The thesis focuses on the concept of the duty of due managerial care as regulated in the legal framework of the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany; in particular, the comparison is aimed at the application of this duty against the members of the board of directors and the supervisory board of the joint-stock company and the executives of the limited liability company. The thesis first describes the duty of due managerial care as a standard of conduct. Chapter 3 describes the particular consequences of said duty for the conduct of the members of the board of directors and the supervisory board of the joint-stock company. Chapter 4 is focused on the reflection of this duty on the legal relationships within the limited liability company. Chapters 3 and 4 each include a partial conclusion concerning the most important differences as well as the effectiveness of the respective legal regulation. Chapter 5 is divided into two parts, differentiated according to the legal form of the company in question, and concerns itself with the liabilities following from the breach of said duty. Particular attention is paid to the possibilities of shareholders (members) to influence - whether ex ante or ex post - the said liabilities, as this area is marked by the most significant differences when...

The thesis topic is Duty of pleading and duty of proof in the contentious civil proceedings. The hereby stated obligations belong to the basic concepts of procedural law. If the interested party fulfils both obligations together with bearing the corresponding burdens, it increases its chance of success in a dispute. Supposing it was inactive, its inactivity might be reflected in the dispute result. My thesis aim was to deal with essential obligations in civil proceedings within eight chapters. In chapter one I mention historical excurcus where I introduce how the above stated obligations were adjusted in the previous civil procedural law regulations. It is only an outline of the historical development. Chapter two I briefly devote to the current concept - de lege lata. In the subsequent chapter three I deal with the burden of pleading and burden of proof in both types of declaratory proceedings namely in contentious and non-contentious proceedings. Where the contentious proceedings require higher activity of the interested parties in comparison with the interested parties in the non- contentious proceedings. Chapter four is focused on detailed description of both procedural obligations and to them corresponding burdens. Besides other various theories of burden of proof are stated here. And also...

This thesis deals with the duties of the parties to a litigation (contentious civil procedure). There are two such duties in a litigation: the duty to prove and the duty to assert. The aim of the thesis is to analyze these procedural institutes, to explain both their historical context and their relation to other related institutes such as the burden of proof or the burden of proof assertion.

This thesis is divided into six basic sections.

Selected aspects of attorney's duty of confidentiality Abstract One of the attorney's most important duties is the commitment to maintain the confidentiality of information he or she has learned while providing legal services. However, it is not a lawyer's privilege but a commitment to protect the rights and legitimate interests of his or her clients. The duty of confidentiality may be waived exclusively by the client or his legal successor of the client. Restrictions or breaches of this obligation should occur exceptionally, only in defined cases. In recent years, the effort of the legislators and other entities to disclose this duty of confidentiality can be noticed in the Czech Republic. The overall purpose of this thesis is to analyse the legal regulation of attorney's confidentiality in the Czech Republic. This thesis focuses mainly on the regulation contained in the Czech Law of Advocacy, in the relevant provisions of the Czech Criminal Procedure Code and in the professional regulations of the Czech Bar Association. The first two chapters of this thesis are rather of general nature. A significant part is devoted to explanation of the notion of confidentiality, its meaning and its material and personal scope. The third chapter discusses legal exceptions when breaching of attorney's confidentiality is...

This thesis is about the interrogation of a witness in civil proceeding. It is considered as one of the most difficult means of proof in terms of its execution and later evaluation by the court. This work is divided into 10 chapters which systematically follow each other. In the introduction I firstly define the concept of means of proof and the groups they can be divided into. The following chapters focus on the main topic. The second chapter is composed of introduction of the witness, their legal obligation to testify and their capability. Also, it deals with the right to reject to testify and the obligation of confidentiality which receives extra attention. I deal with the obligation of confidentiality based on laws regulating this obligation for attorneys, notary, doctors and clerics. Furthermore, the work deals with the procedure of interrogation of witness as the law dictates it. Particularly, the way the court summons the witness and which lawful means does the law allows the court to enforce the duties among the witness to testify or punishing them for false testimony. In the chapter four and five the attention is on the process of interrogation itself and on possible specific means of interrogation, for example, the interrogation requested by the court or the interrogation done outside of...
