Tocik, Jan ; Černá, Stanislava (advisor) ; Josková, Lucie (referee)
1 Ascertaining beneficial owners of limited business corporations and the legal consequences of discrepancies in their register Abstract The ongoing EU regulatory developments in the area of anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism have brought obligations to identify and register data on beneficial owners of legal persons and legal arrangements. Beneficial owners are, in the most general sense, natural persons who, on a factual or legal basis, directly or indirectly, control a legal person or legal arrangement, own a significant share in it or draw a substantial part of funds from its capital resources. The main purpose and objective of these obligations is to ensure increased transparency of these legal entities so that they cannot be easily exploited for the perpetration of (financial) crime. In order to implement the latest European legislation into the Czech legal system, the Czech legislator adopted (and is currently amending) Act No. 37/2021 Sb., on the Register of Beneficial Owners, which regulates this legal matter in a general and comprehensive manner. The object of this thesis is the analysis of the new statutory regulation and the assessment of whether it is capable of achieving its objective, which is to ensure increased transparency of legal persons, specifically in the...

The exercise of the voting right in a joint-stock company
Slavíková, Lucie ; Zahradníčková, Marie (referee)
The Exercise of the Voting Right in a Join-Stock Company Abstract The submitted thesis analyses the voting right of a shareholder and the exercise of the voting right in a joint-stock company. In the last few years, a tendency to encourage the engagement of shareholders and to broaden the scope of decision rights of shareholders can be seen. Nevertheless, some authors underestimate the importance of the shareholders' right to vote and conclude that real decision-making power lies with the management or administrative board. The main hypothesis to be proven or rebutted is that the shareholder's voting right is not insignificant and vesting decision-making power in shareholders can have a positive influence on the effectiveness of the management of the company notwithstanding the broad liberty of the shareholder to both freely exercise and dispose of the voting right (the shares) and notwithstanding the existence of deviations from the principle of proportionality. The thesis aims to examine the voting right in its complexity, in contrast to the prevailing approach of contemporary Czech jurisprudence, and to contribute to academic knowledge with original arguments and conclusions. This goal is achieved by extensive use of foreign legal sources, mainly French and Belgian literature and case law, since the...
