Non-existence as a new institution of Czech law Abstract The aim of the thesis is to examine the institute of non-existence which is new in the Czech law. Therefore, the beginning of the thesis is arranged in order to make clear the chronological development of civil law in terms of wrongful conduct and/or wrongful legal act sanctions. Historically, the General Civil Code (ABGB) is of particular relevance. ABGB was an important civil code not only on our territory but also in Austria and other countries of the former Habsburg Monarchy. While the original text of this Code sanctioned wrongful legal acts by invalidity ("Ungültigkeit"), the 1916 amendment introduced another term into the Code, taken from the German Civil Code (BGB), and namely "Nichtigkeit". Although this term means "invalidity" as well, it was mistakenly translated into Czech by the word "nicotnost" (literally "nothingness" in English). In the thesis, the legal situation in the period from 1948 till 2014 is discussed briefly, mentioning in particular the Family Act which, commencing from 1998, included, in addition to the term "invalidity" (of marriage), also the term "non-existence" (of marriage) stating that no marriage is formed in these cases. The following part of the thesis deals with the applicable law. The problems of legal act, its...

Objectionability and relative ineffectiveness The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the notion of relative ineffectiveness, the institute of private law, which serves as a protection of the creditor against the certain legal acts of his debtor. This institute was known as objectionability before the new civil code came into effect. The aim of this paper is to explain the importance of relative ineffectiveness and to distinguish this institute from the sanctions of the defective legal act. The first chapter of my thesis deals with the notion of legal act and its elements which are essential for the existence of the valid and effective legal act. The subsequent parts examine the results of the situations in which the requirements to elements of legal act are not fulfilled. The chapter Two deals with the defects of legal act causing its nonexistence. The following chapter Three concerns the sanction of invalidity and the chapter Four explains the notion of ineffectiveness. The explanation of those sanctions is important for its mutual differentiation and for the subsequent analysis of the institute of relative ineffectiveness, because only valid and effective legal act can be pronounced by court as relatively ineffective. After analysis of different types of sanctions of defective legal act, the...

Legal acts aimed at the termination of employment Abstract The aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive picture of the current and future new regulations on legal acts leading to the termination of employment. The thesis consists of seven chapters, each of them dealing with different issues. The first chapter is devoted to legal acts in general, to the employment relationship and its termination. It specifies what a legal act is and defines its requisites. The definition of the employment relationship and its termination are dealt with in its two subchapters. The second chapter concentrates on one of the legal acts leading to the termination of employment - the mutual termination agreement. This chapter consists of two subchapters, the first one specifying the requisites of the mutual termination agreement, the second one containing a concluding interpretation of this kind of agreement. The third chapter is devoted to the notice of termination of employment, the unilateral legal act resulting in the termination of the employment relationship. This chapter contains five subchapters. The first one deals with the notice period, mainly with its length, its course and its regulation in the conceptual amendment to the Czech Labour Code. The second subchapter concentrates on the notice of termination of...

Non-existence as a new legal institution of Czech law This paper deals with non-existence as a legal insitution that has been added to the traditional consequence of defective legal acts - invalidity - during the recodification of Czech private law. The aim of this diploma thesis is to comprehensively analyse the legal institution of non-existence. The paper is divided into eight chapters, the introduction and the conclusion. For the purpose of analysing non-existence comprehensively the paper focuses also on systematic explanation of legal acts themselves. The first chapter brings the definition of legal act, deals with different ways to enter into legal acts as well as forms of legal acts provided by law or by agreement of contracting parties. The second chapter focuses on describing the principles of legal act whilst aiming especially on manifestation of will as the essence of legal act. Besides that this chapter deals with creation of legal acts and their legal effects. The chapter three defines the four essential elements of legal acts - the elements of subject, the elements of will, the elements of manifestation of will and the elements of the object of legal acts. The fourt chapter continues with description of legal acts that suffer from defect in one or more of their essential elements,...

Relative ineffectivenes of legal act The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the relative ineffectiveness as a special institute of private law. The Act No. 89/2012 Sb., the Civil code, is using a new term "relative ineffectiveness" instead of "objectionability", which was used by the Act No. 40/1964 Sb., the Civil code. The relative ineffectiveness of legal act serves as a protection for credtiros from being unlawfully shorten on their rights by their debtors. The aim of this thesis is to explain a practical side and an importance of this institute. The thesis is composed of four chapters which are divided into subchapters. The core of the thesis lies in chapters 3 and 4. The first chapter of this thesis deals with the general term of legal acts and its elements which are fundamental for the existence, validity and effectiveness of legal acts. In this first chapter the author explains the main requirements of legal acts. In case some of the reguirements are missing, the civil code states a possible sanctions - an absolute and relative invalidity of legal act. The explanation of these sanctions is significant for their mutual differentiation and also for the follow-up analysis of the institute of relative ineffectiveness. The second chapter of this thesis deals with the whole history of the relative...

