The topic of this thesis is the development of Infraction Law throughout time. The objective of the thesis is to provide a general outline of when the current Czech Law adopted the legislation for infractions and the form the Infraction Law (both procedural and material) took in its later developmental phases. Another objective of the thesis is to determine what changes have been introduced into the Infraction Law throughout time. The sources I used to prepare this thesis were the relevant legal documents specifying the legal regulations of Infraction Law, the available periodical literature, as well as the judicial decisions issued in this legal area. The thesis is divided into six chapters in total. The first chapter defines two of the basic important concepts. The second chapter provides a chart of the development of Infraction Law since its conception in the year 1787 until the formation of the Czechoslovak Republic in the year 1918. This chapter is further subdivided into three sections. The first section describes Infraction Law during its first developmental phase, which is the time its formation took place. The second section presents a map of the development of Infraction Law in the period between 1803 and 1852. Last but not least, the third section is dedicated to the development of...

Civil disputes between doctor and patient in medical healthcare The issue of civil disputes between doctor and patient in medical healthcare is characterized by a high degree of interdependence of substantive and procedural questions. The main issue here is inequality between doctor and patient in their relationship, which is based more on factual inequality than inequality in rights. The patient as consumer and therefore the weaker party has limited access to relevant information concerning the subject of the relationship between doctor and patient. On the other hand, a doctor is a subject which has in its power almost all the relevant information. As can be seen, for a given relationship is characteristic a high degree of inequality of information. This inequality, which arises in the relationship always, is not sufficiently addressed by the substantive regulation and its effects are present in subsequent court proceedings in the form of an information deficit. Intention of this paper is to present the fundamentals of the relationship between physician and patient, the reasons for the information deficit and its consequences in legal proceedings and ways of its compensation. The aim is to assess whether the current regulation is to ensure equality between doctor and patient with emphasis on the...

The whole thesis is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the issue of claims enforcement from the theoretical point of view. There is defined the insolvency pro-ceedings and the ways of it is solution, the typology of claims, review and subsequent satisfaction of claims. The conclusion of the theoretical part of the thesis is a brief com-parison of insolvency proceedings in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The second part of the thesis builds on the previous theoretical knowledge and analyses the process of asserting claims in a real Czech company. The subject of the research is to analyse the methodological processes of the company in the event that the client en-ters into insolvency proceedings. The practical part of the thesis also includes the appli-cation of the claim according to the methodological procedures of the company. Based on the information obtained through application practice in a particular company, the thesis concludes with de lege ferenda proposals with regard to current sources of law.

A presente dissertação consiste em uma análise da aplicabilidade da teoria da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica aos processos administrativos em trâmite perante o Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (CADE). Como parte dessa análise, integra este trabalho um panorama sobre a inserção da teoria da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, bem como uma análise acerca da sua compatibilidade com os princípios aplicáveis ao processo administrativo. A análise ainda perpassa os desafios materiais e processuais da aplicabilidade da desconsideração na esfera administrativa em especial as contribuições decorrentes da processualização da atividade administrativa, da regulamentação do incidente de desconsideração da personalidade jurídica no âmbito do novo código de processo civil e dos entendimentos jurisprudenciais sobre o tema. No primeiro capítulo, foram apresentadas considerações sobre a teoria da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica, no que tange às finalidades, aos efeitos, às repercussões no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro e aos entendimentos jurisprudenciais sobre o tema. No segundo capítulo, foi desenvolvido um estudo em relação à conformação da teoria da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica e os princípios que norteiam o processo administrativo. No terceiro capítulo, a desconsideração é compulsada no âmbito dos processos administrativos para apuração de infração à ordem econômica, em especial no que tange às dificuldades de ordens processual e material enfrentadas pelo CADE. Ao final, foi possível concluir que, a despeito da expansão da utilização da teoria da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica na seara administrativa, no âmbito do direito concorrencial tal tendência não se verifica. As dificuldades relacionadas à obtenção de elementos de prova relacionados às hipóteses previstas no artigo 34 da Lei n.º 12.529/2011 e a existência de outros institutos que permitem a imputação de responsabilidade para além da pessoa jurídica infratora de forma direta, retardaram o desenvolvimento desse instituto no âmbito do direito concorrencial. / This dissertation aims at analysing the aplicability of the disregard doctrine in administrative proceedings before the Administrative Council of Economic Defense´s (namely CADE). As part of such analysis, this work includes an overview of the insertion of the disregard doctrine in the Brazilian legal system, as well as an evaluation on the doctrine\'s compatibility with the principles applicable to the administrative procedure. It will also be analysed the substantive and procedural challenges posed to the application of the disregard doctrine in the administrative procedure, especially those arising from the proceduralization of the administrative activity; the regulation of the disregard doctrine as an incidental application under the new Code of Civil Procedure; and the case law findings on the matter. In Chapter One, there are considerations concerning the disregard doctrine\'s purposes, effects and impacts on the Brazilian legal system and case law. Chapter Two deals with the conformation of the disregard doctrine to the principles applicable to the administrative law procedure. Chapter Three presents an investigation on the procedural and material difficulties faced by CADE in applying the disregard doctrine to administrative proceedings. In the end, it was concluded that, despite the growing application of the disregard doctrine to administrative proceedings, this trend is not observed under the competition law. The difficulty in obtaining evidence of the infringements provided for in Article 34 of Law No. 12.529/2011 and the existence of other legal mechanisms conveying direct responsibility to others beside the infringing entity slowed the development of the disregard doctrine under the competition law.

This thesis deals with the verification procedure, which is the first part of the preliminary proceeding and thus part of criminal proceedings. The introductory part of the thesis briefly covers basic instruments of the preliminary proceeding including the investigation phase whose knowledge is key to realize the position and importance of the verification procedure in the overall structure of the criminal proceedings. Bodies that are involved in the criminal proceedings are discussed including their definition, organization and determination of their competence in the verification procedure. The core of the thesis is divided into several parts that deal with the analysis of the verification procedure as well as activities that precede the formal beginning of the criminal proceedings. The ways are discussed by which bodies become aware of offences as well as the first steps of the police authority in the unofficial phase that precedes the criminal proceedings. The core part of the thesis also looks at the prosecutor's and especially police authority's powers that are typical of this phase and whose records are not directly admissible as evidence before court. On the other hand, exceptional cases are also discussed where the evidence must be executed in this phase with specific focus on the...
