Contentious issues of necessary defence in judicial practise The subject of this thesis is necessary defence in Czech criminal law. Necessary defence is defined as an action which is usually considered illegal but because it is made in defence against an imminent or persistent attack on values protected by criminal law, it is not considered a crime. The law also states that the intensity of this defence cannot be clearly and obviously disproportionate to the form of the attack. This thesis focuses primarily on contentious issues that courts often deal with when they interpret and apply necessary defence in real cases. Before focusing on contentious issues this thesis first describes the basics of necessary defence. Since necessary defence is one of the circumstances excluding liability in Czech criminal law, this thesis first briefly describes these circumstances. In the next section the thesis focuses on the conditions and limits of necessary defence as they are defined in criminal law. Necessary defence is comprised of an attack and a corresponding defensive action. This section first focuses on the obligatory attributes of the attack and then on the conditions of the defence. Next this section describes the consequences of violating the limits of necessary defence and then it focuses on putative...

Disputed Issues of the Necessary Defence in Judicial Practice Abstract The thesis focuses on the issue of necessary defense in the Czech legal system, especially on the analysis and solution of the disputed queries that arrise when applying and interpreting this issue with respect to legal regulations. The main attention is dedicated to judicial decisions, however, some of the disputable issues addressed in the criminal law theory are not neglected. The thesis is composed of six chapters, together with the chapter of the Introduction which provides the basic definition of the issue and the main purpose of the work, and the Conclusion, which presents the final reflections on the findings and concludes the work. The First Chapter deals with general basics of criminal liability, focusing in particular on the concept of illegality, since the necessary defense is among the circumstances excluding illegality, which at the same time represents a reason for excluding the criminal liability of the acting person. The very circumstances excluding criminal liability are briefly mentioned and listed in Chapter Two. The purpose of the Third Chapter was to characterize the concept of extreme distress and to distinguish it from essential elements of the necessary defence which represents its privileged case. The main part...

This thesis aims to describe a phenomenon of judicial law-making in 21st century. The thesis is concerned with two main issues, specifically the binding effect of prior judicial decisions and the boundaries of judicial authority in law-making. The thesis begins with a description of essential terms and it focuses especially on a type of judicial decisions-making, which results in not following plain and clear language of the applicable statute. A judge is not free in his choice when to avoid the language of the statute. He is limited by values embedded in law by legislator, which he cannot exceed and extend. Therefore this activity is deemed to be a method of selecting an applicable legal norm, not creation of new law. The thesis further explains when not following plain and clear language of the applicable statute can be in reasonable cases justifiable. This part is followed by specific parts dealing with the particular forms of the judicial law-making within the bounds of two legal systems - common law and civil law. In the conclusion the paper draws a comparison between the judicial law- making in mentioned legal systems. The thesis concludes that there is a difference between the systems in the concept of bindingness of prior judicial decisions. Yet, both systems reach the stability of court...

Nárok na odpočet daně z přidané hodnoty je jedním z pilířů zajišťujících neutralitu daně z přidané hodnoty. Proto je harmonizace pravidel pro uplatnění nároku na odpočet daně v rámci Evropského společenství nezbytná. Cílem práce je zhodnotit míru harmonizace pravidel pro uplatnění nároku na odpočet daně ve vybraných zemích Evropského společenství s evropskými pravidly a také porovnat rozdíly v uplatňování nároku na odpočet daně mezi těmito vybranými státy. Oblastmi, na které je tato práce zaměřena, jsou základní pravidla pro odpočet daně včetně souvisejících administrativních požadavků a následné korekce nároku na odpočet daně ve vybraných členských státech Evropského společenství. Těmito státy jsou Česká republika, Slovensko, Estonsko, Německo a Velká Británie.

Práce analyzuje postavení obce jako veřejnoprávního subjektu v zákoně o DPH, především vymezuje situace, za nichž je obec považována za osobu povinnou k dani. Tuzemská právní úprava je porovnána se směrnicí ES. Na základě zjištěných poznatků je analyzováno hospodaření města Čáslav s cílem zhodnotit, zda město Čáslav, které není plátcem DPH, může počítat s udržením tohoto statusu i do budoucna, nebo zda by městu mohla vzniknout povinnost zaregistrovat se za plátce DPH.

Vytvoření jednotného vnitřního trhu je jedním z hlavních cílů Evropské unie. Daně a tedy i přímé daně mohou vytvářet překážky fungování jednotného trhu a mohou být diskriminační. Proto je nutná jejich harmonizace. U přímých daní hovoříme o negativní harmonizaci založené na odstraňování diskriminačních opatření pomocí rozsudků Evropského soudního dvora. Práce popisuje postavení ESD, způsob jeho rozhodování a dopad jeho rozsudků z oblasti přímých daní na členské státy. Klade si za cíl ověřit základní tezi, že soudy členských států a následně i zákonodárná moc zohledňují při své činnosti v oblasti přímých daní judikaturu ESD.

This thesis was focused on the influence of the tax practice of the courts on the assessment of a tax and the retrospective assessment in the Czech Republic. The purpose was to find out if the present law about the tax and fees administration is a sufficient procedural tax norm and if the existing practice of the courts provides us by its interpretation and integral attitude with reasonable juristic certainty of the tax subjects as well as the tax administrator when in the assessment of a tax and retrospective assessment process. Furthermore the new procedural norm which is just being approved these days in law area was examined: if it brings more suitable legal regulations in the selected areas and if it takes into account the conclusions of the practice of the courts. Finally the conclusions which confirmed expectations in the beginning of this thesis were made. The tax administration law can't act as the basic tax norm because its actual reading contains too many deficiencies. Thereunto from the downright analysis arises that the practice of the courts, which is disunited in its resolutions, for ensuring the integral and right procedure of tax assessment and retrospective assessment can't act. The present situation could be improved by coming into enter be of the new procedural tax law -- The Tax Regulation.
