The goal of the Thesis is to analyze the issue that is related to the extinction of the rights and obligations of business relations. Trading obligations are very specific group of legal relations. Without them it is imposible to imagine a faultless performance and successful business. The author in this thesis attempts to address all relevant aspects of the topic. To achieve the above objectives, the author intends to use a particular method of interpretation of legal norms. This method will be complemented by an authentic interpretation of legal norms, doctrinal interpretation, legal interpretation or the relevant case law. Analysis of these areas can conclude that there is a large area in terms of legislation and legal theory, systematic non-uniform. One of the main complexities of contract law, the author sees in the dualism legislation. From the available case law of the Supreme Court or Superior Courts may conclude that in most practical application of legal problems arose on the fulfillment of commitments and cancellation. These are the most frequent reasons for termination of the legal obligations. Another finding is the inconsistency of terminology and the Civil Commercial Code.

Thesis that pursues theme of employing people with disabilities is divided into three chapters. In the first chapter is given who belongs between disabled people, when employers are obliged to employ such people and what is mandatory quota of such people. The second chapter deals with employing people with disabilities and events that forego employing - such as education and talks with authorities. The third chapter deals with kinds of employment that are supported by the state.

The purpose of this essay is to increase the understanding of the discussion of political obligation. This concern the questions if, how, and to what extent people are required to obey state commands. More specifically the purpose is to increase the understanding of one of the topics main theories, the natural duty of justice. This account states that people have a natural duty to comply with just institutions that apply to them, independent of any voluntary actions.  For this a discourse surrounding the theory has been examined and evaluated. It consists of Rawls argument for the theory, a criticism formulated by Simmons, and a defence formulated by Waldron. Rawls argues that for a just society to be stable, the natural duty of justice is necessary, and also sufficient for basing political obligations. Simmons criticises this account for dispensing of voluntary actions that he sees as necessary for political obligation. Without these, the application of just institutions is morally insignificant. Waldron then defends the account by adding additional requirements for institutions to apply, besides justice. Institutions also have to be effective, in the sense that they are able to enact justice, and legitimate in the sense that they are preferable to other alternatives.  I will argue that justice of institutions is necessary but insufficient for them to apply to people. Voluntary actions like consent will also be argued to be unnecessary for institutions application to be morally significant. If institutions are not only just but also effective and legitimate, in the sense that they are the most just and effective in relation to the viable alternatives, then their application and commands has moral significance. The conclusion of this essay then is that the natural duty of justice can account for political obligations, given high demands for institutions to apply.

The present study examined the impact of adultification on the mental health of Chinese immigrant young adults. Given the emphasis of Chinese cultural norms on interdependence and filial piety, I also explored whether family obligation attitudes influence how Chinese immigrant young adults perceive adultification experiences. Findings indicated that family obligation attitudes have a moderating effect on adultifcation when adultification plays a mediating role between acculturative stress and psychological distress, and on the well-being of Chinese immigrant young adults. The findings suggested that Chinese immigrant offspring who hold very traditional familial attitudes and are highly committed to family obligations tend to reinforce the effect of acculturative stress on adultification, although acculturative stress did not significantly predict adultification experiences. In addition, the findings also indicated that when adultification experiences were at the highest level, they served to strengthen the effect of acculturative stress on mental health outcomes. According to the study findings, taking the cultural value of the emphasis on Chinese family obligation into consideration when interpreting adultification experiences and its impact on the mental health outcomes among Chinese immigrant young adults is crucial. / Ph.

