The topic of this thesis is " Protection of goodwill of a legal entity". It is an issue which deserves an attention, but seldom can man find any legal literature or essays on this topic, especially in comparison with the sphere of protection of personal rights. As the modern age moves ahead, there are more legal entities and also it is much easier to affect the right to goodwill of a legal entity and the encroachments are becoming more frequent. Due to the tense wording of the Sentence 19b of the Act No. 40/1964 Coll., Civil Code, as amended, it is necessary to follow the practice of the courts to describe this topic. So it is in this thesis, which is primarily based on the judgements of the courts, especially from the decisions of the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic. The other sources, I used in this thesis, are the commentaries and other legal literature. The aim of this thesis is to describe what exactly is goodwill, how a person can interfere into the right to goodwill, in which circumstances the person will not be liable for the unjustified encroachment, and if it is found, that the person is liable for the unjustified encroachment, how can the legal entity defend its rights before the court. The thesis is divided into eight chapters, from which the first and the last ones are introduction...

International tax law forms in an increasingly globalized world a significant regulator applying to constantly expanding group of entities whose activities are not exclusively tied to the area of one country. On the contrary, due to the continuously increasing link between national economies these entities very often simultaneously operate across multiple territories which often results to not always clearly identifiable tax law implications. It may be noted that international cooperation between states got over long decades to the fairly high level, especially in terms of prevention of the negative effects of double taxation of income to the subject to income tax. These negative effects were seen, and indeed even today sometimes may be seen in the form of increased tax burden of tax subjects, which is related to unwillingness to cross-border activity. Also especially developed countries very often aim to support such cross-border activities due to a positive impact into their public budgets. On the other hand, it is still possible to see certain gaps which, if used appropriate by the tax entities open the way to circumvention of rules and general principles on which international cooperation on these issues is based. These problems are primarily based on the concept of tax sovereignty which...

A teoria da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica se consolidou em nosso ordenamento jurídico em razão de sua importância para combater o abuso da pessoa jurídica e fraudes que pudessem ser cometidas sob o manto da personalidade jurídica e a autonomia patrimonial das Empresas. Nesse aspecto, importante explicitar como os diversos tipos de sociedades previstos em nosso ordenamento se relacionam com a responsabilidade de sócios e administradores, razão principal para entendermos como a disregard doctrine foi introduzida em nossa jurisprudência e como atualmente se desenvolve nos diversos ramos do direito brasileiro. A responsabilidade patrimonial deve ser examinada pelas hipóteses de superação da personalidade jurídica, como em casos de falência ou de sócios retirantes, em que se deve avaliar o caso concreto e o ordenamento jurídico para aplicação da teoria em debate. Para tanto, será examinado o desenvolvimento da teoria da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica em nosso ordenamento, bem como sua consolidação nas decisões em diversos ramos do direito até se tornar prática nas decisões proferidas pela justiça do trabalho. Também será avaliada a crescente responsabilização de terceiros (sócios e administradores) de acordo com a vasta legislação existente, a fim de se avaliar como a jurisprudência trabalhista e tributária tem considerado o procurador das empresas, sócios e ex-sócios como responsáveis para o adimplemento de obrigações nesses ramos do direito. Por fim, será feito estudo sobre as decisões trabalhistas recentes para avaliar qual a fundamentação dessa justiça especializada para responsabilizar o procurador pelo pagamento dos créditos decorrentes da relação de trabalho e como tais decisões podem envolver a segurança jurídica das relações empresariais e influenciar as atividades econômicas do país. / The disregard of legal entity doctrine was consolidated in Brazilian Law because of its importance to avoid abuse of the legal entity and deceit committed under the veil of corporate entity and autonomy of equity companies. In this respect, important to explain how the different types of companies under our law relate to the liability of partners and managers, to understand the main reason as to disregard doctrine was introduced in our courts and how currently this develops in different fields of Brazilian law. The personal liability shall be examined by the assumptions of overcoming corporate entity, as in cases of bankruptcy or partners retreatants, in which to value the case and the laws for the application of mentioned doctrine. Thus, we examined the development of the disregard of legal entity doctrine on Brazilian Laws, as well as its consolidation in decisions of various fields of law until become usual in the labor courts decisions. It will also be assessed the increasing liability of partners and managers according to the vast existing law, in order to exam how the labor and tax courts has considered the attorney of companies, partners and ex-partners as responsible for the performance of obligations in these areas of law. Finally, the study will be done on recent labor decisions to assess the reasons for that justice to blame the attorney for the payment of claims from the employment relationship and how such decisions may involve the security of legal relations and corporate influence our economic activities.

