What can be imputed to juristic persons on the grounds of no-fault liability

Publication at Faculty of Law |
2018

Abstract

The chapter dealing with the aspects of no-fault liability of juristic persons, or more specifically the imputability of harmful consequences to juristic persons, examines several issues. Is liability of juristic persons truly identical to liability of natural persons? Who is to benefit from the existence of grounds for exoneration? How can juristic persons prove that they exercised all the care that can be reasonably required? How are harmful consequences caused by operation imputed to juristic persons? What are the limits of no-fault liability? Finally, the relevant approaches need to be demonstrated with reference to specific wrongs of juristic persons as described in the Civil Code.

This chapter also deals with the question of differences between contractual liability (ex contractu) and non-contractual liability (ex delicto).
