二、侵权法的功能(目的)㈠填补损害:事后赔偿(ex poet)⒈Homles与Mataja氏的名言⑴Homles: “Sound policy lets losser lie where they fall except where a special reason can be shown for interference. ” (The Common Law, 1881, P.50) ⑵Mataja: “No act of legislature in the world can eliminate an injury once it has occurred. The law is powerless against a completed act. The legislation can only realistically pursue two goals with respect to the risk of injuries. It can 1) initiate preventive measures; and 2) assign the burden of an injury which has occurred to the person best suited to assume it, according to the demands ofjustice and economic efficiency.”(Das Recht des schadensersatzes vomstandpunkt der Nationalökonomie, 1881, 19).⒉损害移转与损害分配⒊损害赔偿与正义(平均正义,分配正义)㈡预防制裁:事先防范(ex ante)⒈预防、制裁、惩罚⑴预防、制裁、惩罚⑵刑法与行政法规⒉中国侵权法草案应否明定“预防制裁”为侵权法的目的?⑴比较法特色⑵主要目的、次要目的⑶如何实践②解释适用㈢经济分析⒈侵权法的经济分析⒉侵权法的设计及适用⑴最适的注意义务⑵最适的活动水平⑶被害人的与有过失⑷过失责任与无过失责任⑸Cheapest cost avoider, cheapest insurer⒊经济分析方法在适用上的限制二.保险制度:市场机制——私法㈠绪说㈡第一人保险⒈意义及功能⒉种类⑴任意⑵强制㈢第三人责任险⒈意义及功能⑴对被保险人(加害人)⑵对被害人⒉种类⑴任意⑵强制⒊与侵权法的关系:分散损害⑴责任保险与无过错商品责任“The cost of an injury and the loss of time or health may be an overwhelming misfortune to the person injured, and a needless one, for the risk of injury can be insured by the manufacturer and distributed among the public as a cost of doing business”①⑵损害分配:Wer versichert ist, haftet (谁有保险,就应负责):侵权法的解释适用⒋美国七十年代责任保险危机(Liability Insurance Crisis)与侵权行为法的发展②⒌澳洲保险危机与侵权行为改革(Tort Reform,2002-2003): Mendelson,The New Law of torts, Oxford,2007)三.社会安全(Social Security): 公法规范(行政法)㈠意义及功能:社会安全与无过错补偿(No-fault Compensation):“No-fault means different to different people.”㈡社会安全(社会法)与侵权责任(侵权法)的区别⒈过错的要件①Escola v.

Please make clear whether this definition fits with the understanding of social security law and social security systems/agencies in your country.2. Is there, and can you define, a general dividing line between tort law and social security law as far as personal injuries are concerned? If so, which are the characteristics of that line?3. Are there significant differences in function between tort law and social security law in the field of personal injuries? Which ones?ⅡSocial Security Protection for Personal Injuries1.To which percentage is the population in your country protected by social security systems against consequences of personal injuries? How far does private insurance step in?2.Which groups of the populations (e.g. employees etc.), are protected, which are not? Which are the reasons for any differentiation?3.How far does the social security protection cover injuries caused by others?4.Who finances the social security protection?Ⅲ Relationship between Tort Law and Social Security Law1. Does social security law completely replace tort liability? If so, in which fields and under which conditions? Which are the reasons for any such replacement?2.In case social security replaces tort law, are there exceptions where tort law still remains applicable? If so, under which conditions and for which reasons?3.Are there significant difference between tort law and social security law as faras core elements of compensation/protection are concerned, in particular as to ·fault·causation·pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage·contributory negligence4.Are there differences in the amount of compensation normally granted by tort law or by social security law? If so, which problems result from any such differences and how are they resolved?5.Does the social security agency which grants protection to the injured person have the right of recourse against the person who caused the injury? If so, under which conditions? Even in case where tort liability of the wrongdoer is replaced (see Ⅲ.1)6.How is any recourse action dealt with when either the injured person, a member of the victim’s family or a co-employee has contributed to the damage?7.Do agreements between social security and social or private insurers exist which regulate the distribution of damages between them? Do those agreements render recourse actions superfluous? Do those agreements influence tort law? If so, in which respect?8.Which further problems are created by the interplay between tort law and social security law in your country?9.Can certain impacts (which?) either of social security law on tort law or vice versa be identified?10.Give figures (if available in your country) which show the economic dimension of tort law compensation on the one side and social security protection on the other. Figures as to the extent of recourse actions?11.Are figures available on the transaction costs which the compensation under tort law consumes as compared to those costs under social security schemes?(Transaction costs=costs for the process of compensation).12.Are there considerations(which?) for reform in your county which influence the relationship between tort law and social security law?Part 2: Case1.a)A, employed by employer X, is injured by employee B, employed by employee Y,while working on a building site. B acted with slight negligence. From whom can A claim his costs for medical treatment and compensation for pain and suffering (non-pecuniary damage)?From the social security agency where employees like A (and also B) are normally insured?From B (or his employer Y)?If the social security agency bears costs would it have a recourse action against B (or his employer Y)?b)Are the results the same when B acted with intent or gross negligence?c)Is there a difference when A and B are employed by the same employer?2. Employee A has been severely injured by cyclist B and is therefore ill for three weeks, so that he cannot work. Can A claim continued payment of wages from his employer C? In full or in part?If in part, can A sue B for the rest?If C is obliged to pay A’s wages, does C have a recourse action against B?3.Employee A IS injured through the carelessness of his employer B. Can A claim compensation for his damage from B? Or from the social security agency only? If the latter is the case, does the agency have a recourse action against employer B?4.Employee A has been negligently injured through co-employee B (employer C,a third person), but A himself has also negligently contributed to his damage. To which extent, if any, does A’s contributory negligence influence his compensation either from the social security agency or from the tortfeasor? Does A’s contributory negligence influence any recourse claim that the social security agency may have against the tortfeasor?5. Please add further cases if necessary.。
