Today’s Labour Law acknowledges the importance of flexibility in the individual work relationships by the widescale use of teleworking programs. However, the teleworking phenomenon proliferates in parallel with an opposite trend, by which teleworkers are less protected, as a consequence of the current practices by which they are required to respond work-related calls at any time, wherever they are, and the general standards regulating the working time are ignored. While the European Union states show obvious concern with removing such risks, the practice of the Court of Justice of the European Union, given in its interpretation of the Directive concerning certain aspects in the organization of working time, is extremely important. The present study starts from the analysis of certain points in the content of the Working Time Directive 2003/88 adopted across the European Union with regard to the working time, and goes on to provide an overview of relevant decisions issued by the CJEU on working time, then draws conclusions on the legal framework (juridical regime) of on-call duty in the case of teleworkers.

In the workplaces, the work force being employed by private entities and contract workers are facing various unfair labour practices and as such excluded from labour protection law. Instances of human rights abuses abound, and these have severe socioeconomic implications on atypical workers. This paper examines how atypical workers face inhuman treatment, discrimination and denial of basic labour rights and benefits in the workplace. The paper also looks at whether there is any semblance of labour protection extended to atypical workers. It is observed that such interventions have not provided strong protection for atypical workers hence they are still exposed to various labour vulnerabilities, discrimination, mistreatment, abuses and denial of benefits and socio and economic securities.

The procedure and internal functioning of a limited liability company in the conditions of the Slovak Republic seemed to be a long-settled question. However, the opposite is true. We were particularly interested in the question of how a de facto non-existent person can act and thereby have certain rights and obligations. As part of the study, we came across numerous jurisprudence, which completes our understanding of the term executive and also defines the framework of his actions. A very important issue is the definition of the relationship between the limited liability company and the manager. The reason is the fact that it is a business-legal relationship and therefore the protection provided to this relationship is lower compared to civil-law relationships or labor relations. In addition to the examination of a limited liability company and its manager, we focus primarily on a critical analysis of the commercial and labor law relationship between the manager and the limited liability company. To achieve our goal, we use several scientific methods designed for the study of law, such as analysis, synthesis, comparison, deduction, description. In conclusion we will critically evaluate the results of our investigation, we will compare the development of Slovak, European and Czech jurisprudence in the context of its influence on the investigated issue. At the same time, we answer the research question whether it is possible to perform the function of an executive on the basis of an employment contract.

It is indisputable that ignorance, or lack of interest, as well as underestimation of the importance of environmental protection, has an impact not only on the quality of the environment but also poses a significant risk to human health, as well as all other organisms on Earth. It is for this reason that the issue of environmental protection is increasingly discussed, topical and desirable not only at the level of individual states but also within the international community. Taking into account the above, it is for this reason that the issue of environmental protection is increasingly discussed, topical and desirable not only at the level of individual states but also within the international community. Taking into account the above, the authors in the presented article deal with a critical assessment of the appropriateness of the proposal contained in the embedding of the special crime of ecocide originating from 2021 in the Rome Statute, including the formulation of appropriate de lege ferenda proposals.

One of the main elements of the rule of law is the principle of legal certainty, which provides, inter alia, that in any dispute, a court decision that has entered into force cannot be called into question. The subject of the most discussed today constitutional principle of legal certainty is today seen as a structural element of the rule of law, necessary for the stabilization of legal relations and systems in which the judiciary and courts play an important role. The principle is the main commandment of the system, its true basis; disposition, which radiates different norms, composing their spirit and serving as a criterion for their precise understanding and reason, precisely because it determines the logic and rationality of the normative system, in that it gives it a tonic and gives it a harmonious meaning. The principle is a constitutional category, and there are several that relate to the process. The purpose of this article is to highlight the need to adhere to the principle of legal certainty in various aspects of foundation and understanding that cover a modern topic, starting with the undeniable theoretical and conceptual evolution of its basis and evaluative nature, which, in a more complex and complex form, years has meant a kind of set of content and conditions that are interrelated for the regulation of life between individuals and state institutions, which is a guarantee of the stability of law. The case is relevant because of the complexity of the relations prevailing in the postmodern world, with undeniable insecurity and unpredictability today, especially in the political, social, economic and legal spheres, the reflexes of which in law are even more obvious. From the constitutional principles of equality and justice follows the requirement of certainty, clarity and unambiguity of the legal norm, as otherwise can not ensure its uniform application, does not preclude unlimited interpretation in law enforcement practice and inevitably leads to arbitrariness. Legal certainty is becoming an increasingly important and significant factor in law-making and law enforcement processes. Numerous decisions of the European Court of Human Rights against Ukraine, which have a direct indication of non-compliance by the state with this principle, allow us to qualify the commented legal idea as a fundamental and independent phenomenon. Legal certainty, as it follows from the texts and interpretations of judges, means clarity, certainty and accessibility of the legal standard.

The article's purpose is to present partial research results devoted to the issue of criminal liability for counterfeit money or its surrogate and crimes related to such imitation. Partial results refer to the issue of the limits of the statutory threat of criminal punishment in various European countries. The analysis presented made it possible to distinguish the models preferred by the legislator for determining the criminal sanction for the indicated crimes. Moreover, those variants of sanctions (taking into account the lower and upper limits of the threat) that are most often used in legislative practice were indicated. The considerations led to the formulation of de lege ferenda postulates in terms of modification of the Polish Criminal Law. The research uses theoretical and dogmatic methods of analyzing the legal text of criminal statutes and the comparative law method.
