Arbitration proceedings in the Czech Republic
Hromadová, Andrea ; Smolík, Petr (advisor) ; Winterová, Alena (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to provide a complex description of the conduct of the arbitration proceedings in the Czech Republic. Specifically with the focus on typical features that differ arbitration from proceedings before courts, and on special types of proceedings. Arbitration can be characterized as one of the ways to settle a dispute, that arises between two or more parties. Common way of resolving a dispute is by reffering it to a state court, who will issue a judgment that is binding upon the parties and can be enforced. In certain areas of private relationships, the state offers the parties the opportunity to submit their dispute to a private body, whose decision they agree to respect as if it was a decision of a general court. These types of dispute resolution can be characterized as alternatives to the classical way of resolution by the courts (alternative dispute resolution or ADR). Arbitration proceedings in the Czech republic are conducted in accordance with the Act No. 216/1994 Coll., on Arbitration Procedure and the Enforcement of Arbitration Awards, as amended (Arbitration Act). Since its adoption, there have been some amendments of this Arbitration Act, in order to reflect modern trends in the conduct of the proceedings as well as to correct its weaknesses, established by judgments of...

Koman, Dalibor ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Dobiáš, Petr (referee)
RESUMÉ Legal status of an Arbitrator Arbitration especially in 20th century developed into a fully qualified alternative instead of solving property disputes by means of general Courts. It is necessary to point out that the aspects which differ it from civil process and frequently targets of polemics. Even though the development of the arbitration in the Czech Republic has been considerable in the last decade and both general Courts and Constitution Court has responded with sufficient intensity, there are still some areas of unstable arbitration. Arbitration comes with considerable amount of advantages in comparison with general Courts, but also it brings some topics which are often criticized. That is often caused by a specific point of view not regarding every aspect. In arbitration there is a possibility to influence composition of arbitrary forum, which is a typical example of problems coming from different adaptations. This adaptation is absolutely different from the one of trials, where on the contrary there is the rule of regular judge, which is warranted by exact definition of the matter, place and function. In arbitration both parties to a contract are allowed to choose an arbitrator regarding his qualification, specialization, professional skills and reputation which is an advantage for the...

Arbitration is one of alternative dispute resolutions for and for which is typical extrajudicial proceeding with exclusion of the judicial authority.

Then I focus on the fundamental terms of the arbitration agreement, form of arbitration...

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...

Case law influence on Czech national and international arbitration proceedings
Sedloňová, Věra ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Müller, Milan (referee) ; Poláček, Bohumil (referee)
Case law influence on Czech national and international arbitration Proceedings Abstract Arbitration proceedings represent, besides civil judicial procedures, one of the methods for solution of material disputes in private-law relations. Arbitration proceedings have been used for quite a long time. In our territory they were used already under the rule of Charles IV. For example, Jakub Krčín and Štěpánek Netolický, who were well-known artificial lake engineers, belonged among highly appreciated arbitrators. Significant development of arbitration proceedings was registered after 1949, when the Steady Arbitration Court was established at the Czechoslovak Chamber of Commerce in May 1949 and exists up to now under the name "Arbitration Court attached to the Czech Chamber of Commerce and the Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic". Legal regulation of arbitration proceedings was undergoing various changes. A principal change occurred in 1964, when the Act no. 98/1963 Coll., on arbitration proceedings in international trade and on enforcement of arbitration awards entered into force, admitting arbitration proceedings only in international trade relations and only for legal entities, at that time foreign trade enterprises. Another principal change then occurred as at 1 January 2015, the effective date of the...
