Administrative Justice in the CSR in the Years 1918 - 1938 within European context. For my thesis I chose as a topic 'Administrative Justice in the CSR in the Years 1918 - 1938 within European Context', as administrative justice including the protection against illegal interventions of executive power is topical for any democratic state at any time. The purpose of administrative justice is reviewing administrative acts of public administration namely by independent courts. I decided to target my thesis on the period of so-called first republic thus on the period from 28 October 1918 i.e. from establishing the independent Czechoslovak state to 30 September 1938, i.e. the signing of the Munich agreement. After establishing the independent Czechoslovak state The Act on the Supreme Administrative Court and on Solving Competence Litigations was one of the first acts passed by the National Czechoslovak Committee. This year i.e. in 2018 it has been 100 years since constituting administrative justice in the Czechoslovak Republic. However, when the Czechoslovak Republic came into being administrative justice was not formed from scratch, but by the above mentioned Act on Administrative Justice and Solving Competence Litigations Austrian administrative justice was adopted. During the first republic, however,...

Proceeding of Action against Decision of Administrative Authority Abstract The subject-matter of this dissertation thesis is the analysis of the legislation providing protection to public subjective rights in proceeding of action against the decision of an administrative body defined in Code of Administrative Justice, and assessment as to whether the protection provided to public subjective rights by the legislation is sufficient, including certain recommendations of possible changes. The basic method applied consists of the logical methods in combination with the normative approach, involving a detailed analysis and synthesis of the existing legislation and empirical examination of the offered protection in the problem areas on the basis of past judicial proceedings and also comparison of the discussed concepts with foreign legal regulations. The first model was the "traditional" German administrative justice legislation, which is the legislator's usual source of inspiration. In relation to this issue, one must not also disregard the newly adopted legislation on administrative justice in Slovakia. Even though stemming from the historical roots of the judiciary of the First Czechoslovak Republic, the Slovak approach to a number of concepts is different. The administrative justice system by far exceeds the...

A legally protectable trade secret is secret information which is applicable in trade or industry, in respect of which the owner has the will to keep it secret, which has economic value, and which is concrete enough to be embodied in a tangible form and to exist separately form its owner. A comparative study reveals that while trade secrets can be infringed in three ways - namely unauthorized acquisition, use and disclosure - contemporary legal systems differ in respect of both the ambit and juridical bases of protection against such infringing conduct. The legal protection of trade secrets is promoted by the recognition of a subjective right to the trade secret. This right is an intellectual property right independent of statutory intellectual property rights like patent rights and copyright, the common law intellectual property right to goodwill, and the personality right to privacy. In South African private law, trade secrets can be adequately protected by the application of general delictual and contractual principles. Delictual wrongfulness of trade secret misappropriation is constituted by an infringement of the right to the trade secret. Thus any act that interferes with the powers of use, enjoyment and disposal exercised by someone with a subjective right to that trade secret, is, in the absence of legal grounds justifying such interference, wrongful. Patrim·onial loss caused by both intentional and negligent infringement of trade secrets should be actionable under the actio legis Aquiliae. Wrongful trade secret infringements can - also in the absence of fault on the part of the infringer - be prevented by an interdict. Protection of trade secrets is not restricted to the contexts of either unlawful competition, or fiduciary relationships. Trade secret protection is on a sound footing in South African law, compares favourably with the position in other legal systems, and is in step with the international agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights to which South Africa is a signatory nation. / Private Law / LL.D.

