Pazourková, Klára ; Mulák, Jiří (advisor) ; Šelleng, Dalibor (referee)
Admissibility of evidence in criminal proceedings Abstract The thesis deals with the procedural applicability of evidence in criminal proceedings from the perspective of defects caused by violations of procedural rules of evidence. The aim of the thesis is to summarize the applicable legislation with a focus on procedural acts of law enforcement authorities in criminal proceedings and to analyse the defects that may arise in the process of evidence. Can any substantial error in the acquisition or execution of evidence prevent its use in court proceedings? How do Czech courts view violations of procedural rules on evidence, or defects in the process? The author tries to find answers to these questions by analysing the institutes and principles related to the field of evidence and by analysing the decisions of the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court.

Last but not least, it also contains the basic principles governing evidence, also with regard to international regulation. The second chapter deals with theoretical approaches to the...

Urgent and unrepeatable acts
Kučera, Petr ; Tejnská, Katarína (advisor) ; Galovcová, Ingrid (referee)
and keywords Urgent and unrepeatable acts Urgent and unrepeatable acts are procedural acts of criminal proceedings in which there is a conflict between the rights of the defense with the purpose of criminal proceedings consisting in the lawful determination of the circumstances of the commission of a crime and in the fair punishment of its perpetrator. This conflict is tolerated because urgent and unrepeatable acts are used to secure and take evidence that risks being thwarted, destroyed or lost, or evidence that cannot be taken in court proceedings. The aim of this work is to describe and analyze the conditions under which these, by their nature exceptional, acts of criminal proceedings can be performed and to analyze the consequences of non-compliance with these conditions. To this end, the first chapter described the structure of criminal proceedings with a focus on the structure of preparatory proceedings and analyzed the definition of urgent and unrepeatable acts, provided some typical examples and an analysis of the problematic definition of urgency. In the second chapter, in addition to the general conditions of evidence, the formal and material conditions for performing urgent and unrepeatable acts were analyzed, including the question of whether some additional conditions imposed on...
