Kuta, Petr ; Hurychová, Klára (advisor) ; Eichlerová, Kateřina (referee)
Insolvency delicts under the Business Corporations Act Abstract The thesis deals with the very up-to-date topic of insolvency delicts under the Business Corporations Act, the legal regulation of which has undergone fundamental conceptual changes in recent years. The amendment of Business Corporations Act (the "amendment")1 brought a completely new form of the actus reus of the insolvency delict, which unified the previously disparate and unjustifiably differentiated legislation. In this context, the procedural aspect of the legislation has also been redesigned by introducing joint proceedings on insolvency delicts, which are now a part of the insolvency proceedings. Additionally, the regulation of insolvency sanctions as liability consequences for the commission of a insolvency delict has also been clarified, with the former sanction of liability for the debts of a bankrupt business corporation being completely replaced by a whole new concept of "liability for lack of property" inspired by French law. These changes to the legislation are set out in the context of the objectives pursued by the amendment and in the light of the general meaning and purpose of the legislation, which is, in particular, to protect the property interests of the creditors of the bankrupt business corporation. The interpretation is...

Concurrence of the membership in the statutory body of a capital company and the employment relationship Abstract This thesis is focused on the concurrence of the membership in the statutory body of a limited liability company and a joint stock company and the employment relationship with the same company. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the issue of such concurrence in terms of both current and historical legislation, case law and professional discussion.

Remuneration of members of governing bodies of joint-stock companies
Peterka, Jiří ; Černá, Stanislava (advisor) ; Zahradníčková, Marie (referee)
1 Abstract Remuneration of members of governing bodies of joint-stock companies Remuneration of members of governing bodies of joint-stock companies is very topical. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the topic and its fundamental aspects, to compare legislation before and after the re-codification of Czech private law and to compare Czech and British law relating to remuneration. The first chapter defines the basic terms, aims and methodology of this thesis and describes relevant economic concepts (e.g. principal-agent problem, fragmentation of ownership of joint stock companies). The second chapter focuses on the issue of concurrent engagement as a director and as an employee of the company. This issue had been object of legal uncertainty in the past. The third chapter focuses on entitlement to remuneration. After the re-codification, the director is not entitled to remuneration unless otherwise stipulated by the parties. The right to be remunerated can be based on a service contract, internal directive or a resolution of the company. In certain cases, the member can be entitled to remuneration at the prevalent market rate. This is being compared in the thesis to the British regulation where decision-making about remuneration may be entrusted to the board of directors itself. On the other hand, the...

Fröhlich, Lukáš ; Černá, Stanislava (advisor) ; Liška, Petr (referee)
1 Concurrence of the Position of a Governing Body and Statutory Authorization in Limited Companies and Cooperative in a Comparative Context Abstract The thesis provides an analysis of function concurrence between board members and employees to the extent of board members in companies limited by shares and in a society. The aim of this thesis is to describe the relative issues, problematic and controversial aspects of current doctrine and propose possible solutions, which could be acceptable for legal theory as well as for legal practice. The work is divided into three main parts. The first part deals with the validity of employment contract in case of concurrence of functions. The second part then describes the issue of company representation in case of concurrence of functions. The last part describes the relative issues, which are common to both previous sections. The first part deals mainly with the current legal regulation of the employment contract in case of concurrence of functions. Not long ago, the employment contract was held as invalid by case law; however a recent legislation has brought some reasonable changes and has explicitly declared the validity of the employment contract. Nevertheless, this has produced also some new issues, especially in the case of conflicts between the employment...

Liability of governing bodies of limited companies agaist third parties for a breach of duty in the course of performance of function from a comparative perspective
Hradil, Petr ; Černá, Stanislava (advisor) ; Zahradníčková, Marie (referee)
Liability of governing bodies of limited companies against third parties for a breach of duty in the course of performance of function from a comparative perspective The thesis deals with the legal liability of company representatives, an important theme for several reasons. One is the fact that companies are legal persons, or entities which do not exist in reality and whose intentions are realised through persons distinct from them, namely their representatives. Both legislation and the memorandum of association impose many duties on representatives which must be fulfilled. It may happen that these duties are breached, resulting in damage to a company, its associates, and other neutral parties, most often the company's creditors. We must consider if the legal order should pierce the veil around companies and allow the possibility of persons acting on a company's behalf to be directly sanctioned. The thesis attempts to analyse the circumstances under which company representatives should be directly liable for their actions. With regard to the fact that the legislation is not developed in the Czech Republic, I had to work with foreign examples and deduce which provisions of Czech law might be useful for the development of the theory. The first four chapters present and deal with concepts which are...

Concurrence of the function of a member of a statutory body and an employment relationship in the same corporation
Pulda, Tomáš ; Morávek, Jakub (advisor) ; Tomšej, Jakub (referee)
Concurrence of the function of a member of a statutory body and an employment relationship in the same corporation Abstract The aim of this work is to comprehensively map the issue of concurrence of a member of a statutory body and an employment relationship in the same business corporation, both in terms of regulatory development and in terms of the most important court decisions concerning concurrence. The purpose is therefore to create an imaginary "timeline" that will reflect the various relevant provisions of the legislation and at the same time bring a selection of the most interesting court decisions. The more practical side of the matter is also not neglected, when the validity of employment contracts, which create concurrence, is analyzed. The first chapter is focused on the basic theoretical background of both the field of labor law and commercial law, which is worked with in other parts of the work and which are important for understanding the whole issue. In the third chapter, I focused on case law, which represents a key role in the issue of concurrence of a member of a statutory body with an employment relationship. A substantial part of this chapter is devoted to the analysis of the Constitutional Court's ruling from 2016, but several decisions of the Supreme Court are also mentioned, whose...