This thesis deals with the union between the most modern communication channel yet - the Internet, and private international law. This relationship is not accidental, because the Internet provides a means through which subjects are able to communicate with each other across the world. In its simplest definition, the Internet can be defined as a worldwide system of interconnected computer networks. However, from a legal perspective - the Internet is not a legal subject in its own right, it does not have any legal obligations and therefore does not exist. The Internet is however, undoubtable a part of our every day lives. The initial focus of Internet legislation was only on the technical aspects. However as the number of Internet users has grown, the need for more specialized legislation also has. Often this specialization is assembled through the interpretation of existing laws. This thesis provides a detailed mapping of such private international laws and Internet law - which should be regarded as a separate legal specialization. It is found that the Czech Constitution and other constitutional laws provide a base for private international law at the country level; The Act on Private International Law and Rules of Procedure also provides legislation, which may be regarded as specialized. At the...

The main goal of this thesis is to provide coherent, comprehensible and transparent view on the issues of termination of basic employment relationships by unilateral legal act, it is based on relevant legal rules (including relevant case law on to this issue). Although this institute was the principal topic of this work, I considered it necessary to pay attention to other questions which are connected with termination of basic employment relationships. In my thesis I tried to focus on individual forms of termination of employment relationship, but I also included the issue of employment relationship itself, labor law in general, and I tried to show that this law, as well as entire legislation of the Czech Republic is in harmony with sources of various international organizations and legislation of the European Union.

A presente dissertação tem como objetivo central analisar a incidência dos princípios da boa-fé e da função social em cada plano do negócio jurídico (existência, validade e eficácia), proporcionando uma ampla e detalhada visão do fenômeno contratual, que possui a característica de se reinventar e se particularizar conforme o contexto econômico-social que o permeia. Para tanto, o caminho metodologicamente escolhido perpassa pela funcionalidade da teoria do fato jurídico, que serve de apoio à compreensão da natureza jurídica dos mecanismos da proposta e aceitação, formulando categorias de grupos contratuais alicerçados, em regra, na hipossuficiência de uma das partes. Tais grupos (contratos clássicos ou paritários, contratos civis por adesão, contratos de consumo e contratos existenciais) revelam palpável importância, pois estabelecem, com alguma frequência, níveis diversos de condicionamento nas ponderações do princípio da autonomia privada com os princípios da boa-fé e da função social. Assim, a partir desses subsídios, almeja-se atingir uma sistematização, melhor possibilitando a alocação de temas contratuais, como a compreensão da reserva mental, o adimplemento substancial, a supressio/surrectio, a realização de negócios por incapazes, as cláusulas abusivas, a expansão dos efeitos perante terceiros, dentre vários outros. Nesse pesar, como suporte, trabalha-se sempre com os planos do negócio jurídico. Por mais que a matéria seja bastante difundida, revisitar o direito contratual nunca é despropositado pela riqueza que lhe é inerente, seja em função da possibilidade de enfrentar antigos problemas através de novas formas, seja simplesmente pelo surgimento de novos problemas que demandam prontas soluções. / The present work is focused on analyzing the incidence of the principles of good faith and the social function on each sphere of the legal act theory (the existence, the validity and the effectiveness), providing a wide and detailed overview of the contractual phenomenon, which is able of reinventing and particularizing itself according to the socialeconomic context permeating it. For such, the methodology chosen pervades the functionality of the legal fact theory, which supports the comprehension of the legal nature of the mechanisms of the offer and acceptance, formulating categories of contractual groups grounded, as a rule, in the hiposufficiency of one of the parties. Such groups (classic or joint contracts, civil contracts by adhesion, consumer contracts and existential contracts) reveal tangible importance, because they establish, quite often, different levels of conditioning in the deliberations on the principle of private autonomy with the principles of good faith and social function. Therefore, the goal is to reach a systematization, better enabling the allocations of contractual issues, such as the understanding of mental reservation, substantial performance, the suprecio/surrectio, the exercise of business by the incapable, abusive terms, the expansion of effects before third parties, among several others. In this regard, as support, one always works within the legal act theory. As much as the matter is widespread, revisiting the contractual right is never unreasonable given the affluence inherent to it, either due to the possibility of facing old problems under new perspectives or simply due to the rise of new problems that demand prompt solutions.

The Peruvian Civil Code commemorates its thirty years of existence. Some of its rules’content is clear, while some other rules are –in the words of the author– dark andquestionable.  One of these controversial rules in its meaning and application is that contained in article 226 of the Code, relatedwith a person’s legal capacity.In this article, the author makes a historical and comparative analysis of such article, to then approach the problems contained in it, contrasting their role in the current social reality and verifying if such figure is still useful in our legal system. / El Código Civil peruano cumple treinta años de vigencia. Algunas de sus disposiciones son claras respecto a su contenido y otras son –en palabras del autor– oscuras y discutibles. Una de las normas controvertidas en su significado y aplicación es la contenida en el artículo 226del Código, relacionado con la capacidad jurídica de la persona.En este artículo, el autor realiza un análisis histórico-comparativo del mencionado artículo, para luego abordar los problemas en él contenidos, contrastar su función en la realidad social actual y verificar si tal figura es aun útil en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico.
