No Direito Romano, a proteção da propriedade e a prova de sua titularidade era realizada através de ações, face à inexistência de um sistema de Registro de Imóveis. O direito de propriedade era extremamente individualista e patrimonialista. Com o feudalismo, a diferença entre o privado e o público começa a esmorecer. Surgem as codificações, na crença de que o Código seria um feixe infalível de hipóteses jurídicas que traria segurança jurídica. Com o tempo, o dogma da completude se tornou uma utopia. A descodificação é consequência direta. A Constituição Federal passa a regular os direitos inerentes à justiça, segurança, liberdade, igualdade, propriedade e herança, que antes estavam no Código Civil. A constitucionalização do direito privado surge com uma nova proposta de interpretações sistemáticas das leis, sempre à luz da Constituição. A propriedade sofre as influências de uma Constituição Federal mais voltada para o social, que impõe ao proprietário o atendimento à função social da propriedade. O atendimento à função social da propriedade também se dá pelo atendimento da legislação ambiental, naquilo que se denominou de função sócio-ambiental da propriedade. O Registro de Imóveis é instituído no Brasil e passa a gerar publicidade, autenticidade, segurança e eficácia dos atos jurídicos, transformando-se no sistema guardião da propriedade dos imóveis. O meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado e a sadia qualidade de vida passam a ser direitos fundamentais do cidadão e sua defesa e proteção cabe ao Poder Público e à coletividade. Após o Código de Defesa do Consumidor, o bem ambiental passou a ter natureza difusa, transindividual e pertencente à coletividade, fazendo do Poder Público seu mero gestor. Hodiernamente, na pós-modernidade, a informação é sinônimo de poder. A publicização de direitos é uma tendência da pós-modernidade. O direito ambiental tem, no Registro de Imóveis, um aliado na prevenção de litígios e na proteção ambiental. Os institutos de direito ambiental, que visam proteger o meio ambiente, tais como as unidades de conservação, necessitam da publicidade que o Registro de Imóveis oportuniza, através da averbação das restrições ambientais na matrícula do imóvel, para obter a publicidade e a segurança jurídica necessárias e prevenir o uso nocivo da propriedade. O Registro de Imóveis assume uma nova dimensão, como um instrumento de proteção ambiental. / In Roman law the protection of property and evidence of its ownership was achieved through actions in the absence of a system of Property Registry. The right of ownership was highly individualistic and patrimonial. In feudalism the difference between private and public begins to falter. Encodings arise in the belief that the Code would be a beam infallible legal assumptions that would bring legal certainty. Over time the doctrine of completeness has become a utopia. The decoding is a direct consequence. The Federal Constitution is to regulate the rights inherent in justice, security, freedom, equality, property and inheritance that were previously in the Civil Code. The constitutionalization of private law emerges with a new proposal for a systematic interpretation of the law where the light of the Constitution. The property suffers the effects of a Federal Constitution more focused on the social, which requires the owner to attendance the social function of property. The attendance to the social function of property is also given for the care of environmental legislation, in what was termed the socio-environmental function of property. The Property Registry is hereby established in Brazil and comes to generating publicity, authenticity, safety and efficacy of legal acts, becoming the guardian system of ownership of property. The ecologically balanced and healthy quality of life become the rights of the citizen and his defense and protection rests with the Government and the community. After the Code of Consumer Protection, the environmental goods started to have diffuse nature, transindividual belonging to the community, making the Government its mere manager. In our times, in postmodernity, the information is synonymous with power. The publicity of rights is a tendency of post-modernity. Environmental law has, in the Property Registry, an ally in preventing disputes and environmental protection. The institutes of environmental law meant to protect the environment, such as conservation areas, they need the publicity the Property Registry provides an opportunity through the registration of environmental restrictions on registration of property, to get publicity and legal certainty and prevent harmful use of property. The Property Registry assumes a new dimension, as an instrument of environmental protection.

