Arbitration proceedings as a means of dispute resolution in international law with regard to the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards
Petr, David ; Balaš, Vladimír (advisor) ; Macková, Alena (referee)
Arbitration proceedings as a means of dispute resolution in international law with regard to the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards Resumé Arbitration as a method of settlement of disputes settlement has enjoyed growing popularity in recent several years. Arbitration stands between other alternative means of dispute settlement and the common court trial as a alternative dispute resolution. Although negotiation, good offices, mediation, conciliation, inquiry, mini-trial, medarb or meadaloa are often used forms of the dispute settlement their awards cannot be enforced by the state authority. Those means are popular mainly in the business field where the parties are interested in the cooperation and where they aim to clear up some misunderstanding or technical problems rather than solve major disputes between them. While the dispute should be solved by the binding way the parties would choose the arbitration as a legally framed procedure. Arbitral awards are then able to be enforced and the parties also have more exact boundaries for the whole procedure. However, there is no unified definition of the arbitration, it could be described as a legal technique where the parties bring claim before one or more neutral persons (arbiters or arbitral tribunal) by whose award the parties agree to be...

The competence of arbitrators for deciding property disputes (from the perspective of their independence and impartiality)
Ryšavý, Lukáš ; Pohl, Tomáš (referee)
The main focus of this doctoral thesis is arbitration; the phenomenon of not only an out- of-court dispute resolution but also international commercial relations. Arbitration is a modern legal institute that is regarded as an equivalent alternative to court proceedings. Independence and impartiality of the arbitrator are very important and at the same time very problematic aspects of arbitration. These two principals accompany the arbitration since the beginning of the modern era of this institution and they are still perceived as essential criteria of the arbitration. Independent and impartial decision-makers are an integral part of the right to a fair trial enshrined in Art. 36 subsection 1 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms and Art. 6 subsection 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Although such legislation refers to the court in terms of a state court, in the course of this thesis was demonstrated that these attributes are also applicable to arbitrators, even though they must be interpreted in arbitration proceedings with respect to the characteristics of arbitration. Due to the fact that resolving disputes in this way is the most common approach in international trade, the main focus of this thesis is to depict the issues of independence and impartiality in relation of...

Arbitration before the Arbitration Court Attached to the Czech Chamber of Commerce and the Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic
Grivalská, Andrea ; Pohl, Tomáš (advisor) ; Macková, Alena (referee)
This rigorous thesis, entitled "Arbitration before the Arbitration Court Attached to the Czech Chamber of Commerce and the Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic", deals primarily with the legal regulation of arbitration proceedings before the Arbitration court attached to the Czech Chamber of Commerce and the Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic (hereinafter referred to as the "Arbitration Court"). The main focus of this work is on the ongoing debate in respect of the regulation contained in the Arbitration Rules issued by Arbitration Court, which contains a rather complex regulation of the rules for the arbitration proceedings before the Arbitration court, as well as on the legal regulation contained in Act No. 216/1994 Coll., on arbitration and the enforcement of arbitral awards, as amended. While preparing this thesis on the issue of arbitration before the Arbitration Court, I paid close attention to both the extensive body of case law and the ideas put forth in professional literature. The aim of this rigorous work was not only to describe arbitration proceedings before the Arbitration Court, but also to address issues currently being discussed that are related to this procedure and current legislation; at the same time, another goal was to offer an opinion on problematic issues and,...

Expert in international commercial arbitration and investment disputes
Gregor, Lucie ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Ondřej, Jan (referee) ; Kunz, Oto (referee)
This Dissertation is focused on issues concerning the position of an expert in international arbitration proceedings and in international investment disputes. Unlike proceedings conducted before general courts of law, arbitration proceedings have a number of advantages, and therefore they are used very often to resolve disputes in this area, and arbitration proceedings are used almost exclusively with regard to resolution of disputes relating to international investments. The aim of the Dissertation was an analysis of dispute resolution in arbitration proceedings from the expert's point of view and the expert's position in this procedure. It is without any doubt that experts can help arbitrators to reach a qualified resolution of disputes in a significant way. At first, the Dissertation deals with general and historical issues, such as comparison of methods of dispute solution where an international element appears, in both arbitration and judicial proceedings, and it lists the advantages of arbitration proceedings as well. After specification of the term "expert", the Dissertation provides a view into the expert's profession history in the territory of our country and into its legal regulation. With regard to our membership in the European Union it is, of course, necessary for the Dissertation to...

International Commercial Arbitration at the Beginning of the Third Millennium
Pressburgerová, Lucia ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
127 Abstract The thesis is divided into nine chapters, each of them dealing with different aspects of arbitration. Arbitration is being defined as a legal technique for the resolution of disputes outside the courts, wherein the parties to a dispute refer it to one or more persons (the arbitrators, or arbitral tribunal), by whose decision (the award) they agree to be bound. It is a settlement technique in which a third party reviews the case and imposes a decision that is legally binding for both sides. Arbitration in the Czech Republic is governed by the Act No. 216/1994 Coll., on Arbitration Proceedings and Enforcement of Arbitration Awards, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the "APA"), that is largely based on the same principles as the UNCITRAL model law. The APA applies to both domestic and international arbitrations taking place in the area of the Czech Republic. Pursuant to the APA an arbitrational award may only be reviewed by other arbitrators if the parties have provided for such an option in the arbitration agreement. Where there are serious legal defects, the APA allows parties to seek a court decision whereby such a defective award will be set aside. In the Czech Republic parties may choose to have their matter heard and resolved either before an institutional (permanent) arbitration court...

Alternative dispute resolution for domain names
Gongol, Tomáš ; Švarc, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Boháček, Martin (referee) ; Jakl, Ladislav (referee) ; Růžička, Květoslav (referee)
The thesis in its theoretical part deals with problem of a domain name and alternative dispute resolution definitions. The view on the domain name definition is described both in Czech legal order and the international context. Rules of registration and using domain names are defined not only by the state law but also and above all by private rules formed by generic and country code top level domain administrators. Analyses of these legal sources and theirs comparison is necessary presumption for legal discretion of further development. Missing legal definition causes many problems which are shown in the context of concrete court and administrative decisions in the Czech Republic. Especially important are relations between domain names and trade marks, trade names, right to protection of person and the law of unfair competition. For definition of an alternative dispute resolution a special method of Aristoteles' logical square was used and applied on conditions of disputes resolution. The object of interest in the second practical part of the thesis is a legal regulation of .eu domain names. After necessary definition of legal sources, especially on secondary law level of the European Community, follows in practical part analysis of decisions concerning .eu domain name disputes issued by alternative procedure provided by the Czech Arbitration Court attached to the Economic Chamber of the Czech Republic and Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic, in the year of 2007. Essential part of this analysis is formation of domain name "case law".
