The complex of legal norms protecting work, ensuring safety and health protection at work, is very broad in scope, extending beyond the Labour Code to include other specific legal regulations, collective agreements, executive legal regulations, and internal corporate normative acts.

Health protection of employees from hazardous workplace influences is a central requirement stemming from fundamental human rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the Slovak Republic. To ensure its universal enforcement across all employers in both private and public sectors, strict regulation through cogent norms is fully justified. The European Commission’s Communication to the European Parliament, Council, European Economic and Social Committee, and Committee of the Regions on the EU Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work 2014–2020 (COM(2014) 332 final) addresses the need to account for labor market changes arising from demographic shifts, aging populations, and technological advancements.

Work pace demands are intensifying, and all age categories of employees must adapt to new technologies, organizational changes, and evolving job structures. This increases requirements for maintaining health fitness throughout entire professional careers. Mental health fitness, which receives insufficient specific attention, is an inherent part of health fitness requirements. Prevention plays a critical role in mental health protection.

Collection of scientific works

The year 2020 has been marked globally by an unprecedented situation related to the spread of Covid-19 since its beginning. At the start of this calendar year, as our organizational team began preparing for another edition, we still hoped that our traditional autumn conference was far away, and in this maximum optimism, we launched the organization of the jubilee 10th edition of our now-traditional conference. This conference has become a stable part of scientific and professional conference events under domestic conditions and has become a stable part of many people's work programs. However, 2020 was almost entirely filled with restrictions from its start, with these restrictions affecting even the organization of conferences. Our 10th Law – Business – Economy Conference fell victim to this current situation and had to be canceled "with gritted teeth." The situation allows us nothing but hope that in 2021 we will be able to meet at our traditional location in High Tatras. We take these meetings for granted; if this situation is good for nothing else, it at least serves as a slowdown and an awareness of our own vulnerability.

See you at the next edition of Law-Business-Economics in October 2021.

You are receiving a collection of scientific papers published in connection with the resolution of scientific projects at the Department of Commercial Law and Economic Law as the main organizer of the scientific conference, as well as other departments of the Faculty of Law at UPJŠ in Košice, and many academic workplaces both domestically and abroad. The collection is published with support from the Agency for Support of Research and Development. The editors thank all who contributed to it with their scientific articles, as well as reviewers for their valuable comments and recommendations.

Proceedings of the 5th Year of the Student Symposium of Labour Law

New trends in the digital age around the world do not avoid the labour market and the labour law relations. Do labour law standards and employers' practices correspond to the actual factors that influence an individual's physical or mental condition? Does digitization, including artificial intelligence, bring improvements or threats? Is the protection of employees' mental health paid equal attention that to the protection of physical health? The Department of Labour Law and Social Security Law of the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice examines and analyzes legal aspects of new risks that threaten and affect individual health in the work environment within the researching of the project APVV-16-0002 - Mental Health in the Workplace and Employee Health Assessment.

The members of the department, with the theme of the 5th year of the student symposium "New Challenges of Employees´ Health Protection" created an opportunity for students to search deeper current legal issues and reflect the results of their creative work in the submitted papers. The proceedings of papers of the student symposium is rich in content and offers the reader the space to get acquainted with interesting questions and application problems accompanying them.

The presented Collection Volume is dedicated to three framework areas, namely justice, community and freedom. These are the thematic areas of the 30th IVR World Congress, on the occasion of which a meeting of its Slovak section was held. The published contributions focus on the main topic of the congress, which is also the central topic of legal and social sciences. Thus, in the Collection we will find reflections on the freedom of the individual in society, its various shades of meaning and forms. The question of the organization of social relations in the form of the degree of participation of citizens in state power in the context of the democratic form of government and its current challenges should not be neglected either. Thus, the institutions of direct and indirect democracy, the dangers of the lures of the so-called totalitarian democracy, or the question of identities in a postmodern pluralistic society. The question of justice in procedural law is not avoided either.

The collection thus provides the reader with a wide area of research from legal-philosophical questions, through questions of the theory of the constitutional state, to their application in legal practice. Geographically, it maps the events in the Central European and wider European area with an impact on their global dimension. The publication can thus become a useful source of knowledge and current developments in jurisprudence and its main topics with the aim of a better understanding of social reality.

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“.

