Invalidity, nullity and ineffectiveness of a resolution of general meeting and other bodies of a limited company Abstract This Master's thesis deals with the issue of invalidity of the resolutions of the general meeting of capital companies in the applicable private law of the Czech Republic. The introduction of this Master's thesis covers the historical development of legislation concerning the general regulation of the limited liability company and the joint stock company with a certain focus on good morals and the invalidity of the resolutions of the general meeting of the capital companies in the territory of the Czechoslovak Republic and its successor state departments. Chapter on the legal nature of the resolutions of the general meeting follows on from this historical definition. Similarly as in the case of historical development, legal nature of the resolutions of general meeting is first addressed in historical context, more specifically before the year 2014. The purpose of this analysis is to define the basic theoretical assumptions, which are also applicable to the legal nature of the resolutions of the general meeting at the time of applicability of the Civil Code and the Business Corporations Act. The chapter is concluded with a finding that the change in the legal nature of the resolutions of...

The diploma thesis, Selected Problems of Maintenance with Particular Focus on Good Morals, deals with legal matters of maintenance mainly in connection to the aspect of good morals (boni mores) which represents the principal of equity and is the moral extension of legal provisions under the law of the Czech Republic. The purpose of the thesis is to identify the most frequent issues that are being dealt with and describe their legal solution in accordance with the legislation valid and effective till the end of 2013 and under the new legislation after the recodification of the Czech civil law, effective from the 1st of January 2014. The doctrine of boni mores and legal provisions regarding maintenance have both met some changes in terms of interpretation and application since the recodification. Maintenance and good morals are researched together, they are researched one in connection to the other one, in this diploma thesis because the previous legislation established a special linkage between them which resulted in a considerable amount of case law that needs to be revisited. The thesis is divided into 5 chapters which are further divided into subchapters. The first chapter is focused on the theoretical basis of the doctrine of boni mores, the role it plays in the Czech legal system, the meaning...

1 Abstract This thesis deals with the principles of good morals and public order focusing on their role function as limits restricting the autonomy of the will. Although both principles are vague legal concepts, this thesis doesn't seek to define exactly not even cover all the practical possibilities of their application. The aim of the thesis was to bring the possible content of these principles and to highlight their importance in assessing the validity of legal actions or to specify further consequences of legal conduct, which would be contrary to these principles. The view on this topic is primarily from the Czech law perspective. On exemplary and a limited number of legal institutes, this thesis tries to capture the possibilities of using good manners and public order as correctives of autonomy of will. The thesis is divided into eight chapters. The theme of the first chapter is the principle of autonomy of the will and its position in the Czech legal order. Such introduction was begun for the purpose primarily for understanding the whole thesis and to highlight the importance of this principle for the functioning of a democratic society. The second chapter deals with the principle of good morals. Different opinions on the content of this term are closer specified. Furthermore, this section discusses...

Mandatory rules in the Civil Code Abstract The aim of this diploma thesis entitled "Mandatory rules in the Civil Code" is to analyse the mandatory rules in Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code (hereinafter "CC"), in terms of their theoretical definition, the way of their identification and occurrence. The work is therefore systematically divided into three parts. The first part deals with the conceptual and contentual definition of the mandatory rules and defines the differences between the mandatory and non-mandatory rules. Various types of mandatory rules are also discussed, with particular emphasis being placed on analysing the category of so-called relatively mandatory rules. In this part, the author profoundly deals with a division of rules into mandatory and non-mandatory. Moreover, the author discusses the pivotal principle of private law - the principle of autonomy of will. On one hand, this principle mirrors the non-mandatory rules of the Civil Code. On the other hand, it is pointed out to the necessity of limiting the autonomy of the will through the mandatory rules. The second part of the diploma thesis is devoted to the long-standing problem of identifying a mandatory rule. First of all, the legislative techniques used by the legislator for distinguishing mandatory and non-mandatory rules are...

The subject matter of this thesis is the analysis of the Czech pre-WW2 legislation on unfair competition as laid out by the Act on Protection against Unfair Competition 111/1927 Sb. and the vast body of work concerning its interpretation and application as contained in both doctrinal works and especially the case law of the Czechoslovak Supreme Court. The thesis then attempts to thoroughly compare these to the relevant contemporary Czech case law and theoretical works. To achieve this goal, after a thorough preliminary analysis and selection of the relevant sources (especially applicable case law), the thesis lays out the most crucial legal questions and areas of interest in which the current legal doctrine and case law have been influenced by the pre-war era. The thesis contains thorough analysis of provisions containing vague legal terms, such as "good morals of competition", "business relations" or "average consumer" and attempts to put these into the context of legislation, legal doctrine and case law of the first Czechoslovak Republic. Considerable attention is also paid to the relationship between industrial property law and the law on unfair competition. The focus has been put on providing an analysis of the foundations that had shaped the legal thinking of the first Czechoslovak Republic in...

