Šafárika v Košiciach už v poradí 13. stretnutie katedier obchodného práva Právnických fakúlt univerzít Českej republiky a Slovenskej republiky, čo len dokumentuje, že myšlienka každoročného stretávania sa predstaviteľov katedier obchodného práva, ktorú incioval prof. Bejček z Právnickej fakulty Masarykovej univerzity Brno, padla na úrodnú pôdu a verme, že takéto stretnutia budú pokračovať aj naďalej. Nielen pre zachovanie tradície ale hlavne pre osožnosť takýchto stretnutí a záujem ich účastníkov stretávať sa.

Tradičnou súčasťou týchto stretnutí, okrem výmeny poznatkov a informácií z realizácie pedagogického procesu a výmeny skúseností je aj vedecká konferencia zameraná na aktuálne otázky obchodného práva. Tohtoročná konferencia sa uskutočnila pod názvom Slovenské a české obchodné právo v roku 2015 – Vybrané problémy. Z jednotlivých katedier je do zborníka z konferencie zaradených celkom 17 príspevkov, ktoré sú rozdelené do troch problémových okruhov. Prvý okruh príspevkov tvoria príspevky tematicky zamerané na vybrané problémy právnej úpravy obchodných spoločností a jej praktickej realizácie. Do druhého okruhu sú zaradené príspevky orientované na oblasť rozhodcovského konania a na konkurzné právo. Do ostatného okruhu sú zaradené príspevky zamerané na výklad novelizovanej úpravy úrokov z omeškania v obchodných záväzkových vzťahoch a na problémy pri aplikácii tejto úpravy, na problematiku výkladu právnych úkonov úpravy obsiahnutej v novom českom Občianskom zákonníku. Súčasťou tejto časti je tiež informatívny príspevok o vývoji slovinského obchodného práva a jeho súčasnej podobe.

In addition to acquiring theoretical knowledge, it is necessary to study and analyze the decisions of international judicial and arbitration bodies in order to fully understand the subject of the Public International Law or disciplines closely related to it.

Since the Slovak literature in the field of Public International Law does not contain any electronic textbook of selected decisions of international judicial and arbitration bodies, the authors of the submitted publication aim to eliminate this gap by elaborating the “Public International Law Casebook”, which will primarily be intended for undergraduate students of the law faculties in the Slovak republic and the Czech republic.

The proposed publication seeks to make the study of international law more attractive through a publication that will make students familiar with the decisions translated into the Slovak language in a popular electronic form.

Zborník príspevkov z II. ročníka študentského sympózia z pracovného práva konaného v dňoch 12. – 13. mája 2017 v Danišovciach

Predkladaný zborník je výstupom vedeckých prác študentov Právnickej fakulty Univerzity P. J. Šafárika v Košiciach a je systematicky rozdelených do dvoch častí.Prvá časť predstavuje interdisciplinárne prieniky jazykovedy a pracovného práva pri jeho tvorbe, výklade a aplikácii. Druhá časť otvára problematiku postihovania adresáta (pracovno)právnych noriem cez rôzne variácie sankcií. Prílohou zborníka je dotazník zostavený riešiteľmi grantového projektu, ktorého úlohou je zistiť, či a v ktorých aspektoch sa Zákonník práce svojim jazykovo-štylistickým spracovaním vzďaľuje od svojich adresátov. Niet totiž inej právnej normy, ktorá by bola účastníkom pracovnoprávnych vzťahov bližšie, a ktorej porozumenie na najvyššej možnej úrovni je odôvodnené jej každodenným používaním. Predkladaný zborník príspevkov sa tak prezentuje ako forma podpory rozširovania obzorov našich študentov za hranice ich bežného štúdia i ako prostriedok popularizácie vedeckého výskumu. V prípade záujmu cteného čitateľa, je možné vyplnený dotazník poslať na adresu: jana.zulova (@) upjs.sk.

Legal norms regulate everyday life. We learn about the rights and obligations that arise for us from these norms through language. It is therefore very important that they are created in such a way that all levels of society understand them, not only recipients with legal education.

The Labour Code is a norm of everyday use, and so far there is no publication that approximates or clarifies the understanding of the provisions of this law through the prism of its language. The main goal of the publication is to apply the acquired linguistic knowledge about the pitfalls of the comprehensibility of legal language for the general public to the Labour Code and thus enable its more adequate understanding. Our ambition is not a comprehensive interpretation of the provisions of the Labour Code, which give the impression of incomprehensibility for the average addressee.

