International sales contract
Staňková, Monika ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
The thesis is called international sales contract. The aim of it was to provide an overview of the possible legal regime of an international sales contract and to inform about sources of law that are applicable to such contract. The main aim of my thesis was to analyze United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). I tried to evaluate its advantages and disadvantages through the whole thesis. I focused on its scope of application, on the other hand, I did not examine rights and duties of parties to a contract determined by the CISG. In one part of my thesis I also paid attention to INCOTERMS, which is a significant and practical tool on the field of international trade. I realized this thesis using a descriptive method, since I tried to characterize certain legal instruments and their position and function thanks to information obtained from legislation, doctrine and case law. Moreover, I was using a comparative method, as I was comparing differing opinions of doctrine. Afterwards, I tried to form and explain my own views. I divided my thesis into five sections. In the first section I described international sales contract and I pointed out the difference between international and domestic sales contract. In the second part I was dealing with sources of law of...

In addition to the description of the general parameters of European insolvency regulations he refers to the discussion regarding the advantages and disadvantages of COMI as the main factor for the determination of a court's jurisdiction for the initiation and conduct of insolvency proceedings with an international element, and tries to show (with references to several judgments of the European Court of Justice and national courts - among them the Czech courts) both the development of its application in practice and the development of the definition of COMI itself and criteria for assessment.

Companies in private international law
Botová, Hana ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
Companies in private international law Abstract The purpose of my thesis is to analyze the regulation of companies in private international law with the focus on the possibilities of cross-border movement of companies. In today's globalized society, the mobility of companies affects both economy of the state and lives of the employees, creditors and other parties. It is therefore subject to regulation. State's conflict of laws rules are based on two main methods to determine the status of the company, i.e. the incorporation doctrine and the real seat doctrine. These two doctrines are clashing in many aspects. The thesis is composed of an introduction, followed by five chapters, and a summary. Chapter One is introductory and defines basic terminology used in the thesis: the terms company and private international law. The second chapter explains the concept of status of a company and analyses the incorporation theory, the theory of real seat and the theory of super-addition. It also deals with the cross-border transfer of seat. Chapter Three examines Czech legislation regarding the personal status of a company. It explains the historical background and recent Czech concept of the incorporation theory, addresses the issue of seat in Czech law and investigates the regulation of cross-border transfer of seat....

International insolvency law
Čermák, Jan ; Brodec, Jan (advisor) ; Růžička, Květoslav (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the topic of international insolvency law, in particular with certain areas of European insolvency law, with an emphasis on the matters of international jurisdiction for opening of main and territorial insolvency proceedings and international jurisdiction to hear actions related to insolvency proceedings. Furthermore, this diploma thesis is aimed at evaluation of the Czech legislation regarding cross-border insolvencies. The legal framework for European insolvency law was incorporated into the Insolvency regulation in 2002. Due to disagreements between certain member states of the EU regarding some of the important institutes of cross-border insolvencies the Insolvency regulation often contains vague provisions. It, therefore, fell to the Court of Justice of the European Union to provide interpretation of such ambiguous clauses. In 2012 the European commission created a report on the application of the Insolvency regulation and simultaneously presented a long awaited proposal for modernisation of the European insolvency law in the form of the Insolvency regulation recast. The aim of the Insolvency regulation recast is to promote cooperation between member states in the matter of cross-border insolvency proceedings. Additionally, it codifies a substantial part of the...

Šarapatka, Matěj ; Brodec, Jan (advisor) ; Pfeiffer, Magdalena (referee)
The aim of this work is to analyse the companies under the private international and European law, their cross-border mobility and the problems associated therewith. Crucial emphasis is placed on the synthesis of foreign and Czech authors and confrontation of theory and practice in the light of the current global development of company law in private international law. The key point is the determination of personal status of the company and the conflict between the incorporation theory and the real seat theory. At the outset the author explains the reasons which led him to write this thesis, including the methods used to do so. The whole thesis is divided into four main thematic areas. In the first chapter, some of the basic concepts are defined in order to clarify the thematic framework within which the thesis will be dealt with. The second chapter addresses the definition of the term "Company", its personal status, various approaches to determine the effects of different conflict theories and the regulatory competition arising thereof.

International insolvency law
Šerák, Martin ; Brodec, Jan (advisor) ; Pfeiffer, Magdalena (referee)
This thesis focuses primarily on the field of European cross-border insolvency law, currently represented by the EU Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings (EC No 1346/2000). The EU Regulation considered theoretical conflict between advocates of universalism and territorialism, and is generally regarded as reflecting it in a way of modification, which is represented by distinction between main and ancillary insolvency proceedings. Determination of international jurisdiction in the main insolvency proceedings is inherently linked with the criteria of the centre of main interests (COMI), which serves as a specific connecting factor to constitute both the court with jurisdiction and applicable law, for the purpose of the whole insolvency process in accordance with the principle lex fori concursus. The COMI concept is the root of the jurisdiction trouble, thus this thesis aims at providing substantial information on the concept, since the EU Regulation neglects its proper introduction. One of many issues related to COMI conception is a phenomenon of forum shopping, term used to describe situations when debtors manipulate with facts relevant for establishing jurisdiction, in order to obtain more favourable position, usually at creditors' expense. The thesis also deals with another important initiative in...