No. of bitstreams: 1 MARCOS JOSE DE OLIVEIRA.pdf: 802056 bytes, checksum: 8a27e473ff22ed92d3e90f49b5ccc5ba (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-03-15 / This work is linked to the Graduate Program in Law, International Relations and Development, the Catholic University of Goiás - PUC / GO, and examines the applicability and admissibility of liability under Brazilian law. It starts with the hypothesis that the liability, permeating social and legal relations have the power to give legal support for the accountability of the agent that causes harm to others who are both situated in the run up to the contract. The interpretation of the law, the doctrinal approach now is part of the challenge that this research has provided us with. There is no legal provision in the civil order that expressly deals with defining, sanctioning and regulating the conduct of those who manage harm to others, even when not required to hire. The admissibility of pre-contractual liability was discussed from the viewpoint of general rules that guide and systematize liability under Brazilian law, precisely because of the absence of explicit rule. As for its applicability that was seen through the prism of the general theory of liability, focusing on their assumptions of admissibility. It was developed following an investigation of the general theory of contracts, with his new principles, as well as the theory of liability, its assumptions and exclusive liability, and finally, the proper analysis of the research object which is linked to civil liability pre-contract. The interpretation of the Civil Code in addition to the assumptions led to a general analysis of abuse of rights, with the vision of the limits imposed by the standard through the prism economic, social, good faith and the morals. Good faith has received particular attention for his role in the foundation of this research, with analysis of their functions, and species characteristics. The present work is focused toward the pre-contractual civil liability, but dedicate two items at the end, to analyze the pre-contractual liability in consumer relations and labor relations. The methodology used to demonstrate the hypothesis of the study was performed using the deductive method of research literature, using the existing theories and doctrines. In the literature we attempted to support the legal dogmatics, always supported by the Brazilian Civil Code, the Code of Consumer Protection, the CLT and the Constitution. / Este trabalho vincula-se ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito, Relações Internacionais e Desenvolvimento, da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás PUC/GO, e analisa a aplicabilidade e admissibilidade da responsabilidade civil no direito brasileiro. Parte-se da hipótese de que a responsabilidade civil, permeando as relações sociais e jurídicas teria o condão de dar o suporte legal para a responsabilização do agente que cause danos a outrem, estando ambos situados na fase que antecede a celebração do contrato. A interpretação da legislação, com o enfoque doutrinário atual é parte do desafio que a presente pesquisa nos facultou. Não há dispositivo legal no ordenamento civil que, de forma expressa trate de definir, sancionar e normatizar a conduta de quem gere danos a outrem, mesmo quando não está obrigado a contratar. A admissibilidade da responsabilidade civil pré-contratual foi analisada sob a ótica das regras gerais que orientam e sistematizam a responsabilidade civil no direito brasileiro, justamente pela ausência de regra expressa. Quanto à sua aplicabilidade esta foi vista pelo prisma da teoria geral da responsabilidade civil, com enfoque nos seus pressupostos de admissibilidade. Foi desenvolvida uma averiguação da teoria geral dos contratos, com sua nova principiologia, bem como da teoria da responsabilidade civil, seus pressupostos e excludentes de responsabilidade civil, e por fim, a devida análise do objeto da pesquisa que se vincula à responsabilidade civil pré-contratual. A interpretação do Código Civil nos levou a somar aos pressupostos gerais a análise do abuso do direito, com a visão dos limites impostos pela norma sob o prisma econômico, social, pela boa-fé e pelos bons costumes. A boa-fé recebeu uma atenção especial por seu papel relevante na fundamentação da presente pesquisa, com a análise de suas funções, espécies e características. O presente trabalho tem seu foco voltado para a responsabilidade pré-contratual civil, mas dedicamos dois itens, ao final, para analisar a responsabilidade pré-contratual nas relações de consumo e nas relações de trabalho. A metodologia utilizada para demonstrar as hipóteses do trabalho foi realizada através do método de pesquisa dedutivobibliográfico, utilizando as doutrinas e teorias já existentes. Além da pesquisa bibliográfica buscou-se apoio na dogmática jurídica, com sustentação no Código Civil Brasileiro, no Código de Defesa do Consumidor, na CLT e na Constituição Federal.

Bank demand guarantees have become an established part of international trade. Demand guarantees, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit are all treated as autonomous contracts whose operation will not be interfered with by courts on grounds immaterial to the guarantee or credit itself. The idea in the documentary credit transaction/demand guarantee transaction is that if the documents (where applicable) presented are in line with the terms of the credit/guarantee the bank has to pay, and if the documents do not correspond to the requirements, the bank must not pay. However, over the years a limited number of exceptions to the autonomy principle of demand guarantees and letters of credit have come to be acknowledged and accepted in practice. In certain circumstances, the autonomy of demand guarantees and letters of credit may be ignored by the bank and regard may be had to the terms and conditions of the underlying contract. The main exceptions concern fraud and illegality in the underlying contract. In this thesis a great deal of consideration has been given to fraud and illegality as possible grounds on which payment under demand guarantees and letters of credit have been attacked (and sometimes even prevented) in the English, American and South African courts. It will be shown that the prospect of success depends on the law applicable to the demand guarantee and letter of credit, and the approach a court in a specific jurisdiction takes. At present, South Africa has limited literature on demand guarantees, and the case law regarding the grounds upon which payment under a demand guarantee might be prevented is scarce and often non-existent. In South Africa one finds guidance by looking at similar South African case law dealing with commercial and standby letters of credit and applying these similar principles to demand guarantees. The courts, furthermore, find guidance by looking at how other jurisdictions, in particular the English courts, deal with these issues. Therefore, how the South African courts currently deal/should be dealing/probably will be dealing with the unfair and fraudulent calling of demand guarantees/letters of credit is discussed in this thesis. / Jurisprudence / LL.D