We focused on selected problematic phenomena observed and identified during the solution of the VEGA grant project no. 1/0526/17 Linguistic and Sanctioning Mechanisms in the Creation and Operation of Labor Law Norms and strived for a conceptual approach to their examination enriched by empirical research.

The Department of Commercial and Economic Law at the Faculty of Law, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, organized the sixth annual Student Symposium on Commercial Law on November 28, 2018. The event was part of the research project VEGA 1/0917/16 titled "Atypical and De Facto Relationships in Commercial Law." The symposium aims to provide a platform for discussion among students with the guidance of mentors from the department, including professors, researchers, and doctoral candidates.

This year’s symposium focused on protection against anti-competitive practices. Unchecked anti-competitive behavior could grant economic advantages to violators at the expense of other competitors and threaten the free-market system. Students explored various challenges related to competition law, analyzing Slovak and European legal frameworks as well as court rulings and decisions by other authorities. Through their research, students honed their analytical thinking, argumentation skills, and critical reasoning. The discussions generated new perspectives and encouraged active engagement among participants.

This proceedings volume presents the outcomes of students' work from this event.

The present monograph "Regionalism and its Contribution to General International Law" was written at the Institute of European Law and Department of International Law, Faculty of Law, Pavol Jozef Safarik University in Kosice, as a part of the project (APVV-O823-11) carried out in 2011-2015, representing one of its final publication utputs. 

The main reason for choosing the topic was to evaluate regionalism in its various relationships and forms with respect to international law, and also to evaluate the place,importance and duties of international law in respect to the establishment and functioning of various forms of regionalgroups.

It is a fact that even though a lot of attention has been paid to regionalism, a more complex evaluation of the impact it has had on international law, and vice versa, is still lacking. The efforts of the present monograph are to partially eliminate this gap.

After giving a brief insight into how regionalism has developed, its content and terminology, the monograph studies in more details individual types of regionalism in the form of old and new regionalism, as well as treaty and institutional regionalism; its specifications and contributions to the international law.

Zborník vedeckých prác

Ústava Slovenskej republiky garantuje v článku 35 právo každého na slobodnú voľbu povolania a prípravu naň, ako aj právo podnikať a uskutočňovať inú zárobkovú činnosť. Každý má právo slobodne sa rozhodnúť, či si prostriedky na živobytie zabezpečí prácou ako samostatne zárobkovo činná osoba so všetkými dôsledkami a rizikami z toho vyplývajúcimi, alebo ako zamestnanec v pracovnoprávnych vzťahoch výkonom závislej práce. Mantinely a pravidlá výkonu uvedených práv sú regulované predovšetkým predpismi pracovného, obchodného aj daňového práva, s korpusom práv a povinností patriacich osobitne podnikateľom a osobitne zamestnancom. Neustály tlak konkurencie i dôsledky ekonomickej krízy privádzajú zamestnávateľov k hľadaniu cestičiek ako od vykonávateľov práce dosiahnuť čo najviac, za optimalizácie čo najnižších poistných, administratívnych i daňových nákladov. Pracovné pomery so zamestnancami sú ukončované a pod tlakom straty prostriedkov na živobytie sa „dobrovoľne“ menia na vzťahy obchodnoprávne. Nielen táto, ale aj ďalšie deformácie trhu práce konfrontujú subjekty práva na prácu s neférovými praktikami zamestnávateľov, čím minimalizujú možnosť realizácie slobody pri uplatňovaní tohto základného práva.

Riešením malo byť legislatívne zakotvenie definície závislej práce zákonom č. 348/2007 Z. z., ktorým sa novelizoval Zákonník práce. Či sa fenoménu „nútených živností“ a ďalších foriem zastretých pracovnoprávnych vzťahov podarilo vývojom definície závislej práce zabrániť, je základnou výskumnou otázkou viacerých vedeckých príspevkov v predkladanom zborníku vedeckých prác. Ambíciou autorského kolektívu je snaha o identifikáciu negatívnych javov trhu práce v korelácii s nedokonalosťami a medzerami pracovnoprávnej úpravy, ktoré spôsobujú jeho neželané deformácie. Ich dôsledné skúmanie v teoreticko-právnej rovine vyústi do výsledkov a návrhov de lege ferenda, ktoré sú súčasne riešeniami grantového projektu Vega č. 1/0805/13 „Optimalizácia usporiadania modelu pracovných vzťahov na trhu práce v Slovenskej republike“.