The scientific monograph The H(andb)ook of Legal Feminism: The Concept, Nature, Features, Development and Forms of Legal Feminism presents for the first time the issue of legal feminism in Slovak jurisprudence in such a comprehensive way. Author analyzes legal feminism as a distinctive movement of legal philosophy and legal theory. He places legal feminism in the broader framework of general feminism. The internal ideological and developmental diversity of legal feminism brings the author´s examinations before the effort to systematize according to ideological and theoretical similarities or differences with emphasize to the development of feminism in different waves. In this regarding, author presents various forms of feminism and legal feminism, including their most important representatives. The increased view of the monograph deals with contemporary Anglo-American feminism since the end of the 1960s till the present, i.e., the period from which legal feminism emerged as a conceptual and critical movement of legal thinking. Author analyzes the critical view of legal feminism on law and current legal policy. He specifies abstract and basic theoretical features of the feminist jurisprudence. In this regard, the author pays attention to important concepts, categories, ideological assumptions, or methodological and methodological frame of feminist legal science. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of the development of diverse forms of legal feminism the monograph also focuses on the normative side of feminist theory of law, which challenges the modern jurisprudence in elimination of gender and gender as legally relevant criteria.

The Department of Commercial Law and Economic Law together with the Department of Labour Law and Social Security Law of the Faculty of Law of UPJŠ in Košice organized the 8th annual student symposium, this time on commercial, labour and private international law, which took place at the Faculty of Law of UPJŠ in Košice on 1 December 2023. The student symposium under the title Commercial and Labour Law on a Common Wave was carried out as part of the research projects VEGA 1/0259/22 and VEGA č. 1/0291/23. The aim of the annual symposia is to create a discussion platform for students under the supervision of mentors from among the members of the department, namely teachers, researchers and PhD students. The theme of this year's symposium brought about discussion of interesting theoretical and practical legal issues thematically focused on the synergy of business law and labour law. The students addressed topical issues related to the status of entrepreneurs, the conduct of companies in labour law relations as well as the duties and responsibilities of employees. The topics of the sharing economy, gender quotas in corporate bodies and unfair bribery were not forgotten. While working on individual topics, students had the opportunity to improve their analytical thinking and argumentation skills, while they could practice writing a legal professional text, which in practice often increases the success of every lawyer. Students had the opportunity to develop their critical thinking and learn how to clearly formulate their own opinions on current legal issues. After the presentation of the papers, not only the team of lecturers and researchers, but also the students themselves engaged in a fruitful discussion, asking a number of original questions. Each student participant was awarded a certificate for their active participation in the symposium. The present proceedings are the outcome of the students' work from this event.

Zborník príspevkov z I. ročníka študentského sympózia z pracovného práva konaného v dňoch 8. – 9. apríla 2016 v Danišovciach

Diskusie k téme súkromia sú v súčasnej dobe veľmi aktuálne a zaujímavé. Zdokonaľovanie a progres technológií pridali súkromiu jednotlivca nový rozmer. S používaním moderných elektronických výdobytkov sa v spojitosti so súkromím skloňujú slová ako vzácny artikel, chiméra či ilúzia. Voči modernizácii nezostali imúnne ani pracoviská. Stroje nahrádzajú prácu ľudí, programujú a plánujú výrobný proces, ale aj kontrolujú, monitorujú a zaznamenávajú plnenie zadaných pracovných úloh. Dostupnosť technológií a ich zavádzanie do prevádzok zamestnávateľov narúša osobnú a osobnostnú sféru zamestnancov, ktorá je imanentnou súčasťou života každej osoby a nezostáva ponechaná za dverami pracoviska. Správne a korektné využívanie kontrolného mechanizmu zamestnávateľmi znamená nielen zvládnutie jeho technickej inštalácie na pracovisku a úhradu na to finančne vynaložených nákladov, ale aj rešpekt k súkromiu zamestnanca. Nemožno opomenúť, že právo na súkromie patrí medzi základné ľudské práva a slobody požívajúc tomu zodpovedajúcu charakteristiku (neodnateľnosť, nescudziteľnosť, nezrušiteľnosť...) a príslušnú právnu ochranu. A aj keď nie je absolútne, a môže byť suspendované v prospech iného práva (predovšetkým práva zamestnávateľa na ochranu jeho vlastníctva), každý zásah akým je plošné kamerové sledovanie, monitoring telefonátov, emailovej pošty, blokovanie určitých internetových stránok a pod. má vždy nepriaznivé dôsledky na súkromie zamestnanca.

