Languages of publication
Abstracts
The article defines the term “liability” in the interbranch scope and then focuses on the issue of compensation for damage. It refers to development trends in this area of law. It deals with conditions that must be fulfilled for the rise of liability, their overlapping and with issues of indirect liability and scope of compensation for damage. Indirect liability comprises a large number of legally very different situations. From the commercial viewpoint, the liability of members of bodies of companies is very important. The new Civil Code, which significantly changes the existing situation, is analysed from this aspect. The new legislation among others lacks the general essence of this liability. The article deals also with the scope of compensation, especially for non-economic injury. The narrow definition of damage excludes the non-economic injury from its scope. This significantly complicates its whole legal regime, where compensation for non-economic injury is an exception from rule ether than a general rule. The new Civil Code does not distinguish compensation for damage “as such”. The article concludes that the new Civil Code brings some positive elements, but its provisions are very non-transparent, lacks a clear conceptual structure and will force the application practice to exacting interpretation.
