Course objectives
The course focuses on commercial obligations, especially commercial contracts. The aim of the course is to broaden the basic knowledge of contract law and to develop skills so that students are able to deal with complex cases they may encounter in legal practice. This is not only about knowledge of the legal regulation of individual institutes, but also their complex interrelation from a functional perspective across different areas of regulation, complemented by typical contractual solutions. At the same time, the subject matter of the course also includes certain types of contracts that are not discussed in civil law (e.g. contract for work, commercial agency, letter of credit, collection, credit, transport, forwarding, storage, etc. ) To a limited extent, the teaching will also focus on the acquisition of passive and active contracting skills - analysis and creation of contractual arrangements (there is not enough space for the creation of entire contracts in the basic course, but in the next semester we offer a follow-up elective course MVD029K).
Learning outcomes
- Understanding the interrelationships and use of contractual instruments in a comprehensive, functional perspective - a deeper understanding of the contractual instruments that are most widely used in business practice - knowledge of selected contract types that have not been sufficiently covered in the civil law curriculum - the ability to analyse contractual proposals, their modification, the formulation of selected clauses - linking knowledge from all areas of commercial law

Teaching methods
Teaching takes the form of lectures (once a week) and seminars (once a week). The lectures have a cognitive purpose, while the seminars are designed to practice especially the ability to apply legal regulations to specific situations and to develop other skills and abilities. In the seminars, specific examples are solved and discussed, which are given in advance.
Assessment methods
Completion of the seminars requires continuous preparation and performance of tasks according to the assignment of the teacher. The course is completed by a written comprehensive examination, which includes not only the syllabus of the subject Commercial Law III, but also verifies the ability to connect knowledge in the whole area of commercial law, i.e. it includes all the syllabus of the subjects Commercial Law I-III. A prerequisite for access to the examination is obtaining credits in Business Law I and II; a prerequisite is also fulfilling the obligations in the Business Law III seminar course and obtaining access to the examination from the seminar teacher. Credit may be given for excellent results in Business Law I and II and in the Business Law III seminar course. Since the curriculum builds to a large extent on the knowledge already acquired in civil law, a good knowledge of the statutory regulations is assumed, especially the general part of the law of obligations (§ 1721-2054 of the Civil Code), the general part of civil law (especially § 1-22, 30, 118-213, 489, 492, 495-501, 510-514, 545-589, 600-654, 976-978, 1099-1133 of the Civil Code), of the contractual types, in particular the basics of the contract of sale (§2079-2156 of the Civil Code), order, commission and mediation (§2430-2470 of the Civil Code), the basics of compensation for damages (§2894-2919, 2951-2955, 2969 of the Civil Code) and unjust enrichment (§2991-3005 of the Civil Code). Due to the inseparable thematic continuity, knowledge of this textbook is also necessary for the purposes of Commercial Law III and can be the subject of the Commercial Law III examination.
