The article addresses the amendment of the Act No. 250/2007 Coll. on consumer protection, implemented by the Act No. 102/2014 Coll. (valid from 1 May 2014), which laid down the ex officio obligation of the body deciding on claims from consumer contracts to take into account prescription, even if the consumer does not invoke prescription. This regulation faces many issues, not only in the area of application of law, but also in the area of legal theory. The article addresses some of these issues. The ex officio obligation of the court to take into account prescription is contrary to several legal principles, such as the principle vigilantibus leges sunt scriptae. Prescription is basically a sanction for violation of this principle. Due to the new legal act this sanction only applies to the creditor. The debtor is not obliged to observe this principle. It is also contrary to the principle of the autonomy of the will of private law subjects. In our law prescription is conceived as the concept of substantive law, which is fully in hands of the debtor who may decide whether he will or will not invoke prescription. The new legal act removes the basic difference between prescription and preclusion. This regulation of consumer protection also influences the procedural position of the parties, which is modified against the situation before the adoption of the amendment. It concerns the principle of equality of the parties to the proceedings as well as the instruction obligation of the court. There are also problems concerning the temporal applicability of the amendment.

Referendum and initiative as integral parts of participatory democracy are the key elements in preserving retained powers of the people. Diminishing the ability to guard they will by refusing to defend the outcomes of state popular vote in federal courts, leaves open question about interpretation of standing doctrines by United States Supreme Court. The same sex marriage cases present an example of different standards set by the highest court in this area. Hollingsworth v. Perry decision, stating that the official proponents of the initiative lack standing to appeal the judgement of the District Court undermines the principles of the initiative process, hence the whole concept of popular sovereignty.

The study presents a theory of irresponsible organizations. According to our definition an organization (focal one) is responsible if it hurts the interest of others (other organizations), others can re­hurt the interest of focal organization. The irresponsible organizations are immune to the re­hurting trials: cannot be re­hurt. This definition fits many types of bureaucracies, or the courts. The theory of irresponsibility of organizations helps to sketch a new organization theory of power. It is important to emphasize the definition of responsibility and irresponsibility is not an ethical one but based on power. In the interorganizational conflicts it is extremely useful to differentiate the actors how they can win or lose during the conflicts. Responsible organizations can win and lose too, but the irresponsible organization can win only. So the risk of different actors, and the behaviour of them can be differentiated according to their positions on the responsible-irresponsible scale. The first half of the article introduces the reader into the theory of irresponsible organizations (as a part of theory of power). The second half of the study deals with the court as an irresponsible organization. This paper is an introductory part of the theory of court as organization.

The towns of the pre-partition Poland were governed by a separate law, the so called Ger- man law which between the 16th and 18th centuries already differed a lot from its Magdeburgian prototype. The criminal trial used in these towns, despite some influences of the inquisitional proceedings remained the features of the plaint-contradictory procedure. The trial, in principle, started from lodging a plaint by a person in question. Thus, one can ask a question on initial and preparatory activities preceding court proceedings, examine who initiated and conducted them. The studies covered the practices of selected towns in Małopolska. It turns out that the very little information on preparatory activities conducted before the plaint was lodged is available. Thus we can assume that a small number of source information relates to the poverty of the initial activities themselves. They were most often boiled down to individual actions, aiming at, for instance, detecting the criminal and his/her capturing. In addition, only a part of them was introduced by the court, the other was taken at the request of private people and there were also the ones introduced without the engagement of a public factor. Probably, only a part of them was inquisitive in nature. What is more, we hardly notice more developed forms of proceedings which covered dif- ferent activities mutually complementing one another. Law and municipal practice clearly did not manage to shape a preparatory proceeding preceding a court trial. Instead, only its elements appeared in the form of different, often completely informal, activities.

Detailed directives for the 'Hofmeister' and preceptor of noble boys, which were analysed and published in the Appendix, enable us to understand the form of pagehood on the Court of Ferdinand I. The pages' daily programme on common and festive days is relatively well documented in the two sources. The pages were systematically trained and educated in court demeanour, so called chivalric exercises: equestrian skill, fencing, ball games, wrestling, running, bar throwing, dancing, classic languages (i.e. Latin), modern languages (i.e. German), religious studies, etc. In addition, they served the monarch at various opportunities, on everyday basis (e.g. serving him at his table) and in some more special situations (e.g. accompanying him on his journeys, or coming to meet him with lanterns when it was dark, etc.). The directives also indicate the division of authority of persons involved in training and educating the pages. They not only comment on the 'Hofmeister' and preceptor, but inform on other persons' duties, too: the sub-preceptor ('Unterpraezeptor') trabants, ('Cammertrabanten'), the landlady ('Hausfrau') and other servants or persons hired for training the boys, e.g. swordsmen. The main role of the directives lies in practical regulation of individual aspects and a thorough superintendence of the noble boys' movements and activities. Emphasis is also put on the religious aspect. Despite the confessional heterogeneity of the court organism, Lutherism was persecuted. During their tutoring, the boys' private reading was regulated and no Lutheran or other harmful books ('luterische oder schenntliche buecher') were permitted. The testifying value of both directives, however, is limited by the impossibility to clearly find out to what extent they were observed in reality. With regard to their factuality and severe sanctions, which were applied in case of violations, they were probably maintained, at least globally. In addition, the directives are not only of a normative nature, ingrained and proven routines were probably taken into account when they were conceived.

