1 Pacta Sunt Servanda in Recent Civil Law Abstract The thesis deals with the brocard of pacta sunt servanda and its application in the current Czech civil law. After a brief explanation of the historical circumstances and a concise description of the historical development of private law in Czechia, the first chapter outlines the establishment and the practical confirmation of the pacta sunt servanda principle in the judicial rulings of the Czech Constitutional Court after year 1990. The second chapter analyzes the natural law doctrines that have informed the authors of the Civil Code in drafting the law, including the principle of pacta sunt servanda. The third chapter of the thesis reviews the practical expression of the principle that agreements must be kept, and promises are binding in the applicable provisions of the Civil Code. The freedom of contract is one of the essential tenets of the private law, which gives parties freedom to decide whether to enter into a contract, with whom and the freedom to decide (acting in mutual respect of the equal autonomy of the persons involved) about the contents of the contract. But the freedom is also accompanied by responsibility. One of the possible consequences of the pacta sunt servanda principle is a party's duty to negotiate with care and not to lead a...

Servitudes Abstract The aim of this thesis is to analyse the legal institute of servitudes and its issues, especially focusing on its current legal regulation in the Civil Code and related case law. The thesis deals with the problematic issues that arise in connection with the examined institute and tries to find possible ways of overcoming the flaws of the legal regulation. The thesis is divided into four parts. The first chapter briefly outlines the theoretical concept of servitudes. The second part of the thesis analyses the historical development of servitudes from their beginnings in Roman law, when the foundations of the institution under study were formed and, in many ways, survive to this day. It then continues with an explanation of the codifications regulating servitudes. It continues with an explanation of the codifications regulating easements in the Czech territory from the General Civil Code through the communist codifications of 1950 and 1964, in the latter case the most important amendments are described. Then the reasons for the deletion of the term servitude from the applicable law and its replacement by a superior term covering both servitudes and real burdens, which was the state of law until the adoption of the current Civil Code, are discussed. This part of the thesis focuses on the...

Easements Abstract The aim of this thesis is to provide readers with a comprehensive view of the legal institution of easements.

Networking of civil society organizations has been occurring in the Czech civic sector for several years. Since the nineties a number of new networks has emerged or extended their membership base. Networks can be examined diversely. This work is focused principally on the network internal operations. The aim of this work is to show the forms of organizational structure and collective action on the example of the Czech Forum for Development Cooperation (FoRS). The operational objective is to determine whether the examined internal form of network has an effect on the achievement of its objectives. The hypothesis that the centralised and hierarchical forms of network achieve more likely their objectives was confirmed in this case. The analysis also revealed that the network FoRS acts as a "consensus- based organization". This type of structure has typically sparse network of interactions, weakly shared collective identity and the absence of conflicting orientation towards a defined enemy.

The aim of my thesis is to analyse the limits of arbitrability of labour disputes in Czech Republic and to describe Austrian labour-arbitration law. Subsequently I would like to focus on possible solutions of problems linked with arbitrability of labour disputes in Czech Republic. The reason for this study is my interest in both Czech and international arbitration. There is only a few papers which deals with arbitrability of labour disputes in Czech Republic although it is in my opinion very interesting and controversial topic. In connection with changes, introduced by the new Civil Code on 1st of January 2014, the Czech civil law is much more similar to the German and Austrian civil law than it was before. Due to this fact I focus on Austrian arbitration act, which could be important source of knowledge for amendments to Czech arbitration act. The thesis is composed of eight main chapters. The first chapter discusses arbitration in general. The second and third chapter describes alternative dispute resolutions and some other types of out-of-court settlements of both collective and individual labour disputes in Czech Republic. Chapter four explains arbitration and alternative resolution of labour disputes under German and Austrian acts. Chapter five provides an outline of relevant Czech case law. This...
