This thesis deals with the various manners of termination of an employment relationship according to the laws of the Czech Republic and compares them with the legal regulation of the same or similar manners of termination of an employment relationship in the laws of the Austrian Republic. The thesis is divided into four main parts. The first part deals with the system of Austrian employment regulations. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to the concept of termination of an employment relationship in general and it divides the ways of termination of employment relationship into two basic groups; in particular, the first group is termination of employment relationship based on legal acts and the second group is termination of employment relationship based on legal event. Further, the second part of this thesis discusses the terms employer and employee. The third part of this thesis is devoted to individual legal acts based on which in the Austrian and Czech laws an employment relationship can be terminated which is a termination agreement, termination by notice, immediate cancellation of an employment relationship, respectively exit from employment relationship (in German: Austritt) and dismissal from employment (in German: Entlassung), cancellation of employment relationship during a...

During the 1990s Yugoslavia and Rwanda were swept by wars accompanied by serious violations of international humanitarian law. Grave and severe crimes wiped away lives and destroyed properties. The United Nations Security Council determined that the violations committed constituted threats to international peace and security, declaring itself empowered to take action. It established international ad hoc criminal tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda with the mandate of prosecuting individuals responsible for those crimes as an enforcement measure under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. Investigating the tribunals’ effectiveness enables one to assess whether they achieved the anticipated outcomes based on the tribunals’ mission, goals, and objectives without creating other problems. The research relies on naturalism and positivism to put the tribunals in a moral and ethical perspective. By examining how the tribunals were established, their objectives, the investigation and prosecution processes, the reliance on guilty plea and judicial notice and the imputation of criminal responsibility by applying joint criminal enterprise and command responsibility doctrines; the study argues that prosecution has not been an effective tool as contemplated by the Security Council. An analytical and comparative review of various domestic and international legal resources helped to provide an insightful approach for an effective prosecution of international crimes. Credible, legitimate and legal judicial institutions in which professional judges and prosecutors discharge their function independently, impartially and are accountable may achieve justice for the victims of international crimes. Ad hoc tribunals failed to thoroughly investigate and assume the dual role of prosecution. They conveniently used legal procedural tools that fit petty domestic crimes; unfortunately demeaning the magnitude of international crimes of concern. Criminal responsibility was mostly imputed without properly scrutinising the legality, extent, actual participation and guilty mind of the alleged perpetrators. Effectiveness should be a value assessment. Imposed and overburdened ad hoc tribunals are inappropriate and should be abandoned. / Public, Constitutional, & International / LLD

L'utilisation de l'expérience comme un mode de détermination des faits, c'est-à-dire comme un élément qui comble les lacunes dans l'ensemble des éléments de preuve dans le procès civil, est un thème quelque peu tabou. La doctrine est souvent basée sur la prémisse voulant que le décideur rende une décision uniquement en vertu des éléments de preuve et qu'il doit absolument s'abstenir d'insérer aux constatations quoi que ce soit qui n'est pas présent dans les éléments de preuve. Cette vision est éloignée de la réalité juridique. Dans la première partie, nous allons aborder les principes procéduraux qui empêchent l'utilisation de l'expérience comme mode de détermination des faits. Ce sont le principe de la reconstruction de l'événement du passé, le principe de l'abstraction des connaissances acquises hors du procès et le principe de l'exclusion de la preuve par ouï-dire. Ensuite, nous portons notre attention sur les différents types d'expérience, c'est-à-dire l'expérience profane, divisible en bon sens et sens commun, et l'expérience scientifique, ainsi sur leurs modes de fonctionnement dans le procès civil. La première partie se termine par une brève confrontation des différents types d'expérience avec les principes procéduraux. La deuxième partie est consacré à l'analyse de l'expérience dans trois instruments juridiques: la connaissance d'office, la présomption de fait et le témoignage d'expert. Nous nous intéressons principalement à vérifier si l'expérience fonctionne à l'intérieur de ces instruments juridiques comme mode de détermination des faits et ensuite quelles sont les limites que le droit pose à l'expérience dans ce rôle. L'analyse va confirmer que le principal instrument par lequel l'expérience comme mode de détermination des faits pénètre dans le procès civil est la présomption de fait. / The theme of the use of experience as a mode of fact findings, i.e. as an element which fills the gaps in a totality of evidence in the civil procedure, is somewhat tabooed. The doctrine is frequently based upon the premise that a decision-maker should render a decision solely on the basis of evidence and that he should completely abstain from inserting into the fact findings anything which is not present in the evidence. This vision is distant from the legal reality. In the first part, three procedural principles which prevent the experience from the use as a mode of fact findings will be treated. The principles in question are the principle of reconstruction of the past event, the principle of setting aside the knowledge obtained out of the procedure and the principle of exclusion of hearsay evidence. Then the attention is paid to different types of experience (i.e. the lay experience, divisible into "bon sens" and into common sense, and the scientific experience) and to the methods of their fonctionning in the civil procedure. The first part is concluded by a brief confrontation of different types of experience with the procedural principles. The second part is dedicated to an analysis of the experience in the three legal instruments: judicial notice, presumption of fact and expert testimony. The interest is focused especially on verification whether the experience works inside the legal instruments as a mode of facts findings and then what are the limits which the law fixes to the experience in this role. The research will confirm that the principal instrument by which the experience as a mode of fact findings penetrates into the civil procedure is the presumption of fact.