La prescription extinctive a fait l’objet de nombreuses études en droit privé ou en droit pénal. Elle constitue à l’inverse un angle mort de la recherche en droit public. La réforme opérée en matière civile par la loi du 17 juin 2008, ainsi que le renouveau contemporain du débat sur l’existence d’une théorie générale des obligations publiques, justifient pourtant une analyse approfondie en droit public. Prenant ses racines dans le Code civil, la prescription extinctive tient une place non négligeable dans les rapports obligataires des personnes publiques. La multiplication des prescriptions propres au droit public, notamment en raison d’impératifs budgétaires, oblige toutefois à identifier ce qu’elle recouvre précisément. Fondée sur la sécurité juridique, elle se distingue d’autres mécanismes similaires en emportant l’extinction de l’exigibilité de l’obligation. De ce fait, elle connaît un essor important et s’étend à la plupart des obligations publiques, même si elle doit être conciliée avec la nécessité d’intérêt général d’obtenir le paiement des obligations.Si la prescription extinctive existe bien en droit public, elle a toutefois été adaptée aux caractéristiques propres de cette matière. Bien que le Code civil ait longtemps imposé le recours aux règles du droit privé, le juge administratif n’en avait pas moins conservé une certaine autonomie. En supprimant l’application du droit privé aux rapports obligataires des personnes publiques, la réforme du 17 juin 2008 a rendu le droit public de la prescription autonome. Cette autonomie devrait néanmoins être consolidée par la voie d’une réforme législative, réorganisant les prescriptions disparates, et comblant les lacunes existantes. Une telle intervention serait également l’occasion de constater l’originalité de la prescription extinctive en droit public. Son fonctionnement (point de départ, suspension, interruption, opposition, renonciation, etc.) reste gouverné par de nombreuses spécificités dues à la double appartenance de la prescription aux règles de la légalité administrative et financière. Elle souligne en définitive l’irréductible spécificité du droit public. / Extinctive prescription has been the subject of numerous studies both in public and private laws. In contrast it is a dead angle in Public Law research. The reform put in place in the civil domain by the June 17, 2008 Act, as well as a renewed interest in the debate about the existence of a general theory of public obligations, warrant a deep analysis. Having its roots in the civil code, the extinctive prescription holds an important place among the contractual or legal relationship of public persons. The significant increase of prescriptions specific to public law, partly due to budgetary need, however requires identifying what it exactly entails. Based on legal certainty, it differs from other mechanisms that are close to it, by leading to the termination of liability for payment. Hence, it sees a significant expansion and now extends to most public obligations, even though it has to be reconciled with the need of general interest to get payment of obligations.If the extinctive prescription does exist in public law, it has however been adapted to the inherent characteristics of this subject. Even though the Civil Code has imposed the use of private law rules for long, the administrative judge had retained some autonomy. By removing the use of private law from contractual or legal relationship of public persons, the June 17, 2008 reform has made prescription in public law independent. This autonomy should be enhanced through a legislative reform, both reorganizing the existing prescriptions and filling existing gaps. Such intervention would be an opportunity to observe the originality of extinctive prescription in public law. Its operation (starting point, suspension, interruption, waiver, etc.) remains governed by numerous characteristics due to dual ownership of prescription to the rules of administrative and financial legality. It eventually highlights the undeniable specificity of public law.

Dans l’image traditionnelle, la Chine est un État unitaire typiquement centralisé. Un tel concept, même à l’ère de Mao Zedong, n’est pas très précis, car à l’époque, la Chine a quand-même connu au moins trois cycles de déconcentration/centralisation. Alors, après la réforme d’«ouverture vers l’extérieur» par Deng Xiaoping, la Chine a établi des relations contrastées entre le central et le local. Deng Xiaoping a adopté une décentralisation des compétences par les mesures administratives et transfère les « intérêts » à l’échelon local, ce qui induit une grande latitude pour ce dernier, en particulier, en matière de développement de l’économie. Ainsi, une décentralisation non institutionnalisée a conduit l’échelon local à devenir de facto une entité administrative qui maîtrise les ressources et les compétences au nom de l’État, plutôt qu’obéissant aveuglément au central. Derrière ce changement, on voit l’émergence et la force motrice des intérêts locaux, avec une décentralisation approfondie, les gouvernements locaux ont reçu beaucoup plus de pouvoirs discrétionnaires, surtout pour ce qui concerne les affaires locales, et en même temps, à travers la maîtrise