Liberalising trade is not limited to diminishing trade barriers or decreasing tariffs rates, but also ensuring that these efforts are maintained: this is the role of competition rules. / It is common knowledge that for decades Countries have been trying to agree on international harmonised competition rules. Aware of this interaction between trade and competition policies, they knew efforts had to be undertaken to make them co-exist. Unfortunately the dream never came true. And parties only inherited rules of competition hardly recognised, or implicitly applied within the International Trade Law Framework. Even if some implicit rules of competition have been 'injected' in some of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade provisions in the early 1950's, it is only the new 1994 World Trade Organisation Agreements that have consecrated this orientation, drafted so to discipline the Parties as for competition-related behaviour; even if by definition WTO Agreements were not competition agreements. / Far from the debate of their potential harmonisation, the thesis identifies these rules, analyses their evolution within time and their very application through the study of WTO cases. It will establish that the emergence of a competition jurisprudence is an undeniable reality.

The topic of this diploma thesis is legal regulation of unfair competition law, namely comparing Czech and German law in reference to EU law.

The central term of the entire thesis - unfair competition contains those cases in which someone abuses and deforms competitive environment in an unfair way. Unfair competition may be defined as a competition which someone spoils, hides something, or behaves in a dishonest, immoral, or unsatisfactory manner. This thesis is divided into four chapters.

LL.M / The provisions of South Africa’s law on dismissal based on operational requirements are frequently relied on by employers who dismiss employees to further various objectives. Against this background, this dissertation critically analyses the law providing for employers to rely on their operational requirements as a basis for fair dismissal, and the legal principles on selecting employees for dismissal based on operational requirements. As part of this analysis, the approach in South Africa is compared with the approach in Germany, the United Kingdom and Australia. The analysis is based on a critical literature study that includes a consideration of the relevant legislation, treaties, conventions, directives, case law, recommendations, textbooks, journal articles and statistical sources. This dissertation draws broad conclusions regarding the contents, effects and shortcomings of the aspects of South African law on dismissal based on operational requirements that fall within its scope. In broad terms, this dissertation finds that the conceptual model underpinning the South African regime on dismissal based on operational requirements, is intrinsically sound, but that certain aspects require reform. It finds further that South Africa’s law on dismissal based on operational requirements generally provides employees with a relatively high degree of employment security, and severely limits managerial prerogative. This dissertation concludes that the primary areas requiring reform relate to the test for substantive fairness that does not include a proportionality analysis to weigh up the competing interests of the employer and the employee(s), and the requirements regarding selection criteria that fail to include consideration of the impact of dismissal on individual employees and their dependents. This dissertation makes proposals for reform in these areas.