« L'indépendance de la durée de vie d'un droit face à l'érosion qui touche inéluctablement un bien ou une valeur protégée », voilà quelle paraît être la définition la plus révélatrice des droits civils perpétuels en droit français contemporain. Cette dernière ressort d'une analyse au terme de laquelle il semble que le système normatif actuel est peu enclin à reconnaître des droits survivants à leurs titulaires. Pis, les instruments juridiques permettant de circonscrire leur domaine sont nombreux, à l'image du plus efficace d'entre eux : la prescription extinctive. Mais ces instruments restrictifs ne sont pas isolés. La nature même du droit peut porter en elle le germe de sa disparition. C'est alors que sont renversés de vieux préjugés. Les droits réels ne sont pas davantage voués à la perpétuité que ne le sont les droits de la personnalité. En outre, là où la prohibition devrait s'imposer aux droits personnels, certains s'en émancipent en fait. C'est alors que la perpétuité se dévoile dans trois droits civils en particulier : le droit de propriété, le droit moral de l'auteur et le droit au nom. Restreints dans leur nombre, ces droits sont cependant privilégiés dans leur régime. En effet, selon la qualité qu'ils revêtent, ils bénéficient de moyens de mise en œuvre et de protection supplémentaires, comme en témoignent la théorie des droits subjectifs ou la reconnaissance de droits fondamentaux. Selon qu'ils sont interprétés comme les premiers ou les seconds, ou voire même les deux simultanément, leur justiciabilité est clairement renforcée / « The independence of the life span of a right confronted to the erosion which unavoidably affects a belonging or a protected value », here is which seems to be the most revealing definition of perpetual civil rights in contemporary French Law. This definition springs from an analysis which leads us to think that today's normative system is reluctant to admit surviving rights to their holders. Even worse, there are numerous legal instruments which can be used to restrain their fields of activity, like the most efficient of all: negative prescription. However these restrictive instruments are not isolated. The very nature of a right can carry in itself the germ of its own disappearance. This is on these occasions that old prejudices are knocked over. Real rights are not more dedicated to perpetuity than individual rights. Moreover, if prohibition should be imposed on personal rights, in fact some of them manage to do without it. This is when perpetuity appears in three civil rights in particular: the right to property, the author's moral right and the right to the name. Limited in their numbers, these rights however are privileged in their schemes. Indeed, depending on their quality, they benefit from supplementary means of implementation and protection as the theory of subjective rights or the recognition of fundamental rights testify. Whether they are read as the former or the latter or even both simultaneously, their justiciability is clearly reinforced. However the conclusion of the study may be disappointing as, to tell the truth, perpetual rights are sometimes the victims of real incursions on behalf of the lawmaker or the co contracting party

In order to achieve this purpose, it presents the legal structure of class action in Brazil, its substantive and procedural aspects: the dichotomy between interest and right; types of transindividual right, res judicata; standing; and other legal concepts. Moreover, it performs a specific analysis of the emergence of new rights from the transformation of society. It concludes that the homogeneous individual right, as a type of transindividual right characterized by a common origin, is not to be confused with pure individual right, being an autonomous subjective right / Este trabalho tem por objetivo estudar a tutela jurisdicional coletiva no Brasil, com ênfase no direito individual homogêneo. Para tanto, investigam-se os aspectos legais de direito material coletivo no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, tais como: a dicotomia interesse e direito; a titularidade dos direitos transindividuais; e as suas espécies. São também analisados os aspectos processuais do direito coletivo: competência, legitimidade, causa de pedir, pedido e coisa julgada, além da dinâmica da liquidação e da execução. Efetua-se ainda uma abordagem específica sobre o surgimento de novos direitos a partir da transformação da sociedade. Conclui que o direito individual homogêneo, espécie de direito transindividual caracterizado pela origem comum, não se confunde com o direito individual puro, sendo independente deste, constituindo-se em verdadeiro direito subjetivo autônomo

As a substrate of Biolaw, human life will be the conductor element of the speech. After descant over some themes of developmental biology the attention will be diverted to the understanding of the Science of Law as much as Legal Dogmatic as Legal Systematics and then reap the principles that structure the Private Law. Knowing these principles, is the analysis of the discipline of BioLaw and legal situation of BioLaw in order to be able to identify who's your subject; to whom the law imputes rights. Dare, in this step, to match the phenomenology of biology with the institutes of law to identify as a subject of rights, i.e. who is positioned or conditioned by a legal situation of Biolaw, the man since fertilization. Way of consequence, adding to the legal personality to the embryo, from the moment of fertilization / Este estudo busca demonstrar várias possibilidades do conhecimento da vida e, mais especificamente, da vida humana sob seu aspecto biológico. Como substrato do biodireito a vida humana será o elemento condutor do discurso. Após discorrer sobre alguns temas da biologia do desenvolvimento a atenção será desviada para a compreensão da Ciência do Direito tanto como Dogmática como Sistemática Jurídicas para então colher os princípios que estruturam o Direito Privado. Conhecendo estes princípios, passa-se a análise da disciplina do biodireito e da situação jurídica de biodireito com o intuito de se poder identificar quem é o seu sujeito; a quem a ordem jurídica imputa os direitos subjetivos. Ousa-se, neste passo, fazer coincidir a fenomenologia da biologia com os institutos de direito para identificar como sujeito de direitos, ou seja, a quem se encontra posicionado ou condicionado por uma situação jurídica de biodireito, o homem desde a fecundação. Via de consequência, agregando-se a personalidade jurídica ao embrião, desde a fecundação

