Bank as a business corporation

The purpose of the submitted diploma thesis is to describe, analyse and primarily compare the legal status of commercial banks as a specific type of joint stock company under the Act No. 21/1992 Coll., the Banking Act, as amended, and the legal status of regular join stock companies under the Act No. 90/2012 Coll., on Business Companies and Cooperatives (the Corporations Act) which are not supervised by the Czech National Bank. The diploma thesis is divided into eight chapters where each of them is dealing with a different aspect of bank's business activities. The first chapter is dedicated to a brief analysis of the term bank. The second chapter is more extensive because it provides fundamental legal characteristic of incorporation and commencement of the legal existence of both a bank and regular joint stock company. In this chapter, I also compare bank's Articles of Association to regular joint stock company's Articles of Association. Attention is also given to the concept of banking license. Third chapter may be considered as the key part of this diploma thesis because it contains analysis of the bank's organisation including a description of its specifics. The third chapter namely analyses the status and authority of the General Meeting of a bank and the concept of shares representing interest..
