Abstract:
IN AMT Futures Ltd. v Marzillier [2017] UKSC 13; [2017] 2 W.L.R. 853, the Supreme Court had to decide where a “harmful event” occurred in order to determine whether the English court had jurisdiction over the defendant, Marzillier, a German lawyer. AMT brought an action in England against Marzillier for inducing breaches of contracts made between AMT and their European clients. Although the client contracts contained an exclusive jurisdiction clause in favour of the English courts, Marzillier had encouraged the clients to bring actions against AMT in Germany. The claims were made under German law of delict alleging that AMT were accessory to the bad investment advice given by the clients’ brokers. The brokers were insolvent. The German claims were brought directly against AMT and AMT settled. It had lost on the jurisdiction question in Germany because the exclusive jurisdiction clause did not bind the clients. They were consumers. Additionally, the actions were in tort and therefore did not fall within the scope of the clause. AMT brought this action in England after paying over £2m in settlement and costs in Germany. AMT argued that Marzillier had deprived AMT of the benefit of the contractual exclusive jurisdiction agreement by inducing the clients to sue in Germany. Marzillier, a defendant domiciled in Germany, could only be sued in England if the harmful event occurred here. Lord Hodge J.S.C., giving a beautifully clear judgment, held that the case could not be heard in England. England was not the place where the harm occurred, despite payment out of an account in England and the alleged breach of the exclusive English jurisdiction agreement. He held that Germany was the place where the harm occurred under what is now Article 7(2) (ex Article 5(3)) of the Brussels I Regulation Recast (Regulation EC No 1215/2012).

Abstract:
AbstractEven throughout a global pandemic, climate change continues to be a fiercely discussed topic—both politically and legally—the world over. Particularly in light of the many Covid-19 related financial aid programs (including transnational ones) and the associated economic stabilization and reconstruction plans, a sustainable climate policy and legal order should be expected to play a role for an economy that has fallen into a slump. Nevertheless, a lively discussion on how best to achieve climate protection continues to take place in already established systems such as the private law system. Here, as far as climate change is concerned, tort law appears to be the focus of these discussions. The extent to which tort law and the issue of climate change can be brought together is also increasingly being discussed in Germany. This article attempts to shed light on the questions of how tort law could contribute to the mitigation of climate change and how climate change could fit into the law of torts of the German civil law legal system.

Abstract:
Recent case law in the UK courts has established the possibility for the parent companies of multinational corporations (MNCs) to hold liability in tort negligence for harms caused by their foreign-based subsidiaries. The UK’s approach – a general duty of care for cross-border torts – is noteworthy in that it has developed organically through the common law despite conflicting with established principles of company law. By comparison, European neighbours such as France, Switzerland and Germany have developed statutory regulatory regimes which utilize due diligence obligations that appear more reflective of recent international accountability standards, such as the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) of the late John Ruggie. This work serves as an in-depth investigation for scholars of tort law, company law, private international law and human rights, who are interested in understanding this rapidly developing area of practice from an English perspective. This work is offered in two parts. This first part contextualizes the current law within contemporary academic discourse and offers a historically informed explanation for the conceptual underpinnings of the unique approach currently taken within English jurisprudence and their coherence with the broader principles of domestic UK company law. The second part offers an analysis of UK law as it stands including the caselaw that builds the corpus of parent company liability in England and Wales. It analyses how effective the current liabilities identified by the Courts are in securing fair remedy for corporate misfeasance. It identifies and categorizes its key features and contrasts them with comparative elements of statutory due diligence approaches adopted by France and Germany or pursued as in the case of Switzerland. It will finally consider whether they offer any concepts worthy of consideration for the regulation of parent company liabilities in future.