des ressources et des pouvoirs, les gouvernements locaux possèdent les «jetons» dans la négociation avec le gouvernement central, ayant pour objet et effet d’exprimer les intérêts locaux et d’influencer les décisions du central. Pour maintenir sa primauté, le gouvernement central a adopté une centralisation sélective pour faire face à cette décentralisation de facto afin d’arriver à un équilibre entre le central et le local. Cependant, une décentralisation non institutionnalisée, principalement à travers les négociations pour atteindre un équilibre entre les deux précédents, semble une approche qui n’est toujours pas stable, de telle sorte que la recherche d’une normativité des relations entre le central et le local est devenue un objectif à long terme. / In the traditional image, China is a typically centralized unitary country, such a concept, even in the era of Mao Zedong, is not very precise, because at that time, China has even experienced at least three cycles of decentralisation/centralisation. So, through the reform and open by Deng Xiaoping, China has formed contrasting relations between central and local. Deng Xiaoping has adopted decentralization through administrative measures to decentralize the power and transfer “interests” to the local government, so that, the local government has a major initiative, in particular, in the development of the economy. Thus, the non-institutional decentralization leads the local government to become de facto an administrative entity which controls resources and power in the name of the central government. So the local government is not just obeying the central government like before. Behind this change is the emergence and the driving force of local interests. With a deep decentralization, the local governments have received much more discretionary power, especially in the local affairs and at the same time, through the control of resources and powers, the local governments have the “bargain chip” to negotiate with the central government, so that they could express local interests and influence the decisions of the central government. In order to maintain central authority, the central government has adopted a selective centralization for this de facto centralization, so as to achieve a balance between the central government and the local government. However, the non-institutional decentralization mainly through negotiation to achieve a balance between the two preceding ones, seems to be an approach that is still not stable, so that the search for a normativity of relations between central and local has become a long-term goal.

in English The main topics of my thesis are public law contracts. Public law contracts can be defined as bilateral or multilateral legal operations, which establish, change or repeal rights or duties in the area of public law. I tried to give a complete point of view on them, including their history, the actual legal regulation and I also tried to present the single types of public law contracts. Public law contract is one of the forms of public service. It is an institute, which was already commented by legal theorists in the period of Austria-Hungary and also in the beginning of 20th century. The importance of this institute was shaded during the Second World War and during the period of communism. The democracy and then the general legal regulation in form of the normative act No. 500/2004 called the Rules of Administrative Procedure give the institute importance again. Public law contracts can be considered as instruments, which help to involve private entities in the sphere of public services. The thesis is divided into chapters, but it is possible to say, it is divided into two big parts. The first one concerns the definition of the public service in general, because I suppose it is necessary to understand the whole system for determining the public law contracts issues. It also concerns the...

The aim of this thesis is to examine the highly topical subject of regulation surrounding commercial practices. This examination is divided into four chapters. The first chapter looks at the notion of commercial practices by considering both the linguistic and legal definition of the term, and the importance of the regulation is proved. The second chapter deals with the question of division of law into its public and private counterparts. The discussion of the consequences of this division are crucial for a better analysis of the actual implementation of the EU Directive 2005/29/CE on unfair commercial practices. In the third chapter, the scope of application of this Directive is analysed and the main principles of regulation are described. The final section focuses on the Czech law on unfair commercial practices. In this segment, the text of the provisions of the Czech Code of Consumer Protection is compared to the Directive, and the system of legal redress and sanctions in the Code of Consumer Protection is critically analysed. The legal regulation of "promotional events", during which the ban of unfair commercial practices is often breached, is placed under scrutiny. The Directive was also implemented into the Code of Regulation of Advertisement. One subchapter of the fourth chapter is therefore...

