Comparative analysis of disciplinary responsibility of contractual employees and public officials employed in statutory organizations

This master thesis provides the analysis of aspects of disciplinary and official liability of the persons (employees and statutory civil servants) working in statutory institutions. Following the valid legislation (pursuant to the current version of 27 November 2006) and the judicial practice, the paper aims at the comparison of disciplinary and official liability of the personnel of statutory institutions by distinguishing their similarities and differences. The thesis consists of three parts, the first of which analyses the peculiarities of the legal status of the statutory institution. The second section focuses on the issue of the concurrence and differentiation of the concepts of official and disciplinary liabilities. Furthermore, in the final third part of the paper the collation of separate aspects of official and disciplinary liabilities ensures the possibility to compare them. To sum up, it may be emphasised that disciplinary and official liability of the personnel of statutory institutions include some similar aspects, though each of them bear a number of diverse specific features. Even though disciplinary liability of employees working under employment contracts in statutory institutions is attached to the category of general disciplinary liability, however, it may be assumed that the question of particular consideration of it in legal acts or distinguishing it as specific disciplinary liability is debatable. Furthermore, it shall be observed that different legislative regulation of official liability of statutory civil servants in statutory institutions is predetermined by the differentiation of official relations, as it is highlighted in the judicial practice of the Constitutional court
