Judicial Protection

This paper is devoted to the issue of judicial protection in case of (or against) administrative silence (inactivity) and its effectiveness on the case study of the Czech Republic. The aim of judicial protection against administrative silence is to help solving or terminating administrative silence quickly, otherwise, an imaginary vicious circle is created. The purpose of the paper is to verify whether judicial protection is indeed effective by surveying the related legislation and court practice (especially the length of proceedings) dealing with the so-called inactivity. The methods of analysis applied are normative analysis, literature review, statistical analysis of decision-making activities of courts and deduction. Our findings establish that due to the excessive length of court proceedings and incomprehensible legal regulation it is difficult to view the judicial protection against administrative silence as being a speedy and effective instrument of remediation of inactivity on the part of administrative authorities. The results can serve as a ground to compare the situation with other similar countries and to exchange best practices.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of key practices that may be adopted by the universities in order to advance mediation as a dispute resolution method among young professionals and key stakeholders of dispute resolution. The findings are based on the case study of the Charles University, Faculty of Law, which has been chosen due to its sharp rise in the number and variety of theoretical and practical university offerings related to mediation. It, therefore, represents a sustainable model of a progressive university program. The authors describe and analyse a full range of its university classes, summer schools, workshops, student societies, competitions, and conferences, many of which are self-organized by the students and university alumni themselves. They report how the various mediation activities developed over time, what contributed to their success, or posed a challenge, and offer an insight into the specific curriculums and practical methodologies. While they may be context and location-specific, the authors believe they are transferable and have the potential to serve as valuable inspiration for other developing ADR programs. To put those educational efforts into a broader context, the authors consider the state of the legal development of mediation in the Czech Republic. e Mediation has been introduced into its respective legal system only after the establishment of the democratic government in 1989, due to it being a communist country. Yet it took more than twenty years to adopt a legal framework that would regulate the basic principles of mediation and its exercise. Furthermore, the authors briefly draw attention to some of the challenges mediation is facing in the Czech Republic after the adoption of the Mediation Act in 2012. They consider in more detail how the specific obstacles may be mitigated by the proactive approach of the universities, especially law faculties, which have a direct relationship with the future driving forces of dispute resolution, such as future legislators, judges, and other professionals. The authors express a notion that the university activities are likely to have a positive impact on the (herein referred to as “ADR”) culture in the Czech Republic, especially in the following years, which is supported by the latest programs developed by government institutions and private parties which are emerging continuously, some of which have direct or indirect relationships, and contact with the university environment. Finally, they provide concrete recommendations as a list of best practices, which were gathered from the analysis of the case study of Charles University.

The Czech Republic has a very long history of dementia research, and the findings of Professor Pick and Dr Fischer at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, respectively, are worth mentioning. At present, dementia is a topic of increasing importance for health and social care systems in the Czech Republic, and the National Action Plan on Alzheimer´s Disease (NAPAD) was approved by the Government in 2016. It outlines the main challenges in dementia care and also formulates the necessary steps towards improvement in this area, as well as the general principles that are necessary for improving the quality of life of people with dementia and their families. Health and social care systems have undergone substantial changes in the last decades. Despite the many achievements and improvements in both the health and social care systems, there are persistent shortcomings, particularly with regard to their coordination.

Considering the increase in the number of cases of domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is relevant to study the practices of combating domestic violence, which have become effective in individual countries. The problem of domestic violence is global and various countries have been working to overcome it for a long time. Eastern European countries, especially the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland, have made significant progress in combating domestic violence. Therefore, it is appropriate to study their experience. The article examines state policy, national legislation and best practices for preventing and combating domestic violence in these countries.

The paper outlines the backgrounds related to the necessity of searching for the new methods of assessing preliminary impacts of the rural development programmes. That is why the content analysis is tested in this paper for its possibilities to observe the preliminary impacts of one of the rural development tools – the Community initiative LEADER+ in the Czech Republic. The research pointed out that content analysis might be an appropriate method to define some impacts (and also the efficiency) of the LEADER+ approach. The results demonstrated that the transparency and public accountability of some local action groups (LAG) activities are not always on a high level. Also the differences among the LAGs are shown as for their ability to learn the principles of the LEADER+. The method also enabled to estimate how the LEADER+ contributes to eliminate the social exclusion in the countryside. It also pointed out a lower representation of farming oriented projects in the LEADER+ approach. The content analysis reflected the transfer of the best practices among the territories and also the possible knowledge of the public about the LEADER+ approach and about the projects implemented in this initiative.

In the Czech Republic the low attention is paid on evaluation of public R&D&I expenditures effi ciency, as also revealed the International Audit of the R&D&I System. Therefore, the main article’s aim is, by comparing with foreign best practices and recommendation of the European Commission, to point the most signifi cant weaknesses out and to sketch a general framework for new R&D&I programmes evaluation. The article is structured into fi ve relatively independent parts. The fi rst one defi nes programme evaluation, the next one summarises foreign best practices, the third one gives a brief summary of main methods and approaches and last but not least the fi fth part suggests the new general framework for evaluation of Czech R&D&I programmes.

This study presents a comparison of the performance and the ranking of pork producers in 16 countries over the period 2012–2017. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to make the ranking and identify the best practices among the involved countries (“peers”). For the DEA analysis, the output is aggregated into the category Carcass meat production in sow/year/kg, the inputs into Feed costs, Other variable costs, Labor costs, Depreciation and finance costs. In the first round of evaluation, only Brazil, the USA and The Netherlands were designated as peers. Significant differences between the highest-ranking values (1) and the lowest-ranking values (0.709) showed greater differences between European and non-European pork manufacturers. To get more European countries among the peers, non-European countries the USA and Brazil were excluded from the second round of evaluation. The second round of evaluation indicated that Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain are efficient producers with regard to the given inputs. The ratings of Germany, Italy and France are close to one (with differences of less than 4%); therefore, these countries can also be classified as efficient units. The identification of peers among selected EU producers represents “best practices” in the field.

The article deals with possibilities of government involvement in the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Some member states, such as the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands, have already prepared strategic documents in the field of CSR. In the Czech Republic we are just at the beginning of the formulation of national documents and the increased state involvement in CSR concept. A positive aspect is the launch of the preparatory activities for the formulation of the National CSR Strategy and National Action Plan for CSR by the Ministry of Industry and Trade as the CSR coordinator in the Czech Republic.The government of the Czech Republic should focus their attention on the preparation of strategic documents in the CSR area and on a possible extend of the basic ideas of social responsibility among managers of small and medium-sized companies. In this way these companies will be fully engaged in this concept (especially by creating contact points, e-learning supports and the possibility of consultations with employees of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Trade as CSR coordinator). In this respect, it is possible to use the examples of a good practice from selected EU member states whose governments are addressing to an issue of an involvement of small and medium-sized companies in the CSR concept (e.g. Great Britain, Germany and the Netherlands). It is also possible to use the results of surveys conducted among small and medium-sized enterprises in the Czech Republic in the years 2007–2013.
