Unlike legal personality, a person's legal capacity can be restricted by a court order. And it is the very legal capacity proceeding, this thesis focuses on. In view of the fact, that procedural law is reflected in substantive law, part of this thesis also concerns with the analysis of legislation contained within the Civil Code (Act. No. 89/2012 Coll.). The thesis thoroughly analyses individual stages of a legal capacity proceeding and the subsequent legal provisions and court decisions. The thesis is divided into two parts and eight chapters. The first part discusses substantive regulations of legal capacity. In the introduction to the first chapter, I draw attention to an alteration in legal terminology and a new conception of legal capacity restriction according to the legal regulation that came into force on the 1st of January 2014. Subsequently I define the concept of...

Practical Implications of Restrictions on Legal Capacity in Terms of Public Guardians
ANDĚLOVÁ, Miroslava
This diploma thesis provides an insight into the issue of public guardianship in the Czech Republic from the point of view of public guardians, who in practice have to face a lot of problems in connection with the new legislation. The work is divided into several parts. The theoretical part consists of nine subchapters which define the basic concepts used in guardianship, mentioned in the Act No. 89/2012 Coll., The Civil Code, which deal with the basic principles and history of guardianship, the development of legal regulation of the guardianship institute and the legislative framework of guardianship. It also provides more detailed information on the Institute of Limitation of Authenticity and Guardianship, a public guardian, and the last subchapter focuses on enumerating the mental disorders that a public guardian may encounter with their clients. The empirical part defines objectives, methods of research and own results, which are illustrated and described in tables, discussion and in the final summary. The main objective of the work was to map the activities of public guardians in relation to persons with limited authority, the partial aims were to find out how the public guardians were looking at legislative changes in the area of limiting the authority and to identify the risk areas associated with the limitation of the authority. These research objectives have been addressed: In what areas are the public guardians working in relation to persons with limited authority? What experience does a public guardian have with the absence of information on the limitation of the person's authenticity in the ID? What are the precautionary measures in relation to persons with limited authority from the point of view of public guardians? The diploma thesis was processed by the method of qualitative research using the semi-structured interview technique and the open coding method was used to evaluate the data. The research group consisted of seven social workers who work on municipalities in the South Bohemian Region and act as a public guardian. The research survey highlighted the complexity, importance and necessity of the work of the public guardian and the problems associated with it, where there is a lack of specific legislation and a more detailed methodology in this area. The research also shows that public guardians do not always have good experience with the new legislation, especially the lack of evidence of the limitation of the authenticity of the caretaker's identity card is a problem in practice, and the new institute of supportive measures is not used too much. This diploma thesis could serve as a comprehensive information material for the general public as well as for the members of the public caregiver in the municipalities.

The Legal Capacity and Guardianship from the Perspective of Clients and Professionals.
BOROVSKÁ, Kateřina
The topic I have chosen for my thesis is Guardianship and Legal capacity from the points of view of both clients and professional public. This thesis is divided into a theoretical and a research part. The theoretical part of the thesis presents information on legal capacity, guardianship and also on the person of the guardian. A relatively large space is devoted to guardianship, thus the theoretical part includes information on, among other, appointing and selecting a guardian as well as on the guardian´s rights and obligations and surveillance of the guardian. The thesis also mentions other selected institutes of the Civil Code that can be of assistance to persons with mental disabilities, without limiting their legal capacity. Another topic of importance dealt with in the theoretical part is human rights, both in the sense of general sources of human rights and the sources of rights of persons with intellectual disabilities. Furthermore, the theoretical part of the thesis gives a brief overview of characteristics of persons with mental disabilities and the etiology of mental disability. The research part states findings of the research that was conducted by the strategy of qualitative research. The method of data collection was interrogations and semi-structured interviews. The research group included people with mental disabilities limited in their legal capacities as well as representatives of professional public who are in some way involved in the guardianship institute and who deal with this issue in their work on a daily basis. The main aim of the thesis was to find out how clients with intellectual disabilities and representatives of the professional public perceive guardianship and related issues. In addition, conducted research investigated whether clients know what role the guardian plays in their lives and whether they know their rights and obligations. Last but not least, the views of the professional public on the role of guardian in the client's life and also the experience of the professional public with the application of selected rights and obligations of clients were looked into. Results of the survey have given base to understanding how clients and the professional public perceive guardianship, what their views of rights and obligations of clients and guardians are, how demanding they find to be a guardian and last but not least, what role a guardian should play in their ward´s life.
