Aims
The main objective of the course is to gain a basic orientation in legal disciplines in the profile of private law with a focus on business practices. For this it is necessary to learn legal terminology and the scheme of legislation. The aim is for students to be able to locate the relevant legislation and assess a situation in terms of legal norms. Students will gain the ability to apply legal provisions in practice, for example to assess the content of contracts, assess the consequences of legal proceedings, assert their rights in court, evaluate suitable forms of business, assess the form of employment relationship and the rights and duties linked to it.Knowledge: Students will know the basic rules of civil and labour law. Students will be familiarised with legal terminology, with the division of parties and cases, with the consequences of the passage of time, with absolute property rights (right in rem, law of succession) and relative (contracts), with the consequences of infringement, with the possibilities of forensic recovery, with the creation, changes to and termination of labour relations (employment and agreement on agreements on work performed outside employment), and with the rights and duties of employees and employers.Skills: Students learn about legal terminology and will be able to work with the text of laws. Students will be able to judge a right or obligation with respect to its establishment, changes, termination and securing, are able to evaluate the course of the statute of limitations, evaluate the situation and take appropriate measures (including forensic recovery).Abilities: Students gain knowledge to such an extent that they can competently discuss the content of contracts, judge the authorisation of a person to act, evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of contractual agreements from the position the party for which they are acting and assess the practical impact of contractual negotiations (securing obligations, limitation of liability). They will be able to write an action and assert their rights in civil judicial proceedings, including enforcement proceedings. Students will be prepared to apply their knowledge in labour relations, from the conclusion of employment contracts, through changes in these, to possible enforcing of employment entitlements (for example as a result of the invalid termination of employment).