Abstract:
While jurisprudence in the United States has been cast in the general mode of the English common law, modifications over time have produced enough significant variations that American law has a distinctive quality. To illustrate: The exclusionary rule in criminal cases prohibiting the use of evidence (even from reliable witnesses) acquired through illegal search, is not followed in Britain—or, for that matter, in Canada, Germany, and Israel. The punitive-damage concept (PD) in tort law is also a jurisprudential novelty. Punitive damages are imposed in addition to compensatory awards given to tort victims to warn manufacturers and sellers to be careful in their safety and marketing practices. PDs are society's warning signals: Seller beware! Because they are one of society's ways to protect itself, PDs have recently been considered as fines which, to prevent excesses, should be under the rubric of the Eighth Amendment.This essay introduces new elements into the discussion on torts by hypothesizing (1) PDs are fines which belong to the public purse; (2) that expenditures from the public purse should be given to local organizations (like orphanages and inner-city hospitals) which provide vital services for those unable to pay; and (3) that the victim (or the victim's survivor) has a right to designate what local organizations should benefit from his or her punitive-damage awards.The hypotheses require reexamination of the concepts of citizenship, community, and work, respectively.Tort law is an integral part of the American law of injuries, a body of judicial doctrine and legislation and a set of legal arrangements that also include compensation systems and safety legislation. It would have been unthinkable as recently as twenty-five years ago that the tort system would become a source of bitter contention. Today, however, it generates sharp rhetoric and dramatic proposals for change to address its contested problems, as well as strong views in favor of continuing the system essentially intact so as not to disturb its contended benefits.

The UK’s approach – a general duty of care for cross-border torts – is noteworthy in that it has developed organically through the common law. One possible tension this duty raises, may be with established principles of company law, affirmed at common law. By comparison, European neighbours such as France, Switzerland and Germany, have addressed the same issue of corporate accountability by developing statutory regulatory regimes which utilize due diligence obligations reflective of the recent trend toward international accountability standards, such as the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) of the late John Ruggie. This work serves as an in-depth investigation for scholars of tort law, company law, private international law, and human rights, who are interested in understanding this rapidly developing area of practice from an English perspective. This work is offered in two parts. This second part offers an overview of UK statutory and case law as it may relate to parent company liability. A critical analysis of recent case law, seeks to understand the characteristics of parent company liability, as developed by the Courts in securing fair remedy for corporate misfeasance. With reference to comparative regimes observed in the aforementioned neighbouring European countries, this work further considers what limitations the current law has, and what benefits could be realized through the introduction of reporting requirements.

Abstract:
This paper explores the implications for English law of the decision of the European Court of Justice in joined cases C-46/93 Brasserie du Pêcheur v Germany and C-48/93 R v Secretary of State for Transport, ex p Factortame (No 4) and subsequent decisions developing the principles enunciated therein. More specifically, it examines how the English law of torts is to accommodate the European law obligation to compensate, in appropriate circumstances, individuals suffering a loss as a result of a breach by the state of Community law. In confronting this question English law is engaged in the unfamiliar exercise of attempting to match a remedy to an already recognised right: the history of the common law, and the law of torts in particular, is of defining rights in the light of the existing remedies under which they could be asserted.

Abstract:
The law on civil liability and civil procedure in force in Germany are in general designed to deal with the compensation of individual harm, and may not deal so adequately with mass torts. Because of this in many areas a corresponding reform of or addition to the legal rules is required. The law on civil liability is primarily called upon to provide the basis for an appropriate compensation for damage. A failure to satisfy this function should not therefore be accepted. Nor is this fundamental mission affected by the fact that the compensation for damage, which is determined by the rules of civil liability, in many areas intersects with systems for collective insurance and collecting measures for dealing with damage, such as for example liability, sickness and social insurance; for even in these cases as soon as one deals with the subrogated claim against the defendant, reference is made to the normal rules of civil liability, so that these must contain rules appropriate to mass torts.

