The paper focuses on legal obstacles affecting freedom to conduct a business in the Slovak Republic. It points out the freedom to conduct a business with regards to the Slovak and European perspective and compares it with the legal conditions laid down for starting a business pursuant to the Slovak legal regulation. The analysis especially orientates to define general conditions for natural persons and legal persons to be met in order to start a business, but also to describe special conditions, i.e. the requirements for qualification. The paper focuses on all persons who want to conduct a business in the Slovak Republic. Since the freedom to conduct a business is not necessarily related to citizenship, the paper analyses conditions laid to aliens. The general conditions to conduct a business are: a minimum age, a full legal capacity, and integrity of natural persons or representatives of legal persons. The obstacles to conduct a business are shown through analysis related to the main legislative problems and the article is giving several proposals for more business friendly legal regulation.

<p>Rozróżnienie między relacjami prywatnymi a publicznymi wiąże się z wieloma problemami w praktyce. Charakter stosunków prawnych ma wpływ na pozycję ich uczestników oraz na możliwości ochrony ich praw. Granica pomiędzy relacjami prywatnymi a publicznymi jest wciąż słabsza. Według niektórych opinii przełamano rozróżnienie między prawem publicznym i prywatnym. W opracowaniu autor wskazał na niektóre szczególne sytuacje, w których występowały problemy z określeniem rodzaju stosunku prawnego oraz na wynikające z tego konsekwencje.

Administrative justice is a very strong element of control of public administration. Its decisions not only control but also guide the future directions in an application of particular legal norms. The author evaluates the new changes of administrative justice in the Slovak Republic. He points out the main changes in comparison with the previous legal regulation and tries to evaluate them. He points out that it is too early to evaluate the whole new legal regulation. Despite this fact, he states that it is possible to make a partial evaluation on the basis of a result and experiences acquired to this time.

The Application of Principle of Cassation in the Examination of Decisions of Administrative Authorities (Inauguration Lecture). The author summarizes his research relating to the system of remedies against administrative authorities' decisions. He points out the broad spectrum of them, including appeal, action to the court, cassation complaint, a complaint to the Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic, and complaint to the European Court of Human Rights. The author also notices on the other measures of reviewing administrative decisions. These are examining outside the appellate procedure, retrial, and supervision by the prosecution. Under the opinion of the author, the comprehensive system of remedies is not necessary the advantage. It could try to ensure better control, but on the other side it could interfere with the principle of legal certainty The author mainly points out the interferences in legal certainty. One of the reasons is that most of the remedies direct against the decisions in force. The second is that a large part of the higher instance authorities decides by the principle of cassation. These elements allow open the finished proceedings and prolong the total length of the whole procedures. According to the analysis of the particular remedies in the whole system, the author offers proposals to the future. He gives his attention to the pros and cons of principles for decision (especially to the appellate principle and principle of cassation). He points out the possibility of reducing some instances. He also states the conditions under which the current system could remain. Finally, the author points out the impact of the current system of remedies on public credibility.
