Class actions Abstract This thesis deals with the regulation of collective proceedings in the Czech Republic, first focusing on the current forms of collective proceedings and then moving on to the draft of the Act on Collective Civil Judicial Proceedings. The aim of the thesis is to contribute to the professional debate on the emerging form of collective proceedings with a mostly practical view of setting specific parameters of the law, to point out some shortcomings of the current proposed bill and to offer its own solutions. From the methodological point of view, the analytical, normative, comparative and synthetic approaches were used. However, a descriptive approach is also evident in the beginnig of the thesis. The analysis was mainly used in the examination of the current draft of the Act on Collective Civil Judicial Proceedings and the Polish legislation. The normative approach is most evident in the critical commentary on the current proposed bill. The thesis offers a comparative examination when comparing the proposed Czech and Polish legislation. The synthesis of the recorded findings is then most influenced by the section dealing with considerations on the future appropriate form of class actions. From the content point of view, the thesis first offers a theoretical excursus in which it deals...

Class proceedings in Czech legislation Abstract The thesis deals with the class proceedings in the Czech legislation. Its aim is to contribute to the expert debate about the emerging class proceedings legislation within the Czech civil procedural law. For this reason, the thesis analyses the topic of the class proceedings, which the Czech expert public has treated mostly theoretically so far. The thesis focuses on the published bill on the class proceedings that was considered by the Czech Chamber of Deputies until 2021. Apart from a critical analysis of the legislative text, the thesis compares it with other relevant regulations and foreign approaches. The comparison provided is two-fold: firstly with the new European Directive on Representative Actions, secondly with the Austrian legal approach to class action. From a methodological viewpoint, the thesis mostly uses the analytical, comparative and synthetic methods. Within the analysis of different legislations, the author uses a positivist approach, while during the analysis of the suggested legislation the methodological approach is normative. In the introduction, the thesis examines the class action institute from a theoretical viewpoint. Subsequently, the current Czech class action legislation included in the Code of Civil Procedure is analysed along...

Class actions In the thesis on the topic of "Class actions", the author first deals with general issues of class actions, their division or individual systems of collective proceedings. In the second chapter, the author focuses on European legislation, specifically the Commission Recommendation of 11 June 2013 on common principles for injunctive and compensatory collective redress mechanisms in the Member States concerning violations of rights granted under Union Law and Proposal for a directive of the European parliament and of the council on representative actions for the protection of the collective interests of consumers, and repealing Directive 2009/22/EC of 11 April 2018. Institutes, which in the current Czech legislation to some extent show signs of collective proceedings, are included and described in detail in the third chapter. The last chapter is a key chapter of the thesis, in which the author deals with the proposed Czech legislation on collective proceedings and compares it with the already adopted German legislation "Musterfeststellungsklage". In the individual subchapters, the proposed Czech legislation is not only compared with the already adopted German legislation, but within the Czech legislation itself, amendments are pointed out that have been implemented within the current...

Class Actions

Class Actions in the Czech Legal Order Abstract A class action makes it possible to deal with similar claims of members of a certain group in a single proceeding, instead of forcing each injured party to assert his or her own claim in a separate proceeding. It is thus an important tool for collective protection of rights. The draft law on collective proceedings, which is currently being debated by the Chamber of Deputies, is the result of many years of discussions on the need to adopt a comprehensive regulation of collective protection of rights - typical especially for common law countries - in the Czech Republic. The original draft law on class actions, published in March 2019, was highly controversial and provoked a wave of sharp criticism, which eventually led to its comprehensive revision, including a change of name. This piece of work aims to compare the key elements of the currently discussed version of the draft law on collective proceedings with the alternatives chosen by legislators in other countries, and especially with the original draft law on class actions. The purpose of the work is to find out whether the Czech legislator managed to remove the most criticized aspects of the original draft law and eliminated the greatest risks arising from the new legislation. The main benefit of this piece...