L’aggravation des besoins en matière de vieillesse, de dépendance, de handicap, d’isolement et d’exclusion en général, exacerbe les tensions entre solidarités familiales et solidarités collectives. Partout, la crise des solidarités inquiète : crise des solidarités familiales d’une part, en raison de l’individualisme et de la liberté qui fragilisent les responsabilités familiales, crise des solidarités collectives d’autre part, au regard des difficultés économiques et sociales de l’État-providence. L’articulation entre la solidarité familiale et la solidarité collective est une question centrale des politiques sociales et familiales menées par les États modernes. Le discours contemporain témoigne d’une redécouverte des solidarités familiales et d’une mise en valeur de la fonction économique de la famille, au travers des institutions juridiques de l’obligation alimentaire et de la transmission du patrimoine. L’attention portée aux solidarités de proximité vise à pallier la fragilisation des dispositifs de protection issus de la solidarité collective, ici entendue comme l’ensemble des aides sociales et des prestations non contributives de sécurité sociale. L’articulation de la solidarité familiale et de la solidarité collective interroge le législateur sur la place respective à assigner à la famille et à l’État dans la prise en charge de la personne dans le besoin. Cette étude propose de mettre en évidence le glissement d’un système d’articulation édifié sur la subsidiarité de la solidarité collective par rapport à la solidarité familiale vers un modèle fondé sur la complémentarité de la solidarité familiale et de la solidarité collective. Dans cette perspective, la thèse se propose d’étudier l’impact sur les solidarités familiales, des recours et des récupérations exercés par la collectivité contre les débiteurs alimentaires et les transmissions patrimoniales. / The increasing needs related to old age, dependency, disability, loneliness and more broadly exclusion leads to a tension’s exacerbationbetween family solidarities and collective solidarities. The solidarity crisis is a matter of concern as we observea familial solidarities crisis created by individualism and freedom leading to a weakening of familial liabilities and a collective solidarities crisis created by the welfare state’s economic difficulties. Thus, balance between familial and collective solidarities is a key issue regarding social policies conducted by modern States. The contemporary vision brings up the idea of a rediscovery of familial solidarities and an increasing role given to the economic role of the family through legal institutions such as the maintenance obligation and the assets transmission. The attention given to local solidarities tends to correct the weakening of collective solidarities, defined as the set of social supports and free social security benefits. The balance between familial solidarities and collective solidarities brings lawmaker to re think the role of State and family in regards of a person in need. This study demonstrates that solidarities are drifting from a system balanced by the subsidiarity between collective solidarity and familial solidarity to a new model based on complementarity between familial and collective solidarity. From that perspective, this thesis assesses the impact of familial solidarities, remedies and recoveries used by collectivities against food debtors and transmission of assets.

La volonté et l’exécution forcée de l’obligation apparaissent comme deux notions opposées : l’une renvoie à l’idée de liberté, alors que l’autre fait écho à celle de contrainte. Elles entretiennent pourtant des liens étroits. Ceux-ci ne sont pas à chercher dans le fondement du droit à l’exécution forcée dont le créancier est titulaire, et ce même lorsque l’obligation sur laquelle porte ce droit est née d’un accord de volontés. Si la volonté constitue un critère de définition de l’exécution forcée, son influence se manifeste surtout lors du régime de cette sanction. Elle intervient, en premier lieu, comme élément déclencheur, lors de la mise en œuvre des droits que la loi confère au créancier en cas d’inexécution de l’obligation. Elle est, en second lieu, susceptible de jouer un rôle en amont lors de l’aménagement conventionnel du droit à l’exécution forcée de l’obligation. Cette double influence de la volonté sur le prononcé de l’exécution forcée risque de porter atteinte aux intérêts des parties, ainsi qu’à des valeurs et principes supérieurs : les libertés et droits fondamentaux et la loyauté. Un contrôle judiciaire de la volonté, révélant les limites à l’influence de la volonté, doit ainsi être réalisé. Il assure la conciliation, d’une part, de l’utilité sociale de l’obligation, que sert le droit à l’exécution forcée, et de la liberté contractuelle avec, d’autre part, les libertés et droits fondamentaux et la loyauté. C’est à une juste conciliation de ces exigences, ainsi qu’à un encadrement du droit à l’exécution forcée et de son aménagement conventionnel auxquels aboutit l’étude de l’exécution forcée appréhendée sous l’angle de la volonté. / Willingness and specific performance may seem opposed, because the first one refers to freedom while the second one to constraint. Yet, willingness and specific performance are strongly linked. Those links are not to be found in the grounds of the creditor’s specific performance right, even if the obligation on which this right is based comes from an agreement between the parties. While willingness is a criterion used to define specific performance, it especially expresses its influence when it comes to the regime of this sanction. Firstly, willingness influences, as a trigger, the implementation of the rights given by the law to the creditor in case of unperformed obligation. Secondly, it is likely to have a role to play upstream when parties contractually agree on an arrangement of the obligation specific performance’s right.This double influence of willingness on specific performance imposition is likely to affect both party interests and greater value and principles such as individual fundamental rights and freedoms and loyalty. A judicial assessment of willingness, which would highlight the limits of willingness influence, must be carried out. It would combine on the one hand the social utility of obligation - which is provided by specific performance - and freedom of contract with, on the other hand, fundamental rights and freedoms and loyalty. This study on specific performance, viewed from a willingness perspective, results in providing a framework for both the specific performance right and its contractual arrangement as well as a fair conciliation of those requirements.
