Abstract
The submitted rigorosum thesis contains an analysis of so-called collateral proceedings in accordance with the legal regulation in force as specified in Act No. 141/1961 Sb., Criminal Procedure Code. Collateral proceedings represent the part of criminal proceedings in which the court adjudicates the claims of an injured person concerning damages, compensation of other than proprietary loss and recovery of property obtained as a result of unjust enrichment that arose in connection with a criminal offence.
The importance of collateral proceedings consists in the fact that by using it the injured person may avoid time-consuming, and financially as well as procedurally demanding civil proceedings.