Abstract:
SummaryIn its recent decision in Jurisdictional Immunities of the State (Germany v Italy: Greece Intervening), the International Court of Justice (ICJ) held that Italy had failed to respect immunities enjoyed by Germany under international law when the Italian courts allowed civil actions to be brought against Germany for alleged violations of international human rights law (IHRL) and the law of armed conflict (LOAC) committed during the Second World War. This article evaluates the three arguments raised by Italy to justify its denial of immunity: first, that peremptory norms of international law prevail over international rules on jurisdictional immunities; second, that customary international law recognizes an exception to immunity for serious violations of IHRL or the LOAC; and third, that customary international law recognizes an exception to immunity for torts committed by foreign armed forces on the territory of the forum state in the course of an armed conflict. The author concludes that the ICJ was correct to find that none of these arguments deprived Germany of its right under international law to immunity from the civil jurisdiction of the Italian courts.

Abstract:
The paper deals with recent rulings of the European Court of Justice regarding the international jurisdiction of European courts in connection with infringements over the Internet. The aim of the paper is to illustrate a shift in the judicature of the Court and the need for a recast of the special jurisdiction provisions in the Brussels I Regulation.The main focal point is the ruling in the case C-170/12 Peter Pinckney v KDG Mediatech AG, which contains two surprising conclusions. Firstly, the intentions of the alleged infringer to target a certain jurisdiction are not to be taken into consideration. The decisive connecting factor is solely the fact that the harmful event may occur within the jurisdiction of the court. Secondly, the actions of anindependent third party can now establish the jurisdiction for a suit against the alleged infringer. This has been the subject of two other recent cases C-387/12 Hi Hotel HCF Sparl v Uwe Spoering and C-360/12 Coty Germany GmbH v First Note Perfumes NV. In both of these cases the sole actions of the alleged infringer would not suffice to establish the jurisdiction of the court in question. The paper tries to evaluate these rulings in light of procedural fairness and the traditional interpretation od special jurisdiction provisions.

Abstract:
Autonomously driving delivery robots are developed all around the world, and the first prototypes are tested already in last-mile deliveries of packages. Estonia plays a leading role in this field with its, start-up Starship Technologies, which operates not only in Estonia but also in foreign countries like Germany, Great Britain, and the United States of America (USA), where it seems to provide a promising solution of the last-mile problem. But the more and more frequent appearance of delivery robots in public traffic reveals shortcomings in the regulatory framework of the usage of these autonomous vehicles—despite the maturity of the underlying technology. The related regulatory questions are reaching from data protection over liability for torts performance to such mundane fields as traffic law, which a logistic service provider has to take into account. This paper analyses and further develops the regulatory framework of autonomous delivery robots for packages by highlighting legal implications. Since delivery robots can be understood as cyber-physical systems in the context of Industry 4.0, the research contributes to the related regulatory framework of Industry 4.0 in international terms. Finally, the paper discusses future perspectives and proposes specific modes of compliance.

Abstract:
Where individuals standing outside of the corporation have been harmed by the acts of one of its directors or officers, the question becomes whether they have only a claim against the corporation or whether they may have also a personal claim against the executive inflicting the harm on them.
The issue of how far it should be possible to hold directors and officers personally liable for tort has been a contested one and even courts within one and the same jurisdiction provide different solutions. On the one hand, there is the general basic principle that individuals causing harm to others should be held responsible. On the other hand, the fact that directors and officers act as agents on behalf of the corporation might call for an exception to this basic tort law principle.
This thesis will compare the solutions proposed by Common law (with focus on the law of Ontario) and German law as an example of a Civil law jurisdiction. An attempt will be made to see in how far the proposed solutions are consistent with legal principles like the separate legal entity of the corporation and the concept of limited liability as well as with arguments related to economic efficiency.

