Košňar, Václav ; Pelc, Vladimír (advisor) ; Hořák, Jaromír (referee)
Criminal proceedings against legal entities Abstract Regarding the character of a legal entity as a fiction, criminal proceedings against legal entities differ in many ways in comparison with standard criminal proceedings against a natural person. The aim of this work is to analyze certain specific institutes, whose interpretation and application is problematic with respect to the interweaving of the procedural regulation contained in Act No. 418/2011 Coll. on penal liability of legal entities and proceedings against them, with the classic regulation contained in the Criminal Procedure Act. This thesis is divided into two main parts. The theoretical one, which serves as the introduction of the whole work, briefly discusses traditional topics related to the substance of penal liability of legal entities, i.e. reasons for its adoption, its concept, its sources and legislation, including their ongoing changes.

Jirounková, Kristýna ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
Substantiation of Electronic Evidence Abstract The author focuses on the possibility of "misuse" of data as electronic evidence in the thesis. She describes specifics of electronic evidence and she points out that current technologies are so advanced that they are able to track and map the lives of individuals. The author simulates the investigation of the crime of murder, based on the idea, that thanks to the daily stored data on digital activity of persons in conjunction with GPS data, the physical activity of persons can be proven. She seeks to investigate this crime regardless of the regulation of fundamental human rights and freedoms only by electronic evidence. Eventually she assesses the procedure in the light of legislation. Finally, the author deals with the issue of confidentiality obligations of attorneys at law in connection with the use of electronic devices for the performance of their activities and she points out specifics of search of premises, where attorneys at law perform advocacy.

Substantiation of Electronic Evidence
Klein, Jakub ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
Substantiation of Electronic Evidence Abstract This thesis addresses the procedural questions of securing and presenting electronic evidence in criminal proceedings. The use of modern devices and the subsequent creation of electronic evidence is very common, making it necessary for legislation as well as investigative, prosecuting and adjudicating bodies to set out an adequate framework for securing and producing such evidence. The thesis seeks to determine the limits of this framework with regard to the rights to a fair trial, privacy and secrecy of correspondence, as well as the principle of public authority interference minimization, keeping in mind that electronic evidence must be secured and produced in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code, the Constitution and enforceable international treaties, respecting the rights of individuals but also allowing criminal proceedings to reach their ultimate goal. The thesis first concentrates on traditional instruments of securing evidence, e.g. search warrants, seizure of an item, operative-search means or various types of wiretapping. These general findings are then applied to commonly used information technologies, such as emails, documents stored on websites or social media platforms, as well as communication conducted via mobile applications. In its...

The Issue of Pre-trial Detention in Criminal Procedure
Doležalová, Dominika ; Vokoun, Rudolf (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
- The Issue of Pre-trail Detention in Criminal Procedure This diploma thesis deals with the problems of pre-trail detention. The issue of pre-trail detention is a current and widely discussed topic due to two main reasons. First is the very nature of pre-trail detention as a means of procedural criminal law, with which the law most intensely interferes with the personal freedom of the individual. The second reason is its development and anchoring in the Czech legal system. Pre-trial detention has very specific characteristics because it interferes with personal freedom of an individual whose guilt has not been determined by the court. Consequently, there is a conflict between the human right to personal freedom and the need for the state to ensure the proper conduct of criminal proceedings and investigation. The thesis is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter deals with the concept of criminal detention itself and its role in criminal proceedings. The next chapter is dedicated to the development of the law of detention from 1873 to the present. The historical overview of the legal regulation of pre-trail detention is important for the understanding and interpretation of its perception today, and shows a gradual increase in the level of protection of human rights. The third chapter briefly...
