Unfair competition

Resumé My diploma thesis is focused on unfair competition in the law of Czech Republic. The law of unfair competition is a coherent field of regulation as regards the economic competition. This sub-branch of law is a specific area of the civil law systems. Whilst antitrust, mergers and dominance on the market are subjects to the statutes using administrative methods of regulation. Competitors who used the unfair practices can be sued in civil proceedings directly by those harmed by such behavior. This thesis has two main parts, both divided into chapters and sub-chapters. First part deals with the legal regulation of unfair competition in Czech Republic and in second part I compare Czech regulation of unfair competition with the Polish one. Firs of all I explain the reader the terms "economic competition" and "unfair competition". The following chapter is devoted to the history of unfair competition, especially the beginning of legal regulations, international treaties related to unfair competition and the history of Czechoslovak and Czech legal regulation. The key point of my thesis is the analysis of legal regulation of unfair competition in Czech Commercial Code (Act 513/1991 Sb). I have primarily focused on a general provision of the unfair competition, relation of this general provision to provisions..
