The article presents the jurisdiction adjudicated by the Supreme Court (SC) in 2015, concerning professional liability of the physicians. The bulk of the cases resulted in dismissal of final appeals, lodged by the defendants, as the Supreme Court had found them patently groundless. In one of the cases the SC quashed the judgements hitherto made (that is, a decision of the Supreme Medical Court, and thereby the altered ruling of a Regional (inferior) Medical Court), and consequently terminated the proceedings, owing to limitation of punish ability of a professional offence, if the offence was committed 5 years or more ago. The case is acknowledged as a failure of the system of corporate judicature. In two subsequent cases the SC was compelled to make judgements which invoked the principle of suspending a Medical Court’s action if a parallel penal procedure was pending against the same physician, on disciplinary charges.

Corrupt behaviour is a common practice with negative effects on the whole of society. For instance, if a company wins a public procurement contract in an unfair way, it enriches itself not only at the expense of competition, but also at the expense of the whole of society, as the best applicant has not necessarily been selected within such a procurement. The same applies in the case of a supplier launching an unsafe product onto the market, threatening the health of everyone who buys it. In order to prevent such malpractice and eliminate their negative effects, the cooperation of persons aware of such behaviours is necessary. In order to ensure such cooperation, however, the existence of instruments protecting whistle-blowers against various sanctions (especially by employers) is necessary. As Slovak legislation did not include a regulation of procedures for reporting malpractice and protecting whistle-blowers, a new law aimed at solving such issues was enacted in October, 2014. The given legal regulation took effect on January 1, 2015. This paper endeavours to provide basic knowledge of the environment that the given regulation entered, as well as information on the possibilities of individuals to protect social interests on its grounds.

The law of collective proceedings for clearing off depts which replaces the former bankruptcy law pursues an economic objective the reason why it carries certain exceptions to the common procedure law. As such, the judge of collective proceedings has powers ofinitiative in the institution and conduct of the trial. He can thus of his own initiative open the collective proceeding. The aim of this study is to confront the judge's office powers with the cardinal principles of the trial. The expected result should help verify the compatibility of those powers with the requirements of a fair trial. A hypothesis emerges that automatically powers that deviate some what to the cardinal principles of the trial, are justified by the aim of safe guarding collective interests pursued by the insolvency judge.
