COMMON EU VISA POLICY AND THE RIGHT OF APPEAL AGAINST A VISA REFUSAL
Koukal, Michal ; Scheu, Harald Christian (advisor) ; Pítrová, Lenka (referee) ; Pořízek, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with a description and analysis of the EU law and policy on Schengen visas. The EU visa policy is analysed in its historical development and its place in the framework of Schengen acquis. Separately, important visa policy measures are analysed including the typology of visas, exceptions from visa obligation, visa reciprocity, visa facilitation and processes of visa liberalisation. Different phases of the visa procedure are studied with focus on the questions whether there is a right to be issued a Schengen visa when the conditions are met and the right of appeal. The relevant legislation subject to analysis is above all the Visa Code, the regulation on visa lists and the relevant jurisprudence of the Court of Justice. By way of illustration, the implementation in the Czech legal order is used and jurisprudence of the Czech higher courts is quoted to show to what extent the EU visa procedure and visa refusal matches the requirements of the administrative law theory on the administrative procedure and decision in general. The relevant rules are assessed as to the extent they match with principles of legitimacy, influence of legal certainty, effectiveness and proportionality. The core of the work is a hypothesis that current EU visa rules do not establish a right to a visa when the...

Ordinary Legal Remedies in Czech Criminal Procedure
Vojta, Martin ; Spirit, Michal (advisor)
This thesis deals with the topic of judicial remedies admissible against decisions, which haven't become legally effective. The Czech Criminal Procedure recognizes three kinds -- appeal, complaint and protest against criminal writ. The first part contains commentary on leading principles and maxims of criminal remedial proceeding. It is followed by thorough examination of the three currently effective judicial remedies. This part is divided according to individual elements of these remedies such as: essential requirements on form and content, allowed reasons and object, entitled persons, the procedure itself and possible outcomes. The last part briefly summarizes expected changes that will be brought about by the new legislation, which is being prepared at the time. Remedial Criminal Procedure represents although it is not compulsory a vital stage of Criminal Procedure in any democratic country. It helps to guarantee its fairness and righteousness. Legal remedies contribute to the protection of human rights touched by the state during criminal trials.
