Šedivková, Anna Marie ; Pfeiffer, Magdalena (advisor) ; Zavadilová, Marta (referee)
Reservation of public policy in private international law Abstract This thesis aims to explore the issue of public policy reservation (ordre public) in private international law. The thesis analyses various aspects of public policy reservation and its application in the context of private international law, with an emphasis on the Czech legal environment. The thesis consists of five chapters, in the first chapter the concept of public policy in private international law is theoretically defined and its possible classification is presented. A separate subchapter focuses on the concept of public policy in European law and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. Furthermore, the thesis analyses the formal sources of law establishing the public policy reservation at the international, European and national level, as well as the conditions of application of the public policy reservation in Czech law. The principle of restrictive interpretation is analysed in more detail and the relativity doctrine is also analysed.

The last chapter examines the scope...

Bútora, Michal ; Lederer, Vít (advisor) ; Frinta, Ondřej (referee)
1 Public policy as a corrective to autonomy of will in private law Abstract The thesis deals with public policy and its role in private law. Public policy, as one of the correctives of the principle of autonomy of the will, is intended to protect the fundamental and basic interests of the state and society by limiting the absolute freedom of any arrangement of private law relations. The objective of this work is to create a comprehensive text that would provide a complete and objective study of this corrective. The thesis is divided into five basic chapters and a conclusion. Public policy in private law acts as a corrective to the principle of autonomy of the will, and this principle, together with its ideological basis, was introduced in the first part of the thesis. Then, the concept of public policy could be introduced in part three. The basic notion of what public policy should be, the understanding of public policy in its national and international contexts is discussed, but also the distinction of public policy with respect to the public interest or the distinction with regard to the corrective of good morals is also discussed in this part of the thesis. The fourth part of the thesis no longer focuses on the theory behind the notion of public policy, but examines public policy in the current legal...

The concealed performance of public power and values protected by the constitutional order
Klaban, Vladimír ; Hřebejk, Jiří (advisor) ; Kudrna, Jan (referee)
The aim of this diploma paper is to analyse and define the nature of secret exercise of public authority and to asses this phenomena in respect of the fundamental principles of the democratic rule of law. Any secrecy in exercising public authority is in fact a clear contradiction to a natural concept of the human rights and fundamental freedoms. Therefore the republic, as a public institution, should not have too many secrets to hide away from the people if its own principles are not to be completely disgraced. Secrecy in exercising public authority is a specific feature often related to the areas such as securing the sovereignity and territorial integrity of the Czech Republic, protecting its democratic foundations, protection of the lives and health of the population as well as the right to own the property. This is in full accordance with the constitutional duty of the state. Limited access to the information has a unique and 84 inevitable role in these areas and it is clearly mentioned in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, the European Convention of Human Rights and Freedoms and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The question of choice between the security and the liberty has been recently heavily discussed by the people as a natural follow up to the...

Sojka, Štěpán ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
(ENG) Refusal to recognize and enforce arbitral award under Article V, paragraph 2 (b) of the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 Public policy exception is a deeply rooted instrument used in international documents governing the recognition and enforcement of foreign dispute resolution decisions. It was included in the New York Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 since its very first draft, which actually aimed to reform the system of recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards at the time governed by Geneva Protocol and Geneva Convention. Article V section 2 b) of the New York Convention which embodies the public policy exception is quite commonly described as the weakest and the most problematic part of the Convention. In the thesis at hand, the author analyses this provision and conducts a research to find out whether and why the provision is problematic in the practice of the courts. In the first part of the thesis, the author describes the legislative process of the scrutinized provision. In the second part, author describes and analyses interpretation and application difficulties of the scrutinized provision using mainly various court decisions rendered by the relevant states' courts. In the last...