Malgré son organisation d’inspiration libérale, la profession de médecin accepte depuis longtemps l’exercice sous forme illibérale. Ce mode d’exercice médical concerne tous les médecins, aujourd’hui nombreux, exerçant leur art au profit et pour le compte d’un employeur public ou privé. Il présente la particularité d’être organisé selon une bipartition théorique faisant la différence entre les médecins dont l’exercice est soumis au droit public, et ceux dont l’exercice relève du droit privé. L’organisation de l’exercice médical subordonné reprend en effet le schéma selon lequel les agents publics doivent être distingués des salariés de droit privé, conséquence de la dualité droit public/droit privé qui caractérise le système juridique français. Cependant, tout comme la différenciation entre les agents publics et les salariés de droit privé s’est affaiblie, celle existant en théorie entre les médecins illibéraux de droit public et les médecins illibéraux de droit privé a perdu de sa pertinence, tant ces deux catégories de professionnels se sont rapprochées, liées en pratique par une même notion : la subordination. Les différentes branches du droit applicables aux médecins illibéraux ont été réciproquement attirées les unes par les autres et ont évolué par des mécanismes d’emprunts mutuels. Ce mouvement d’attraction, dont le développement a fait naître un mode d’exercice médical illibéral uniformisé, marque l’abolition de la distinction entre médecine subordonnée de droit public et médecine subordonnée de droit privé / Despite being organized on a liberal inspiration, the medical profession can be practiced through a subordinate relationship. This way of practicing the medical profession includes every doctor who fulfills his professional duties in the profit and for a public or private employer. It is unique by its organization, according to a theoretical division making the difference between doctors ruled by public laws, and doctors who practice under private laws. It follows a particular scheme, in which civil servants are differenciated from salaried employees ruled by private laws, a direct result, typical of the french legal system, of the traditional duality between public and private law.However, like the differenciation between civil servants and salaried employees ruled by private laws, which has lost most of its strongness, the separation between subordinate doctors ruled by public laws and subordinate doctors ruled by private laws is not relevant anymore, because these two types of doctors, linked by one key concept, the subordination, have kept getting closer over time. The different rules that apply to the subordinate doctors have reach out to each other and have progressed with mutual borrowings. These attraction moves have created a homogeneous medical practice, by erasing the differences between subordinate doctors ruled by public laws and those who are governed by private laws

Comment le Droit peut-il définir le concept de Liberté ? De quelles manières la théorie du droit et le droit public appréhendent-ils la définition de la Liberté ? Défiant en effet toute entreprise de définition, la Liberté se dérobe immédiatement à toute contrainte. Pourtant, on le pressent, et on le vérifie au quotidien, la liberté des uns entrera fatalement en conflit avec la liberté des autres. Nous suggérons que l'intérêt général est l'élément de médiation indispensable à la coexistence de nos droits fondamentaux. La problématique de cette étude s'articule alors autour de la relation entre l'intérêt général et les droits fondamentaux. Cette relation prend successivement deux formes. D'une part, il ressort que les droits fondamentaux reçoivent l'intérêt général en tant qu'il est une notion politique et juridique destinée à définir les droits et libertés. Il s'agira d'apprécier la relation essentielle qui se noue entre intérêt général et droits fondamentaux. D'autre part, il importe de concilier l'intérêt général et les droits fondamentaux en conceptualisant l'intérêt général. Nous aborderons, cette fois, la relation existentielle entre les droits fondamentaux et l'intérêt général. Toutefois, l'analyse révèle que l'intérêt général demeure un concept politique auquel une fonction juridique est donnée. Il contribue cependant à la définition du concept de Liberté. Il démontre fondamentalement qu'un droit qui anéantirait, par principe, la Liberté, s'anéantirait en tant que Droit. / How can Law define the concept of Liberty? In which ways does the theory of Law and Public Law define Liberty? Being virtually impossible to define, Liberty eludes any constraints. Nevertheless, one can sense it and on a daily basis can verify that the Liberty of some will inevitably clash with the Liberty of others. We suggest that public interest is an essential means of mediation enabling our fundamental rights to coexist. What is at stake in this study is the relationship between public interest and fundamental rights. This relationship can be of two kinds. On the one hand, insomuch as public interest is a political and legal notion intended to define rights and liberties, it is deeply rooted in fundamental rights. We will analyze the essential relationship which links public interest and fundamental rights. On the other hand, it is important to reconcile public interest and fundamental rights by conceptualizing public interest. We will therefore examine the existential relationship between fundamental rights and public interest.However, this analysis reveals that public interest remains a political concept, which has been given a legal function. It nonetheless contributes to defining the concept of Liberty. It demonstrates that a Law which would annihilate Liberty on principle would annihilate itself.

