De spørgsmål om udmåling af erstatning for personskade, der har særlig betydning for Erstatningsnævnets afgørelser, er omtalt.

In recent years, it has become increasingly common for consumers to travel abroad for cosmetic surgical and dental procedures. Consumers may be enticed to go abroad from seeing surgical packages advertised on social media, such as TikTok or Instagram, which may be cheaper than private treatment costs in the United Kingdom and may entail a stay at a luxury hotel. Unfortunately, things can and do go wrong. When consumers suffer with complications arising from their procedures or an outcome that they are dissatisfied with, it may be the case that there has been causative negligence by the foreign surgeon and/or clinic such that proceedings are contemplated.However, cross-border clinical negligence claims can be challenging to handle and bring with them a number of issues. Unlike a standard clinical negligence claim, practitioners often face additional complexities, such as whether England and Wales is the appropriate forum to hear the claim, as well as questions as to what the applicable law of the claim is.This book provides practical guidance to practitioners handling cross-border clinical negligence claims, covering issues including jurisdiction and applicable law, deaths abroad and inquests, applicable standards, expert evidence, and different types of claim.ABOUT THE AUTHORDominique Smith is a barrister at Deka Chambers, specialising in travel law, inquests, clinical negligence, and personal injury.

In this book, Jake Rowley will provide a concise and practical consideration of the law and practice relating to 'low velocity impact' (or "LVI") road traffic accidents. Amongst other topics, the book will consider what is meant by the term 'LVI'; the tell-tale signs of a potential LVI claim; the key authorities setting out the the law in this area; the procedural steps which Defendants will likely need to take in order to advance allegations of LVI; the sorts of evidence which features in such claims and when, and how, it should be obtained and deployed; and how such cases are approached by Judges at trial.The book is written with Claimant and Defendant practitioners, and insurers, in mind.ABOUT THE AUTHORJake Rowley is a barrister at Farrar's Building specialising in high value and complex personal injury litigation. He has extensive experience of proceedings arising out of road traffic accidents and claims involving allegations of LVI.He is well versed in the applicable legal principles relating to LVI cases as well as the varying forms of evidence regularly encountered in such claims including forensic engineering evidence dealing with damage consistency and/or occupancy displacement; expert medical evidence; insurer's CUE database searches; and social media evidence.

Die Durchsetzung von Ersatzanspruchen gegenuber Vorstanden, Aufsichtsraten und Geschaftsfuhrern begegnet vielfaltigen Problemen. Sie entstehen, wenn die Gesellschafter den Organmitgliedern zunachst vorbehaltlos "e;Entlastung"e; erteilen und erst im Nachhinein von Verfehlungen erfahren. Die Arbeit geht der Frage nach, in welchen Fallen die Entlastung zum Verlust von Ersatzanspruchen fuhrt und die Haftung der Organmitglieder ausschliet.

in recent years, there has been a growing interest in the legal aspects of mass torts in Europe. Both academics, legislatures, courts and policymakers throughout the whole of Europe have been struggling with the challenges that such massification' of private law relationships poses both in and outside of tort law. The subject moves between the law of civil procedure, substantive tort law, access to justice debates and regulatory frameworks for mass disputes. This volume offers both a caleidoscopic review of real-life key cases of mass tort and an in-depth reflection on the broader implications of mass tort in Europe. Thus, the challenges posed by mass torts are explored, mapped and analysed.

Economic torts play a key role in the development of private law more generally. Indeed, the landmark case of OBG v Allan (2008) provided one of the most important decisions in the whole of the law of torts in the last generation, as the House of Lords sought to bring order to an area of the law that has long been beset by doctrinal and theoretical puzzles. Probably the most enduring question of all in this area is whether the economic torts can be unified. This book argues that the search for unity is a will o' the wisp. More particularly, it shows that although some juridical connections exist between some of these torts, there is far more that separates them than unites them. Offering a unique perspective, this is a landmark publication on the law of economic torts.

This book proposes three liability regimes to combat the wide responsibility gaps caused by AI systems - vicarious liability for autonomous software agents (actants); enterprise liability for inseparable human-AI interactions (hybrids); and collective fund liability for interconnected AI systems (crowds).Based on information technology studies, the book first develops a threefold typology that distinguishes individual, hybrid and collective machine behaviour. A subsequent social science analysis specifies the socio-digital institutions related to this threefold typology. Then it determines the social risks that emerge when algorithms operate within these institutions. Actants raise the risk of digital autonomy, hybrids the risk of double contingency in human-algorithm encounters, crowds the risk of opaque interconnections. The book demonstrates that the law needs to respond to these specific risks, by recognising personified algorithms as vicarious agents, human-machine associations as collective enterprises, and interconnected systems as risk pools - and by developing corresponding liability rules.The book relies on a unique combination of information technology studies, sociological institution and risk analysis, and comparative law. This approach uncovers recursive relations between types of machine behaviour, emergent socio-digital institutions, their concomitant risks, legal conditions of liability rules, and ascription of legal status to the algorithms involved.

This book explores contemporary issues in respect of causes of action which operate to protect a plaintiff's economic interests.It examines the question from across the spectrum of private law. Focusing mainly on common law principles, it looks in particular at the treatment of such causes of action in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Singapore as well as other common law jurisdictions. Addressing both theoretical and doctrinal issues, this important book will appeal to both private law scholars and practitioners.

