Transfer of ownership rights in book-entry securities
Lukačovič, Filip ; Čech, Petr (advisor) ; Josková, Lucie (referee)
In my thesis, I attempt to settle several legal issues pertaining to the matter of transfer of ownership title to book-entry securities. In our law, many legal instruments are only provided for in relation to certificated securities. The Civil Code then extends the scope of application of provisions on certificated securities to book-entry securities, except for where the nature of the latter or a different statutory provision prohibits it. Hence, the key question of my thesis is whether book-entry securities must be observed in a manner that respects their particular nature, and if so, how do said particularities influence the transfer of ownership title to the same. The core text of the thesis is contained within Part 2., designated Nature of Book-Entry Securities, and Part 3., designated Transfer of Book-Entry Securities. Part 2. is devoted to the nature and particularities of book-entry securities that often lie between private and public law and which influence means of their transfers. Consecutively, using their individual characteristics, I distinguish book-entry securities from the certificated ones, I theorize on the possibility of a "reverse-substitution", I conclude some regulatory as- pects of the current law (from deposition and extracts therefrom, to changes of records as con-...

Uncertificated securities in financial law
Matyášová, Eva
This thesis deals with the phenomenon of the uncertificated securities in the context of financial law. Proper and prudential legal regulation of the securities is considered to be key element of efficient financial markets of which the importance for the economics is systematically growing in past few decades. From the beginning, financial markets were dominated by certificated securities represented by legal fiction incorporating rights arising from the security into a certificate and considering this certificate as a tangible movable asset. In the consequence of the development of financial markets and securities trading uncertificated securities were developed to make transfers of the securities and asset management feasible. Uncertificated securities can be defined as substitutable physical securities incorporating private rights which are prerequisite for the exercise and transfer of those rights and which are replaced by a record entered in the central register of securities, mainly central securities depositories. The form of the uncertificated securities determines the necessity of their special legal regulation taking into account their legal nature and connected legal aspects of record keeping. The purpose of my thesis is to analyse relevant Czech legislation and highlight both...

The second chapter briefly describes the functions of the securities. The third chapter describes forms of securities that are crucial for determination of methods of transfer of the securities. It also discusses enactment of legal presumptions of the form of the security that are used to determine form of securities in the case the form of the security is not entirely clear.