The Institution of the res iudicata is treated in the Brazilian Law by the Constitutional Text, by the Brazilian Civil Process Code, besides the Law of the Introduction to the Brazilian Civil Code and sparse legislation. Due to the multiplicity of Law subjects taking care of the Institution, for one part of the doctrine, it would not have constitutional protection and it could be modified and even abolished under infraconstitutional norms. Under that premise, it was built the doctrine known as relativism of the judged thing , that links the effects of the resiudicata thing to its normative fundament of validity or the justice of decisum. Once the chosen subject has its very own characteristics of almost exclusive development in the national doctrine it was privileged the doctrine exam and national jurisprudence, not failing to remember, nevertheless, the contributions of the foreign doctrine, when, effectively, they could support the analyzes of the approached issues in this Essay. The text presents the origins of the res iudicata and classifies the essential process elements for the understanding of the Institution as a process-juridical category. It examines the principle of juridical reliability, its historical evolution and its interpretation in the current law, as well as, the nature of the judged thing as a normative category, to the Institution position in the Brazilian Constitutional text. It also mentions, the juridical nature of the formed sentences in rejoinder to the present Federal Constitution and the effects of the doctrinaire positioning that states the no existence of the unconstitutional res iudicata. Yet, it proceeds, to the study of the new writing of the articles 475-L § 1st and 741, single clause, of the Brazilian Process Civil Code, consolidated by the Law number 11.232/2005, that partially accepted, the above indicated theory. At last, it dedicates considerations on representative judicial decisions of practical difficulties that the application of the Institution has had in the brazilian jurisprudence / Esta Dissertação tem por objetivo conceituar, analisar e interpretar a chamada coisa julgada inconstitucional no campo doutrinário, no seu tratamento normativo e na aplicação prática da jurisprudência dos tribunais nacionais, no âmbito do direito público. O Instituto da coisa julgada é tratado no direito brasileiro pelo Texto Constitucional, pelo Código de Processo Civil Brasileiro e pela Lei de Introdução ao Código Civil Brasileiro, além de legislação esparsa. Ante a multiplicidade de esferas normativas cuidando do Instituto, para uma parte da doutrina, ele não teria proteção constitucional e poderia ser modificado e até abolido por normas infraconstitucionais. Por tal premissa, foi construída doutrina conhecida como relativização da coisa julgada , que vincula os efeitos da coisa julgada ao seu fundamento normativo de validade ou à justiça do decisum. Face as características muito próprias do tema escolhido, - de desenvolvimento quase que exclusivo na doutrina nacional -, privilegiou-se o exame da doutrina e jurisprudência nacionais, sem olvidar, no entanto, as contribuições da doutrina estrangeira, quando, efetivamente, puderam auxiliar na análise das questões abordadas nesta Dissertação. O texto apresenta as origens da coisa julgada e conceitua os elementos processuais essenciais para a compreensão do Instituto como categoria jurídico-processual. Examina o princípio da segurança jurídica, sua evolução histórica e sua interpretação no direito atual, bem como a natureza da coisa julgada como categoria normativa, face a posição que o Instituto ocupa no texto constitucional brasileiro. Aborda, também, a natureza jurídica das sentenças formadas em contrariedade à Constituição Federal vigente e os efeitos do posicionamento doutrinário que apregoa a inexistência da coisa julgada inconstitucional. Procede, ainda, ao estudo da nova redação dos arts. 475-L § 1º e 741, parágrafo único, do Código de Processo Civil brasileiro, cristalizada pela Lei nº 11.232/2005, que acolheu, ao menos em parte, a teoria acima indicada. Por fim, dedica considerações sobre decisões judiciais representativas das dificuldades práticas que a aplicação do Instituto tem gerado na jurisprudência brasileira

While rankings of presidents are quite common, rankings of Supreme Court justices are much rarer. Herein I produce one and make use of both to see if perceived greatness of one actor can effect perceptions of greatness for the other. This work examines those influences that indicate success for Supreme Court Justices by seeking to determine what the historically great justices have in common. I first develop a composite score of all the Supreme Court Justices based on the limited previous ranking research and relevant indictors to rank the Justices 1-112. Next, I examine potential indicators of such success; previous experience, personal characteristics, conformation vote, and most interestingly the perceived greatness of their appointing president. This research finds a direct relationship between perceptions of presidential greatness and perceptions of judicial quality. Overall the great Justices are statistically more likely to be appointed by a great president, consistent with the appointment literature that often describes an appointer-appointee relationship as a legacy impacting one.