Zborník z III. študentského sympózia z obchodného práva

V novembri 2015 sa v univerzitnom účelovom zariadení v Danišovciach uskutočnil už tretí ročník študentského sympózia z obchodného práva. Po dvoch rokoch sympózií zameraných na právo obchodných spoločností bola strešnou témou tretieho ročníka všeobecná časť obchodného záväzkového práva. Aj v tomto roku ostalo cieľom študentského sympózia vytvoriť väčší priestor formulovať vlastný pohľad na určitú aktuálnu právnu problematiku a prezentovať výsledky vlastnej práce.
Strešná problematika umožnila zadať viaceré aktuálne témy a študenti tak mohli spracovať problémy, s ktorými sa pravdepodobne budú boriť aj v budúcej praxi. Zvolené témy nepatria medzi témy jednohlasne vnímané právnou doktrínou, resp. ustálenou judikatúrou. Práve naopak, zámerne boli zvolené témy, o ktorých niet mnoho tuzemských literárnych zdrojov. Na spracovanie jednotlivých tém tak nepostačovali bežné učebnicové či komentárové znalosti.
Zapojení členovia katedry, tak z radov učiteľov, ako aj doktorandov, pôsobili aj v tomto roku skôr ako kontaktné osoby, než ako konzultanti či vedúci práce študentov.
Primárnym účelom sympózii na fakulte je umožniť študentom prejavujúcim záujem o obchodné právo rozvinúť analytické či argumentačné schopnosti, ale aj prejavenie osobnosti študenta. Chceme, aby poslucháči rozvíjali nielen odborné znalosti, ale aj osobné schopnosti, tzv. soft skills, umenie prezentovať vlastný názor a presvedčivo argumentovať.
Výsledky práce študentov môžete vidieť v tomto zborníku.
Nám ostáva dúfať, že aj iní poslucháči budú mať záujem prehĺbiť svoje poznatky a prezentovať výsledky vlastnej práce na nasledujúcich sympóziách. Veríme, že školské kurikulum sa už nadlho podarilo rozšíriť o ďalšie fakultatívne podujatie.

The presented monograph is dedicated to the reforms of local administration in the middle of the 19th century, which led to the introduction of municipalism - the nationalization of local administration. The work is primarily devoted to the analysis of the differences between legal articles 42/1870 and 21/1884, the second of which has so far been considered by Slovak legal historians as an amendment. I will explain the differences in the text of both standards, as well as by pointing out the practice of applying both standards in local practice in Abov and Turňa, the legal article 21/1884 is applicable, it is recoded and after the thresholds of the Czechoslovakia it was received as an obligation of the local sparva in Slovakia and is valid even in the time of Conclusion The Trianon peace treaty.

Preložená vysokoškolská učebnica je venovaná problematike trestného práva procesného, ktorú autori v rovnakom zložení spracovali v roku 2006, bezprostredne po účinnosti nového rekodifikovaného Tr. por. – zák. č. 301/2005 Z.z. Obdobie, ktoré uplynulo od účinnosti tejto právnej normy nepochybne prispelo k potvrdeniu či ustáleniu názorov na niektoré nové inštitúty a súčasne si vyžiadalo potrebu reagovať na početné novelizácie tohto zákona.

Štruktúra predloženej publikácie, členenie do jednotlivých kapitol, v podstate korešponduje s úpravou jednotlivých inštitútov obsiahnutých v Tr. poriadku, a to od úpravy základných pojmov, prameňov, zásad trestného konania, cez postavenie jednotlivých subjektov trestného konania, procesné úkony, inštitúty zaisťovacej povahy a dôkaznej povahy, jednotlivé štádia trestného konania až po úpravu právneho styku s cudzinou, resp. trov trestného konania. Ako už bolo uvedené, autori reagujú na pomerne časté a v mnohých prípadoch aj výrazné zmeny úpravy rekodofikovaného Tr. poriadku, vrátane súvisiacich právnych predpisov, prezentujú svoje názory i názory mnohých iných odborníkov na spracovanú problematiku a tieto konfrontujú s poznatkami z praxe, vrátane uvádzania aktuálnej iudikatúry.

Ambíciou autorov tak bolo a naďalej zostáva, ponúknuť predovšetkým študentom právnických fakúlt základnú učebnú pomôcku pre štúdium trestného práva procesného.

The exploration of the interplay between innovation and society elucidates fundamental connections between human advancement and societal transformation. Technological development and its dissemination profoundly influence both the economy and social structures, often restructuring them while presenting new challenges and opportunities. This monograph delves into the theme of "Innovation and Society", focusing specifically on how technological advancements impact various facets of society ‒ from the realm of work to social policies and the evolution of gender roles. These areas are approached through a novel lens, examining them from the perspective of legislative reforms enacted and endorsed by the state. The monograph examines the characteristics and legal framework of 20th-century Hungarian society using diverse laws, regulations, and statistical data. Through analyses and documented evidence, it offers a comprehensive understanding of societal structure and operations, encompassing aspects such as the labor market, female employment, the status of industry and commerce, and shifts in legal frameworks. Detailed statistical insights into population dynamics, labor market trends, and economic sectors further deepen our comprehension of social processes. The documents scrutinize the employment distribution and conditions across different sectors, including food processing and milling, while also providing specific details on the roles, distribution, and wages of women in the workforce, with particular emphasis on occupations where women are prominently engaged. The analysis of legislative provisions delineates the historical backdrop and measures enacted for fostering social and economic transformations, covering issues such as patent legislation, guardianship laws, and family law. This compilation offers an exhaustive overview of 20th-century Hungarian society and its legal underpinnings, enriching scholarly inquiries into historical and sociological dimensions within this domain.
