After Labor Code entered into force in 2003, it marked a new stage of development of labor relations, which had an impact on certain changes for the legal institute of full material liability. After nearly 10 years since the Code entered into force, it is interesting to look at how full material liability is established and functioning in contemporary labor relations. To analyze effectiveness and role of the legal institute of full material liability, comparative, logical, systemical, historical and analytical methods are used where necessary. In order to archieve the goal set for this master thesis and fulfill the tasks that help to archieve it, master thesis is divided into three main parts. The first part deals with the general issues of legal liability, legal sources and concept of material liability that directly affect the legal institute of full material liability. In the second part laws and other regulations that affect full material liability of employees are reviewed. The third part deals with the cases and research done by the Supreme Court of Lithuania that are related to the object of the master thesis. In the end it is concluded that the legal institute of full material liability that exist in Lithuania is a result of high-quality legislation, which on one hand, is working effectively but on the other – is not popular in terms of its use. It is also concluded that there is a good working relationship between the Lithuanian courts, legal doctrine and law enforcement because there are not many legal conflicts or legal gaps. Finally it is stated that the full material liability of executives of entities in Lithuania is not fully tuned, a bit confounding and harder to apply in general, so instead the unification of current regulatory status is proposed. |