Abstract:
L’importance croissante des fonds d’indemnisation, en droit français et dans les droits étrangers, invite à une étude approfondie de ces instruments alternatifs de compensation de dommages. Une analyse de leur champ d’application et de leur fonctionnement ainsi qu’une identification des objectifs de politique juridique font apparaître deux catégories de dispositifs : d’un côté, les fonds rétrospectifs chargés de gérer les conséquences d’un fait dommageable de grande ampleur survenu dans le passé et ayant fait l’objet d’une médiatisation importante ; de l’autre, les fonds prospectifs destinés à faciliter l’indemnisation de dommages isolés et à pallier des lacunes de la responsabilité civile ou administrative. Malgré des points de convergence, les fonds d’indemnisation se démarquent d’autres techniques d’indemnisation, telles que la Sécurité sociale et les assurances privées. Pour comprendre les raisons qui amènent le législateur à réserver un tel traitement particulier à certaines catégories de dommages, la notion d’indemnisation sociale, développée par la doctrine allemande, servira de point de départ pour construire un modèle explicatif qui appréhende notamment la diversité des régimes relevant d’un fonds d’indemnisation. Une comparaison de la procédure d’indemnisation devant un fonds et d’une action en responsabilité révèle un besoin d’ajustement de la réglementation des fonds pour exploiter au mieux les potentialités de ces instruments, aussi bien sur le terrain de la compensation que sur celui de la prévention des dommages. Une simplification des rapports entre les nombreux fonds et une meilleure articulation avec la responsabilité civile s’imposent pour assurer une intégration cohérente de ces régimes spéciaux dans le droit existant
The increasing importance of compensation funds in French law and in other legal systems calls for a research study on this topic. The analysis of the scope and legal technique as well as the identification of the political aims behind those alternative compensation schemes reveals two categories: on the one hand, retrospective compensation schemes are introduced to manage the consequences of mass damages; on the other hand, the establishment of prospective funds remedies the gaps in tort law to facilitate the compensation of certain types of individual damages. In spite of similarities with Social security and private insurance, compensation funds form a unique compensation technique and can be held as the key element of social compensation, a concept which has been developed by German scholars and can explain the shifts between private and public compensation schemes as well as the diversity of fund regulations. However, a comparative approach of compensation under a fund regulation and a tort law action before the courts reveals a need for legislative adjustments in order to develop the full potential of alternative compensation schemes. A simplification of conflicts between different compensation funds and a better coordination with tort law actions have to be achieved to insure a coherent integration into the existing legal system

Abstract:
- Legal responsibilty Pavel Pražák The purpose of my thesis is to analyze the institute of legal responsibility that is very often used in the Czech doctrine and in legal acts. The reason for my research is to clarify the clear content of this term. The thesis is composed of two parts, each of them using a different method. Part One is deductive. It is divided into eight chapters. Chapter One is introductory and defines the term "responsibility" according to the common Czech language and clears the terminology used in the thesis. Chapter Two examines mechanisms of Roman law similar to the contemporary legal responsibility. It deals primarily with the institutes of "nexum" and "stipulatio". Chapter Three concentrates on the function and role of legal responsibility in law. It defines its most universal function as well as its concrete roles. Chapter Four is subdivided into four subchapters and provides an outline of relevant Czech doctrinal concepts of legal responsibility, such as the concept of active responsibility or the sanction doctrine. It also deals with the classification of the concepts provided by Josef Macur in the 80's. Chapter Five describes the German doctrine in the field of legal responsibility. It clears the German terminology, deals with the doctrine of "Schuld und Haftung" and...

Abstract:
In German law, liability for damage due to product defects relies on three concepts: traditional contractual liability, traditional tort liability, and objective liability for damage. The paper discusses tortious liability for damage from product defects according to the provisions of the German Civil Code. Namely, by implementing the provisions of Directive 85/374 / EEC into the German legal order, the provisions of the German Civil Code have not been suppressed, but there is a possibility for the injured party to choose the basis of the claim, based on tortious liability, or objective liability for damage. Contractual liability for product defects plays a small role for injured parties in German law. In order to solve the problems that have arisen as a result of the inadequacy of contractual liability, German courts have decided to improve the position of consumers through tortious liability for damage from defective products. Tort liability for damage has become a convenient mechanism for resolving certain problems that have arisen in relation to this liability. Among others, the answer was given to the question of whether inaction, ie omission, can lead to a tort. More importantly, the circle of persons potentially responsible for the damage was concretized.