Administrative Expulsion Proceeding
Kubáková, Pavla ; Kryska, David (advisor) ; Svoboda, Petr (referee)
Administrativě Expulsion Proceeding Abstract The diploma thesis entitled "Administrativě Expulsion Proceeding" deals with a detailed analysis of the applicable legislation on the institute of the administrativě expulsion including its related aspects. The content of the entire thesis is divided into six chapters. The first chapter defines the institute of the administrative expulsion as such with the emphasis on its non- punitive character. The second chapter emphasizes the analysis of the individual situations which the act on the residence of aliens defines as reasons leading to the delivery of administrative expulsion decision. These reasons are analysed considering the fact whether the alien is a national of an E U member state or the alien is a third-country national as well as whether the alien stays on the territory of the Czech Republic on the basis of the temporary, long-term, or permanent residence. As the lawmaker defines the significant part of reasons by an indeterminate legal concept, i.e., the public order, the third chapter gives an interpretation of this indeterminate legal concept introduced by the Nejvyšší správní soud ČR (the Supreme Administrative Court of the Czech Republic) and, at the same time, aims at delivering the answer to the question whether as conduct, seriously disrupting...

The crime of disorderly conduct regulation
Ježek, Tomáš ; Pelc, Vladimír (advisor) ; Hořák, Jaromír (referee)
v anglickém jazyce This thesis deals with a Czech legal regulation of the crime of disorderly conduct, defined in section 358 of the Criminal Code in a very abstract way as a gross indecency or disorderly conduct committed publically or in a publically accessible place. The main aim of the thesis is to offer a general characteristic of the crime, to specify its appropriate interpretation, to propose potential alterations of the current legislation and finally to describe a problem of spectator violence as a specific type of disorderly conduct. The thesis consists of six parts, the first of which analyses elements of the crime with a focus on elements laid down by indefinite concepts of law. Problems of the current legislation and proposals of its potential changes are also mentioned in a final chapter of this part. The second part deals with admissibility of concurrence of disorderly conduct with other crimes and special attention is paid to impossibility of such concurrence on the grounds of consumption of crimes. The next part is concentrated on administrative delicts committed in cases of less serious disorderly conducts, i.e. administrative delicts against public order and against civil coexistence. This part also provides main indicators determining a decision if particular illegal behaviour...

Municipal by-laws to secure local public order
Sobotková, Kamila ; Rajchl, Jiří (advisor) ; Millerová, Ivana (referee)
1 Generally binding regulations of municipalities for securing local issues of public order Abstract This master thesis deals with generally binding regulations of municipalities for securing local issues of public order in pursuance of finding out to what extend and quality the municipalities do use the authorisation for lawmaking in independent competence while regulating the activities that disrupt public order; and also in pursuance of finding out how the individual municipal councils base their decisions on the knowledge of the local environment. In the introductory part the essential terms for better understanding of the area are defined. There are terms as municipality, public order, public place and generally binding regulations, while the understanding of the imprecise legal concept of public order is compared to the interpretation in neighbouring countries. Furthermore, the history of municipal self-government from the year 1848 up to the present day is summarized while presenting its importance and focusing on municipal lawmaking in independent competence. Considering that the approach of the Constitutional Court to the enabling provision of Article 104, paragraph 3 of the Constitution of the Czech Republic has developed, this thesis also analyses this genesis that is nowadays important for the...

Mandatory rules in the Civil Code
Mendrek, Piotr ; Elischer, David (referee)
Mandatory rules in the Civil Code Abstract The aim of this diploma thesis entitled "Mandatory rules in the Civil Code" is to analyse the mandatory rules in Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code (hereinafter "CC"), in terms of their theoretical definition, the way of their identification and occurrence. The work is therefore systematically divided into three parts. The first part deals with the conceptual and contentual definition of the mandatory rules and defines the differences between the mandatory and non-mandatory rules. Various types of mandatory rules are also discussed, with particular emphasis being placed on analysing the category of so-called relatively mandatory rules. In this part, the author profoundly deals with a division of rules into mandatory and non-mandatory. Moreover, the author discusses the pivotal principle of private law - the principle of autonomy of will. On one hand, this principle mirrors the non-mandatory rules of the Civil Code. On the other hand, it is pointed out to the necessity of limiting the autonomy of the will through the mandatory rules. The second part of the diploma thesis is devoted to the long-standing problem of identifying a mandatory rule. First of all, the legislative techniques used by the legislator for distinguishing mandatory and non-mandatory rules are...
