This study determines the impact of ESTA on estate planning. The researcher indicates the extent to which ESTA alters the traditional property concept and analyses the practical implications of ESTA on estate planning. It appears, from the research that the traditional property concept has developed to include rights in property which are inferior to traditional ownership. The land reform process creates new rights which are afforded constitutional protection. These new rights create tension between land owners' perception of what their ownership entails, and the reality. The writer attempts to indicate that estate planning may minimize the possible disadvantages of ESTA. / Thesis (LL.M. (Estate Law))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.

In the new Civil Code, which will come into force on 1 January 2014, comparative advertising will be slightly modified and regulated by the provision § 2980. The regulation of unfair competition in the Czech Republic is greatly influenced by the Act against unfair competition of 1927, whose general clause made it possible to affect subjects acting contrary to the rules of...

ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY FROM UNLAWFUL POSSESSOR In my diploma thesis I deal with the issue of the acquisition of property from unlawful possessor as an exception to the traditional civil law principle nemo plus iuris ad alium transferre potest quam ipse habet (also called as nemo dat rule), the principle, which lays down that no one can transfer more rights than he has himself. The topic is extremely actual since as of 1st of January 2014 the Act No. 89/2012 Coll., The Civil Code, which - in comparison to the previous legislation - provides diametric changes in the understanding and in the legislation of the property acquisition from unlawful possessor, became effective.

Each chapter deals with different aspects of acquisition of property from unlawful possessor. In the first introductory part I give my thesis some theoretical fundamentals and define basic terminology used in this paper: property, good faith.
