Download or read book Economic Analysis of Prescription in Tort Law written by Israel Gilead and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter highlights the complexity of economic analysis which examines whether, when and to what extent prescription law contributes to the efficiency of tort law or reduces it. It is complex because the of the many relevant aspects of efficiency: deterrence, loss spreading, litigation costs, costs of preserving evidence and financial reserves, clarity of financial situation and uncertainty aversion. It is further complicated by the cross-effects between these various aspects. The analysis leads to the following conclusions. As to the length of the general prescription period, there are good reasons to believe that relatively short prescription periods are efficient. As to rules of suspension, postponement of expiry and renewal of the pre-scription period, it appears that the overall efficiency of each rule depends on the degree of uncertainty that it generates, and on the number, size and the quality of the actions which it “saves” or is expected to save from prescription.The efficiency of the “long-stop” (ceiling) period, seems also to depend on the number, the size and the quality of claims that such a long-stop period pre-scribes or is expected to prescribe. It is further argued that the common intuition which tells us that prescription law is “bad” for plaintiffs is misleading. Potential and actual plaintiffs may well benefit from time limits that improve deterrence and loss spreading, increase their chances of winning and lowering the costs they incur.

Download or read book Tort Law in France written by Jonas Knetsch and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides ready access to how the legal dimension of prevention against harm and loss allocation is treated in France. This traditional branch of law not only tackles questions which concern every lawyer, whatever his legal expertise, but also concerns each person’s most fundamental rights on a worldwide scale. Following a general introduction that probes the distinction between tort and crime and the relationship between tort and contract, the monograph describes how the concepts of fault and unlawfulness, and of duty of care and negligence, are dealt with in both the legislature and the courts. The book then proceeds to cover specific cases of liability, such as professional liability, liability of public bodies, abuse of rights, injury to reputation and privacy, vicarious liability, liability of parents and teachers, liability for handicapped persons, product liability, environmental liability, and liability connected with road and traffic accidents. Principles of causation, grounds of justification, limitations on recovery, assessment of damages and compensation, and the role of private insurance and social security are all closely considered. The work gives an extensive picture of the current state of law and a first indication on the future French tort law, based on the last Government proposal for a comprehensive reform of the civil liability rules. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for lawyers in France. Academics and researchers will also welcome this very useful guide, and will appreciate its value not only as a contribution to comparative law but also as a stimulus to harmonization of the rules on tort.

Download or read book Comparative Foundations of a European Law of Set Off and Prescription written by Reinhard Zimmermann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-06-27 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of a European private law is one of the great issues on the legal agenda of our time. Among the most prominent initiatives furthering this process is the work of the Commission on European Contract Law. The essays collected in this 2002 volume have their origin within this context. They explore two practically very important topics which had hitherto been largely neglected in comparative legal literature: set-off and 'extinctive' prescription (or limitation of actions). Professor Zimmermann lays the comparative foundations for a common approach which may provide the basis for a set of European principles. At the same time, the essays provide practical examples of the arguments that can be employed in the process of harmonising European private law on a rational basis. They explore topics such as the comparative experiences in the various modern legal systems and the direction in which the international development is heading.

Download or read book Mass Torts in a World of Settlement written by Richard A. Nagareda and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional definition of torts involves bizarre, idiosyncratic events where a single plaintiff with a physical impairment sues the specific defendant he believes to have wrongfully caused that malady. Yet public attention has focused increasingly on mass personal-injury lawsuits over asbestos, cigarettes, guns, the diet drug fen-phen, breast implants, and, most recently, Vioxx. Richard A. Nagareda’s Mass Torts in a World of Settlement is the first attempt to analyze the lawyer’s role in this world of high-stakes, multibillion-dollar litigation. These mass settlements, Nagareda argues, have transformed the legal system so acutely that rival teams of lawyers operate as sophisticated governing powers rather than litigators. His controversial solution is the replacement of the existing tort system with a private administrative framework to address both current and future claims. This book is a must-read for concerned citizens, policymakers, lawyers, investors, and executives grappling with the changing face of mass torts.

Download or read book The Failure of Louisiana s Bifurcated Liberative Prescription Regime written by Benjamin West Janke and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louisiana's system of liberative prescription has become too complicated, causing errors and surprises for litigants who cannot determine with any certainty the prescriptive period applicable to them. While certain privileged classes of litigants benefit from special legislation, others fall outside into either the general one-year period for tort claims or ten-year period for personal actions. The large gap in prescription for actions on torts and actions on contracts is problematic in itself, as Louisiana stands alone from most jurisdictions where there is a much narrower gap in duration (if at all) between the two categories. The inconsistent standards of tort and contract classifications and the increasingly blurry line distinguishing the two regimes have only exacerbated the inequity. The design of the bifurcated prescription regime has failed its intended purpose: creating social order by instilling certainty in creditor and debtor rights while simultaneously punishing the negligent creditor. A number of codes offer model approaches that might better serve the goals of liberative prescription in Louisiana. Ultimately, liberative prescription so greatly affects substantive rights that the legislature must review and reform the current prescriptive regime, taking into consideration all of the inconsistencies and inequities of the current system. Of all the approaches developed by other jurisdictions, the most satisfying solution is unifying the prescriptive period for actions on contract and on tort. In so doing, the law will offer greater certainty in rights.