O trabalho tem como tema central à análise da dimensão das responsabilidades nos grupos econômicos, bem como a sua interpretação perante os tribunais do trabalho. Busca-se compreender a extensão das obrigações impostas aos grupos e as pessoas que o compõem e acima de tudo, como os tribunais tem decido as questões praticas acerca do tema. As questões que envolvem os Grupos Econômicos têm sido tratadas de diversas formas e sob vários aspectos em nosso ordenamento jurídico. Cada ramo de nosso direito pátrio aborda a questão de acordo com a sua realidade prática, porém, nos casos concretos, a solução dos conflitos muitas vezes prescindem de uma análise mais abrangente. Quando o tema vem à tona, quase sempre repercute em mais de uma esfera, porém, é comum ignorar a essência do instituto e a natureza da questão para buscar a solução apenas sob o ponto de vista do direito que se aborda. Exemplo prático dessa situação é buscar apenas no Direito do Trabalho a solução de um conflito envolvendo o tema Grupo Econômico e a dimensão de suas responsabilidades e das pessoas que o compõem, tudo isso apenas para buscar a satisfação do crédito do trabalhador, como se o Direito do Trabalho servisse apenas para o exercício do pleno de direito de apenas de um dos agentes do pacto social. Embora ainda persista a aplicação estanque do conceito previsto no artigo 2°, § 2° da Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho CLT, os tribunais trabalhistas, principalmente com o advento da Emenda Constitucional 45, vem adotando conceitos outrora utilizados somente em outros ramos do direito. A utilização do instituto da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica (disregard of legal entity) e a aplicação dos conceitos relativos à responsabilidade subjetiva, prevista no artigo 186 do Código Civil e responsabilidade objetiva, inserida no artigo 927, parágrafo único, também do Código Civil, tem servido de importante subsídio aos tribunais trabalhistas para a solução de conflitos ali instaurados. Por outro lado, esses mesmos mecanismos que ajudam na difícil tarefa de entrega de uma prestação jurisdicional e tutela do Estado mais efetivas, também servem, muitas vezes, para justificar a condenação indiscriminada de empresas e pessoas em outros casos. O que se vê, portanto, é que os tribunais trabalhista, prescindem da atualização da legislação trabalhista de modo a coibir que a utilização correta de determinados institutos justifique a equivocada aplicação dos mesmos. / The work has the main topic of the analysis of the dimension of responsibilities on economic groups, as well as its interpretation pursuant Labor Courts. It seeks to understand the extension of obligations imposed to the groups and persons who composed them and above all, how the Courts has been decided those questions regard this topic. The topics involving Economic Groups have been treated by several ways and aspects by our law. Each fields of our parental right address the question using its practical truth, nevertheless on real cases the solution of conflicts oftentimes prescind from a more embracing analysis. When the topic comes up quite often imply more than one field, however it is usual to ignore the substance of the institute and the nature of the question to seek the solution only by the point of view of the right involved in. A practical example of this situation is to seek only in the Labor Right the solution of a conflict involving the topic of Economic Group and the dimension of their responsibilities and persons which are composed by, all of it to seek the satisfaction of the employee`s credit believing that Labor Right only serves to the exercise of the complete right of just one agent of social pact. Notwithstanding still persists the tight application of the concept established in the article 2°, § 2° of Consolidated Labor Laws, the Courts, mainly the Labor Courts after the Constitutional Amendment 45, have been adopting the concepts once applied in other fields of right. Application of the institute of the disregard of legal entity and also the concepts of subjective responsibility established by article 186 of the Civil Code and objective responsibility stated at article 927 also of the Civil Code has been used as an important subside for the Labor Courts in order to solve the conflicts presented there. In the other hand, its mechanisms which use to help on the hard task to delivery a more effective jurisdiction and State protection also contribute several time to justify the indiscriminate condemnation of companies and persons in other cases. What can be seen is the labor courts still prescind from the update of labor laws in order to avoid that the right use of certain institutes justify the wrong application of them.

O trabalho se divide em duas partes, sendo a primeira delas, de caráter introdutório, com a pretensão de percorrer, sucintamente, os principais aspectos doutrinários consagrados ao longo do tempo pela ciência jurídica a respeito das pessoas jurídicas. Nesse primeiro impulso, são analisados os diferentes enfoques de conceituação da pessoa jurídica, bem como são delineadas suas remotas origens no Direito Romano. São apontados e discutidos seus requisitos e o momento de seu nascimento, sendo o aspecto fundamental o estudo da capacidade e personalidade da pessoa jurídica, ou seja, sua aptidão para ser sujeito de direitos e obrigações e de exercê-los na ordem civil. Finalmente, aborda-se a transformação, desconsideração e a morte da pessoa jurídica, completando desse modo o seu ciclo vital. A segunda parte se propõe a analisar a (re)presentação da pessoa jurídica, seja por meio de seus órgãos, verificando-se, nesta hipótese, a representação, seja por meio de procuradores, sendo necessário, sob esse aspecto, o estudo do negócio jurídico, do contrato de mandato e da representação, em sua acepção técnica de negócio jurídico autônomo. Assim, é então possível enfrentar o fenômeno da Aparência de Direito ou Teoria da Aparência, sendo desenvolvida sua conceituação, bem como descritos seus requisitos essenciais e os efeitos de sua aplicação. Ao cabo, empreende-se a análise dos principais feitos judiciais levados a julgamento no âmbito do Supremo Tribunal Federal e do Superior Tribunal de Justiça, com a oportunidade de compreender como as Cortes Superiores brasileiras aplicam no caso concreto os institutos e fenômenos teorizados, especialmente a Teoria da Aparência.
