Rozhodnutí českých soudů na úseku trestněprávní ochrany životního prostředí / Case-law of Czech courts in the area of environmental protection through criminal law

The aim of the thesis is to analyse judicature dealing with environmental crime of Czech courts. The reason for my research is fact, that environmental crime is one of the most dangerous for all human kind and there is such a small attention paid to it here in Czech Republic. The thesis is composed of five chapters. Chapter one is introductory and lines out goals of the thesis, terminology and techniques used in the thesis. Chapter two provides an outline of relevant Czech case law. This chapter is subdivided into six parts. Each part looks at special kind of environmental crime such as cruelty to animals, poaching, illegal wildlife trade, forest damage etc. Chapter three concentrates on impact of criminal liability of legal entities on environmental crime. Chapter four examines the infrequency of environmental crime coming before the court. Conclusions are drawn in Chapter Five. Frequent changes of complicated legislation have crucial influence on fighting the blight that is environmental crime. Prosecuting authorities are not motivated to prosecute the environmental crime because of light sentences. Czech courts also sometimes tend to legal positivism which brings out controversial judgements, especially in combination with poor-quality legislation.
