The rising availability of consumer loans causes an increase of debtors who aren't able to carry out all their monetary obligations. They get into financial problems which often end in several current executory proceedings. For debtors this situation is apparently hopeless and many of them try to solve it by using bridging loans. This leads to deepening of their personal financial crisis. The Insolvency Act No. 182/2006 Sb. which contains the regulation of the Discharge of Debts brings a solution for such debtors. Discharge of Debts as one of the ways of sanitation of debts in Czech law represents modern trends of European and American Insolvency law that joins the debtor back into the economic life. Discharge of Debts represents a possibility to solve the debtor's unbearable financial situation and to keep at least partially his living standards. For creditors it can be a way how to obtain at least part of their claims by the legal procedure. This text deals with actual Czech regulation of Discharge of Debts and compares it with foreign German regulation. In the first two chapters the basic terms and admissibility of Discharge of Debts are clarified and generally compared with Discharge of residual debts by the German law. Subsequently the author reports on single phases of insolvency proceedings...

Zusammenfassung Als Thema meiner Diplomarbeit habe ich das "Ehescheidungverfahren" ausgewählt. Zur Auswahl dieses Thema haben mich viele Gründe bewegt. Vor allem möchte ich meine Diplomarbeit einem praktischen Thema widmen, das sich mit der Lösung von alltäglichen Lebenssituationen befasst, und diese Kenntnis könnte ich später in meiner Karriere als Rechtsanwältin verwerten. Angesichts der neuesten Statistiken, nach denen so ziemlich jede zweite Ehe geschieden wird, scheint dieses Thema sehr praktisch zu sein. Das Ziel meiner Diplomarbeit ist eines Ehescheidungverfahrens nach dem Gesetz Nr. 292/2013 über besondere Gerichtsverfahren, in der Fassung der späteren Vorschriften, das am 1. Januar 2014 in Kraft trat, zu analysieren. Das Gesetz über besondere Gerichtsverfahren, das in Rahmen der Änderungen des privaten Rechts aufgenommen wurde, brachte in das Scheidungverfahren eine Reihe von Neuerungen, deren Zweck es ist, die Mängels an vorherigen Prozessvorschriften zu beseitigen. Die größte Änderung im Zivilprozessrecht ist die Ausklammerung der außerstreitigen Verfahren aus dem Gesetz Nr. 99/1963 der Zivilprozessordnung, in der Fassung der späteren Vorschriften, in das Gesetz über besondere Gerichtsverfahren. Mit den außerstreitigen Verfahren wurden in das neue Gesetz auch die spezifischen streitigen Verfahren...

The purpose of insolvency proceedings in case of bankruptcy is to find out registered proof of dept and its subsequent relative satisfaction from the proceeds of the realization of estate. The main activities of the insolvency practitioner in the performance of his function is to review the filed claims of creditors, the findings of the estate and its subsequent inventory, management and sale.

This paper examines determinants of creditors' claims satisfaction in insolvency proceedings in the Czech Republic. To our knowledge, it is the first research to such extent in the Czech Republic covering this field. Combining microdata from Insolvency Register, Business Register, Ministry of Finance and other sources, we construct a unique dataset of more than 2,600 cases. We identify several basic determinants of satisfaction: a higher share of secured claims, real estate and cash in assets of a company, submission of financial statements into Business Register, selling the business as a whole within the proceedings, and entrepreneur cases. We find no such effect for the audit of financial statements or for the age of a company. Moreover, we search for other indicators that may result in the lower satisfaction of claims, out of which five are statistically significant: a homeless person in statutory body, registered office at a firm nest, being listed as unreliable VAT payer, a connection to persons that have multiple records in Insolvency Register and a substantial increase in depreciation in the period between the last two submitted financial statements. In contradiction to the bankruptcy prediction literature, we show that the financial data are unreliable for predicting the outcome of insolvency...
