The 16th year of the Scientific Conference of the Olomouc Debates of Young Lawyers will take place on 3rd November 2023 at the premises of the Faculty of Law, Palacký University. The Conference represents one of the most important events in the field of scientific life, which takes place every year at the Olomouc Faculty of Law. The conference focuses on creating a platform for meetings, discussions and an exchange of views, especially of young researchers.
We believe that the 16th year of the Olomouc debates of young lawyers will be at least as successful as the previous years and that this year will bring a lively and fruitful scientific debate again.

Individual sections and their annotations

Private Law in Recent High Court Case Law

Guarantor: doc. JUDr. Blanka Vítová, LL. M., Ph.D.
Annotation:
Thanks to its recodification, private law has been undergoing a dramatic development, which is, among other things, formulated by the case law of the high courts. The section will focus on the analysis and interpretation of theoretical and practical issues addressed by case law in all areas of private law. Within their presentations, the speakers will acquaint the audience with specific decisions of high courts concerning the application of legal instruments contained in private law regulations. The topic of the paper should include not only the informative part, but also the speaker's own critical reflection on the appropriateness (dogmatic correctness) of the jurisprudential conclusions so that the paper may be followed by a broader discussion with other participants of the session.