Resume The disertation is conceived as a case study focused on the influence of introducing the quality standards of social services in a daily centre for people with mental and combined disability. It deals with the theoretical outline of the issues, particularly The Law of Social Services n. 108/2006 in the current version of later phrasing and amendment, and the quality standards of social services in relation to mentally disabled people. It also concerns with the formation of the Diakonie of the Czech Protestant Church, the Ratolest Centre in Prague and the evaluation of practical results of the introducing of the quality standards of social services in daily work of the concerned centre from the point of its staff and ordinary practice. The work on the standards in Ratolest Centre can be devided in three main stages. The first stage concerns the years 2004-2007, when the standards were intensely but not continually worked on. The work was primarily organized by one member of the staff and the management of the Centre. In this phase it meant mainly changes of practical dealing and communication with the clients. The methodology was worked out according to the momentary need, in methodological issues was no uniting character and respecting the standards was dispersed in different documents. On this stage...

No. of bitstreams: 1 Ana Paula Simao.pdf: 390277 bytes, checksum: 73b3a096a1ef2c4c2b0997f493ce3191 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-05-13 / The constitutional reform introduced with the Constitutional Amendment 45/2004 occasioned a deep transformation in the execution process effective until then in the Brazilian legal system. This happened by means of the modification of the matter relating to ordinary law rule on the subject, with the objective to obtain a more rapid process and the delivery of life asset as an accomplishment in an effective manner. Nevertheless, despite the modification introduced with Constitutional Amendment 45/2004, the execution against Public Treasury was not affected by any alteration, remaining, in full, the legal devices that examine the affair. The execution against the Public Treasury possesses peculiarities, which are justified due to the prerogatives granted to it aiming public interest, primordial for the maintenance of the State and its functions. The main peculiarity resides in the impossibility of constriction of the public goods, which tries the debit payment by means of the entitled payment notice to government. The judicial payment notice to government must observe the budgetary rules and a money order, under the risk of the Public Administration to suffer the impounding of public revenues. The impounding of public revenues is an exceptional measure, which occurs when some of the constitutional hypotheses are present. The jurisprudence still admits the impounding of public revenues in another hypothesis, not listed in the Federal Constitution. This hypothesis is the one which the subject creditor suffers from disease and requires urgently an amount for its survival. The non-effectiveness of the impounding of public revenues, ahead of the economic impossibility of the Federation being for effectual of the judicial sentence, is common. It is the entitled theory of the reserve of the possible. What is observed by the present work study is that the execution system in face of the Public Treasury does not reach its objective, mainly because the non-payment of judicial payment notice to government does not mean any more severe punishment. Attempting to solve the problem, there are reform projects. In our point of view, the proposals are shy ahead of the chaos established in the system of debits payments of the Public Treasury. This is the reason why we propose a more intense modification, as in the case of other countries, with the constriction of the dominical public good / A reforma constitucional introduzida com a Emenda Constitucional 45/2004 ensejou uma transformação profunda no processo de execução até então vigente no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro por meio da modificação da regra infraconstitucional sobre o tema, com o objetivo de se obter um processo mais célere e a entrega do bem da vida de forma efetiva. No entanto, em que pese a modificação introduzida com a Emenda Constitucional 45/2004, a execução contra a Fazenda Pública não sofreu qualquer alteração, mantendo-se, na íntegra, os dispositivos legais que versam sobre o assunto. A execução contra a Fazenda Pública possui peculiaridades, as quais se justificam em razão das prerrogativas a ela concedidas visando ao interesse público, primordial para a manutenção do Estado e suas funções. A principal peculiaridade reside na impossibilidade de constrição dos bens públicos, o que enseja o pagamento do débito mediante o denominado precatório judicial. O precatório judicial deve observar as regras orçamentárias e uma ordem de pagamento, sob pena de a Administração Pública sofrer o sequestro de rendas públicas. O sequestro de rendas públicas é medida excepcional, que tem vez quando presente alguma das hipóteses constitucionais. A jurisprudência ainda vem admitindo o sequestro de rendas públicas em mais uma hipótese não elencada na Constituição Federal, aquela em que o sujeito credor sofre de moléstia e carece com urgência de quantia para sua sobrevivência. É comum a não-efetivação do sequestro de rendas públicas, diante da impossibilidade econômica do ente da Federação para efetivação da decisão judicial. É a denominada teoria da reserva do possível. O que se observa pelo estudo do presente trabalho é que o sistema de execução em face da Fazenda Pública não atinge seu objetivo, principalmente porque o não-pagamento de precatório judicial não enseja qualquer punição mais severa. Na tentativa de solucionar o problema, há projetos de reforma. A nosso ver, as propostas são tímidas diante do caos instaurado no sistema de pagamento de débitos da Fazenda Pública, razão pela qual propomos uma modificação mais intensa, a exemplo de outros países, com a constrição do bem público dominical
