Questions and debates are caused both by the wording of the Act No. 418/2011 Coll., on Criminal Liability of Legal Entities and Proceedings Against Them, as well as the extent and manner of application of the general legislation, i.e., in the procedural matters the Act No. 141/1961 Coll., on the Criminal Proceedings (the Code of Criminal Procedure).

The topic of this Master's thesis is the liability of legal entities for administrative delicts. With the adoption of Act No. 250/2016 Coll., on liability for administrative delicts and the proceedings thereon, the legal regulation of administrative delicts and misdemeanours has been unified under a single category, which is misdemeanours. This legislation thus includes both the regulation of delicts committed by natural persons and the regulation of delicts committed by legal persons. The aim of this thesis is to explain the prerequisites for the liability of legal persons for misdemeanours with regard to the specific nature of legal persons and to point out the close connection between the provisions of civil law (in particular the Civil Code) and the legal regulation of the liability of legal persons for misdemeanours under the Misdemeanours Act.

Defence of a legal person in criminal proceedings and issues related to the defence Abstract The rigorous thesis deals with the definition of problems of the procedural part of the law on criminal liability of legal persons and related problems arising from the Criminal Procedure Code. Problems related to the criminal liability of legal persons appear in the Czech legislation and in the legislation of other countries of the continental legal culture mainly due to the adoption of the institute from the Anglo-American legal culture. The Czech legal system was based on the criminal liability of natural persons only and the incorporation of the new institute thus requires a certain adaptation of the legal system. Moreover, the nature of a legal person is inherently problematic given its specific nature. The author selects the most important problems of the procedural part of the law, analyses them and assesses the suitability of the current legal regulation. Subsequently, the author compares the identified problems with foreign legislation of the countries of the continental legal system. The author considers the most significant problems of the Czech legislation to be the absolute exclusion of the institute of necessary defence for legal persons, problems related to the person of the guardian and problems...

However, such considerations require a sufficient command of terminology, as well as of the basic principles of criminal law, which is the content of Chapter One of the thesis. Chapter Two is dedicated to the fundamental change in the concept of legal entities brought about by the new Civil Code, which leans towards the theory of fiction, thereby causing considerable tension. On a global scale, the institute of the liability of legal entities...

1 Abstract Criminal proceedings against legal entities This diploma thesis focuses on procedural provisions of Act No. 418/2011 Coll., On Criminal Liability of Legal Entities and Proceedings against them, which has undergone many changes since the 1st January 2012 and is constantly evolving since the criminal liability of legal persons is in the legal order of the Czech Republic still a relatively novelty and therefore a current topic. The Act has been subject to criticism prior to its entry into force, which in some aspects is still up to date even today.

V roce 2016 došlo k rekodifikaci přestupkového práva, kdy k 1. 7. 2017 nabyl účinnosti nový zákon o odpovědnosti za přestupky a řízení o nich. Do tohoto právního předpisu byla včleněna jak problematika odpovědnosti za přestupky fyzických osob, tak odpovědnosti za přestupky právnických osob (podnikajících fyzických osob), ale i procesněprávní úprava. Některá ustanovení tohoto zákona se však jeví jako problematická, konkrétně pokud jde o nestanovení povinnosti správním orgánům při řešení podezření z přestupku právnické osoby zjišťovat konkrétní fyzickou osobu, která jednala za právnickou osobu a která se sama svým jednáním mohla dopustit korespondujícího přestupku. In 2016, there was a recodification of an offence law, when the new act of offences and proceedings took effect on the 1st July 2017. The issue of liability of natural persons for offences as well as of legal persons (natural persons doing business) but also procedural regulation were incorporated into this legal regulation. However, some of provisions of this act appear to be problematic, specifically as regards not providing of an obligation for administrative authorities to resolve a suspected offence of legal person, to identify a specific natural person, who presented the legal person and who itself, by its action, could commit a corresponding offence.

1 Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the issue of sanctioning of legal persons as well as with selected aspects of criminal liability of legal persons. The main reason why I chose this topic is my deep interest in analyzing the discussed issues together with the evaluation of the current state of the Act No. 418/2011 Coll., On Criminal Liability of Legal Persons and the Proceedings against them, and on the basis of this evaluation to submit proposals for improvement. At the beginning of this work, the reader will find a presentation of the basic structure, along with an outline of the main goals of the thesis, and then it will be divided into five basic chapters. The first chapter defines the basic concepts of criminal liability of legal persons related to their sanctioning. There is a theoretical definition of a legal person due to the absence of a definition of this term in czech criminal law. After defining the theoretical basis of criminal liability of legal persons, the development of this institute is outlined, together with the question of sanctioning the legal persons that are primarily involved in this work. The second chapter focuses on the development of criminal liability of legal persons. Due to the fact that origin of the criminal liability of legal persons is in the...

Liability of members of governing bodies of juristic persons Mgr. Lucie Novotná Krtoušová Abstract The aim of the presented doctoral thesis entitled "Theoretical Concept of Liability of Members of the Governing Bodies of Juristic Persons" is to determine what requirements can be placed on natural persons who act as members of the governing bodies of juristic persons, and to specify the substance of due managerial care as a legal basis for potential liability. The Civil Code lays down the duty of a governing body member to act with due managerial care in the discharge of his/her office in its general part; the relevant provisions thus apply to members of the governing bodies of all juristic persons under both private and public law, provided that this is compatible with their legal nature. Compliance with the duty of due managerial care - in cases where the governing body members act as representatives of the juristic person - is the decisive criterion for determining whether or not they will be liable to the juristic person for any damage caused in the discharge of their office. However, it is questionable whether this is a case of fault-based liability for breach of a legal duty or strict liability for breach of a contractual obligation. The question of whether we will conceive liability of members of...

This thesis deals with the topic of privilege against self-incrimination of legal entity in administrative proceedings and in offence proceedings. The following reasons led me to the choice of this topic. First of all, it is a multidisciplinary topic involving criminal law, criminal administrative law, constitutional law, and private law, especially the regulation of legal entities. Furthermore, with the exemption of decision-making praxis of courts, and a few academic essays, attention hasn't been paid to this topic in its complexity. For this reason, this topic has offered novelty and the possibility of observing the progressive development of judicature, especially the decision-making praxis of the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic, the Supreme Administrative Court of the Czech Republic as well as the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic and the European Court of Human Rights. The first part deals with the historical origins of privilege against self-incrimination and development of the criminal proceedings over the centuries. Special attention is paid to the fact, that privilege against self-incrimination was originally part of criminal proceedings until the 12th century, when this privilege was removed from the canon law and replaced with the inquisitional process which was linked with the...
