The main goal of this thesis is to offer a detailed perspective on the discharge from debts in the context of insolvency proceedings and also to illuminate the most important novelties, which were brought with the newest amendment of the insolvency law. The debt relief was alongside with the reorganization incorporated to the Czech legal system by the Insolvency act, No. 182/2006 Coll., which entered into force on the 1st of January 2008. This led to a significant shift from the liquidation form of resolving bankruptcy to the preference of the remedial methods. The main purpose of the debt relief is to provide a person in bankruptcy with an opportunity to free themselves from their debts and at the same time to ensure the highest possible and proportional satisfaction of the creditors. This institute was originally designed exclusively for the persons, who were not engaged in business, mainly for consumers. Nowadays this statement is not entirely factual.

This dissertation thesis is aimed into costs of civil proceedings, especially general costs of civil proceedings and special costs of civil proceedings. Regarding the special costs of civil proceedings it deals with its renumeration (ammount and extent). Existing czech law was compared on given cases with german and english law; economic analysis of existing czech law governing the renumeration or general costs of civil proceedings was went through and as the result the externalities were found and defined with the consequencies the law lead to. The dissertation thesis has found a mathematical formula for calculation of summary renumeration of costs accompanied with lawsuits so that for the creditor it is more economical to sue the debts than to cede them to the debt collecting companies, and together with that the new law is proposed to prevent externalities that destruct the funcioning of civil courts by flood of multicopy-lawsuits and externalities that mean property transfer from wide level of citizens towards to the few individuals (bailiffs).