This text considers the social, legal and technological features of unauthorised dissemination of intimate images. With a focus on private law theory, the book defines the appropriate scope of liability of platforms and viewers. Through its analysis, it develops a new theory of egalitarian digital privacy. Should digital platforms be responsible for intimate images posted without the subject's consent? Could the viewers of such images be liable simply for viewing them? This book answers these questions in the affirmative, while considering the social, legal and technological features of unauthorized dissemination of intimate images, or `revenge porn'. In doing so, it asks fundamental socio-legal questions about responsibility, causation and apportionment, as well as conceptualizing private information as property. With a focus on private law theory, the book defines the appropriate scope of liability of platforms and viewers while critiquing both EU and US solutions to the problem. Through its analysis, the book develops a new theory of egalitarian digital privacy.

You only have control over three things in your life-the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take.-Jack CanfieldIn the aftermath of unthinkable loss or catastrophic injury caused by the negligence of others, shock, uncertainty, and anger set in. You can't change what happened, but you can control your next steps with a plan-one that will help your family tackle the challenges ahead and ease the overwhelming burden. Few understand this more than nationally recognized lawyer Kyle Bachus. With more than twenty-five years of experience representing families in catastrophic injury and death cases, Kyle gained first-hand knowledge of his clients' experiences when his own mother was struck and killed in a crosswalk. Now, in Unthinkable, Kyle provides a practical roadmap for navigating a path that no one chooses. He takes you through the process in chronological order, from what to expect in the police investigation to your rights as a victim and claiming victim's compensation. You'll gain the tools you need to handle numerous issues and unforeseen questions in the aftermath of tragedy, including insight into your options for holding those at fault accountable through the civil justice system. An invaluable asset for anyone struggling with next steps (or knows someone who is), Unthinkable is the guidance you need to control what you can, gain peace of mind, and focus on what truly counts.

Initiated by the European Commission, the first study published in this volume analyses the largely unresolved question as to how damage caused by artificial intelligence (AI) systems is allocated by the rules of tortious liability currently in force in the Member States of the European Union and in the United States, to examine whether - and if so, to what extent - national tort law regimes differ in that respect, and to identify possible gaps in the protection of injured parties. The second study offers guiding principles for safety and liability with regard to software, testing how the existing acquis needs to be adjusted in order to adequately cope with the risks posed by software and AI. The annex contains the final report of the New Technologies Formation of the Expert Group on Liability and New Technologies, assessing the extent to which existing liability schemes are adapted to the emerging market realities following the development of new digital technologies.

Kaspar Krolop untersucht Covenants bei unbesicherten Darlehen, Genussrechten und weiteren Formen hybriden Kapitals. Diese unter dem Begriff "Risikokapital auf schuldrechtlicher Grundlage" zusammengefassten Vertragsgestaltungen sind ein Anwendungsbeispiel für transnationales Private Ordering durch komplexe Verträge mit Organisationselementen. Ein Fokus der Arbeit liegt auf der rechtlichen Einordnung dieses Phänomens mit Folgerungen für die Abgrenzung von Vertrag und Verband unter Berücksichtigung der Implikationen für die Corporate Governance der zu finanzierenden Gesellschaft. Dabei spannt er den Bogen von vertragsrechtlichen Grundlagen und Erkenntnissen der Institutionenökonomik über gesellschafts-, kollisions- und europarechtliche Fragen bei der Verzahnung von deutschem Verbandsrecht mit ausländischem Recht unterliegenden Verträgen bis hin zu den konkreten Haftungsfragen im Vertrags-, Gesellschafts- und Insolvenzrecht. Der Autor entwickelt dabei ein international und interdisziplinär anschlussfähiges Einordnungsraster für schuldrechtliche Verträge mit Organisationselementen im Grenzbereich zwischen Austauschvertrag und Verband. Darüber hinaus bietet die Arbeit der Kautelarpraxis Orientierung im Hinblick auf die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Gestaltungsfreiheit bei Finanzierungsinstrumenten auf schuldrechtlicher Grundlage sowie mit diesen einhergehenden Haftungsrisiken.

Es gehört zu den Charakteristika einer arbeitsteiligen Wirtschaftsordnung, dass Leistungen im Rahmen von Vertragsketten erbracht werden. Beispiele sind Absatzketten im Handel oder die Einschaltung von Subunternehmern durch einen Generalunternehmer. Verletzt in diesen Fällen ein Kettenglied eine Vertragspflicht, so tritt ein Schaden nicht selten erst bei einem entfernten Kettenglied ein. Die Praxis hat eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Lösungsansätze entwickelt. Vertraglicher und deliktischer Direktanspruch, Regresskette und Drittschadensliquidation sind die wichtigsten. Florian Bien unternimmt eine kohärente Zusammenschau der Probleme und stellt sie auf eine neue dogmatische Grundlage. Er versetzt die Glieder einer arbeitsteiligen Pflichtenkette so weit wie möglich in die Lage, Vertragsrisiken privatautonom zuzuweisen.

The widespread understanding of auction structure considers auction as consisting of three contracts: contract between the seller and the auctioneer, contract between the auctioneer and the buyer and the sale contract between the seller and the buyer. The book challenges this concept, arguing that the traditional tripartite concept of auction is too narrow and does not correspond to the actual structure of auction relations.Demonstrating that an auction structure consists of a plethora of legal relationships, including noncontractual relations, this book explores the legal concept of auction sale and the structure of accompanying relations. The book provides a historical overview of auctions and different auction models. Following a brief introduction to the economic theory, auction models are examined against the following legal criteria: price formation, publicity, parties' autonomy, legal form and applied technology to find a legal concept and nature of auction. The book explores the legal position of key auction figures and auction objects to identify the categories of legal relations that appear at auction. It explores the legal nature of the main contract, as well as the relations between the consignor and the auctioneer, the auctioneer and the bidders, the bidders themselves, the consignor and the bidders. The book covers relations arising from droit de suite, financial and bidding agreements to provide a comprehensive overview of lesserknown legal relations that commonly arise in auction practice.