This article introduces Antal Verancsics´s life, personality and his work. He was a successful diplomat, the high priest and scientist. His work was associated with progress of the late Renaissance in Hungaria. He was in close written contact with his friends and became a part of the international „respublice litterarie”. At the time when he held the offices of the Archbishop of Ostrihom and governor of the Habsburg Emperor, he embarked twice on a long and dangerous journey to Constantinople. The Drinopol peace treaty was signed as a result of his negotiation with the Turkish sultan there. Verancsics maintained a court of his own - small but adequate to his means, that was strongly connected to him personally and dissolved after his death. The parts of his heritage have retained its importance even to the present they, including a liturgical rite book heavily influenced by the renaissance art, as well as various fragments located in the Eger basilica, which was built at his command, as well as his plans of the castle in Nové Zámky.

This article deals with current situation relating to the regulation of ethical rules within international judiciary. Unlikely of the domestic judicairies having informal international network of judges capable elaborate a number of non-binding documents relating to the conduct of judges (Bangelore principles) the situation in international judiciary is different. Due to the lack of such network only Study Group of International Law Association attempted to prepare set of principles relating exclusively to the judicial ethic of the judges of international courts and tribunals (Burgh House Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary). Apart from four international tribunals so far adopted their own ethical codes namely – European Court of Justice (first Code of Conduct of 2007 replaced in 2016 by the new Code), European Court of Human Rights (Resolution on Judicial Ethic-2008), Caribbean Court of Justice (Code of Judicial Conduct) and International Criminal Court (Code of Judicial Ethics-2004). As a basic, all ethical codes emphasized the principles of independence and impartiality of international judges and to certain extent the deal also with the principles governing the external activities of judges and their conduct relating to the participants of judicial proceedings. The main difference among them concerns the existence and availability of the procedural mechanism allow to object the alleged violations of the ethical principles by the members of international courts.

In medieval society seals used to be important instruments, bearing a wide range of applications. Closer attention is usually paid to their connection to documents with legal content. When attached to charters and letters they fulfilled several functions such as authenticating, authorizing and enclosing them. Researchers usually do not pay as much attention to other uses of seals that have no direct connection to written documents. In the Early Middle Ages, seals were also used for court summons and for sealing the wounds during ordeals. In the Late Middle Ages, we know of their application for property protection against unauthorized manipulation. Seals used to safeguard cases with seal matrices, money or insignia as well as reliquaries. This study introduces the ways seals had been used based on written legal, diplomatic and narrative sources from specific periods.

In the face of a great interest in the problem of crisis in a political, social and economic area it is important to focus on the fact that Greek text of the Holy Scriptures uses the word κρίσις for the God’s judgment. It is portrayed in the Bible with a variety of images and it is the reality that is still present in the history of mankind. A special attention is paid to the Final Judgment, one of the aspects of the Lord’s Day which will finish the history of salvation and manifest itself as parousia and epiphany. The article explains these two manifestations of Christ’s return and within epiphany it takes into consideration the Final Judgment which will be the manifestation of God’s justice in God’s whole economy of salvation.

In this publication, we primarily point out how court, judge and judging were referred to in the Nomocanon (and secondarily in other normative texts of the Great Moravian period). We will also pay attention to the origin of these terms and try to determine whether these terms were also known in Old Slavic Language, i.e. whether they were also known in the domestic language environment of Great Moravia, or whether they were brought to this environment through the activities of Constantine and Methodius. At the same time, we will try to answer the question of who performed the judging and whether the judging was performed collectively or individually in the given period. We also pay attention to how the trial was carried out, whether it was institutionalized or not. We will also try to answer the question whether it is possible to assume the existence of ecclesiastical courts already in the Great Moravian period. In terms of secular regulations, however, it is likely that written legal regulations did not play a major role in the form of valid law enforced by the state. However, that probably should not even have been its primary purpose.

The aim of the study is to present the potential of the surviving register of revenue and expenditure of the King of Hungary from 1494–1495 in relation to research on the personal composition of the royal court of Hungary and Bohemia. At the same time, emphasis was placed on the circle of persons from outside the Kingdom of Hungary. Analysis of the account material shows that after 1490, a group of people from the Czech Lands formed a group at the court in Buda that could not be overlooked. If we add to them identified courtiers of Polish – Lithuanian origin or with roots in the German regions of the Holy Roman Empire, they make up more than 60% of the people of noble origin, who gave colour to the court of King Vladislav Jagiello in Buda. A detailed prosopographical analysis of Vladislav’s court in the period 1490–1516 is still lacking. However, the partial analysis of the situation in the mid 1490s shows that it was not just the Hungarian court with a not very important Bohemian appendix, but an institution fully representing both the Hungarian and Bohemian parts of Vladislav’s realms.

This study is a result of research devoted to the ruling court in the Middle Ages. Individual examples portray the ruling court of King Wenceslas II. (1283-1305). Here, the court is introduced as a social system, which is reflected in individual personalities, in the structure, representation and space. The social system and its fundamental features: structural-organizational elements and interaction, which form the basis of any social system, are emphasised as the only possible paradigmatic levels when forming a model definition describing a medieval court, which otherwise changes in time and space. In addition, different manifestations are displayed during the reign of each ruler following from the subjective approach of that ruler. Terminological terms familia, curia minor and major are analysed, as well as their use in historical sources. The second part is devoted to the mechanisms of communication, which the ruler's favours mediate at court. Benefit or profit for courtiers, and the ruler as well, are judged to be joint factors in all the activities at a ruling court.