Dans les tempêtes actuelles des crises économique, migratoire et nationaliste, la consolidation de l’UE semble dépendre plus que jamais de son attachement réel à la démocratie, à l’État de droit, au respect de la dignité humaine et à sa dimension sociale. Si la fondation de l’UE à travers ces principes ne fait plus de doute aujourd’hui au regard de son droit primaire, leur signification, ou plus précisément leur application, paraît encore entachée de contradictions dans les pratiques des institutions européennes. L’application des droits sociaux fondamentaux constitue l’un des défis majeurs dans cette constellation. En effet, «l’Europe sera sociale ou ne sera pas». Cependant, bien que ces droits soient proclamés par l’UE et de nombreux ordres juridiques tant en Europe que dans le monde entier, ils restent souvent perçus comme des droits de la seconde zone par opposition aux droits civils et politiques. Pour expliquer et réagir à cette situation, notre thèse propose une analyse qui combine les aspects théorique et méthodologique du sujet. En adoptant une approche «concrétiste», nous tenterons de montrer que ces droits sont loin d’être les fruits d’une simple intention politique. Tout au contraire, ils ont vocation à structurer le Droit de l’UE : ils confèrent non seulement des droits subjectifs aux particuliers, mais forment aussi un système objectif de valeurs qui détermine le développement de ce Droit. / In the present storms of economic, immigration and nationalist crises, it seems that the strengthening of the EU depends more than ever on its commitment to democracy, rule of law, respect for human dignity and its social dimension. If it is no longer doubtful that the EU is founded by these principles through its primary law, their signification – or more exactly their implementation – is still disturbed by the contradictions in the practices of European institutions. The implementation of fundamental social rights is one of the major challenges in this situation. Indeed, “Europe will be social or there shall be no Europe”. Although these rights are proclaimed by EU law and other legal systems in Europe and around the world, they are still treated as rights of a secondary zone, in contrast with civil and political rights. In order to study this contrast, my thesis proposes a theoretical and methodological approach. By using a “concretistic” method, this thesis would argue that these rights cannot be reduced to political declarations. On the contrary, they have the mission to structure EU law, since they not only vest individuals with rights, but also constitute an objective system of values which determines the development of EU law.

This thesis investigates the role of prior use in common and statutory trade mark law. In the United States a pertinent requirement is priority of use. In the United Kingdom and South Africa, a reputation must be present. In the United Kingdom a plaintiff is required to have goodwill in the country, but in the United States and South Africa it is not required. The conception of a mark does not qualify for protection. It is not required that a business must have actually entered the market. In the United States the general approach is that a plaintiff will not receive protection in a remote area, but regard must be had to zones of natural expansion. British and South African law is the same, and protection may be obtained in areas where there is no trading. Where a dual reputation exists, neither party will be able to act against the other. The mere fact that the user of a mark was aware of the use thereof by another person, does not exclude protection. A trade mark application can be opposed on the basis of another application, combined with use of a mark, or on the ground of prior use. In some instances the fact that a mark has been filed will influence the burden of proof. In general, a registration can be expunged on the same grounds as would constitute grounds of opposition. The concurrent use of a mark can form the basis for the registration of a mark. In the United States, the use must have taken place prior to the filing date of the other party, but in the United Kingdom and South Africa, prior to the own filing date. In the latter two countries, knowledge of a mark is not necessarily exclusionary. Prior use is generally accepted as a defence to an infringement action. It is, however, noted that in various countries, it is only use prior to the relevant date that will be protected, and there is not necessarily a right to extend the scope of use concerned. / Mercantile Law / LL.D.

A patent is an intellectual property right granted as a reward for the labours of the inventor so as to commercially exploit the invention in return for disclosure of the invention. The benefits of the patent system find perfect expression in the employment situation since the employer is better equipped to exploit the invention through provision of resources and capital whereas the employee is provided with an opportunity to develop his technical know-how. A comparative study of the laws pertaining to employee inventions in the United Kingdom, Federal Republic of Germany and the United States of America reveals a variety of approaches to the subject of employee inventions. The approach of the South African law on the subject is inadequate and legal reform is a necessity. The recommendations for such reform encapsulates a blend of the best features of each of the three national approaches to employee inventions. / Mercentile Law / LL. M. (Law)
