This paper examines Adolf Reinach’s views about negative states of affairs. The author briefly presents the history of the issue from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. The views of Reinach and Roman Ingarden are compared. A special focus is ascribed to the problem of omissions in the legal sense. According to the author, a proper solution to the problem of negative states of affairs locates negation at the level of language, not in reality.

An attempt to analyze one of the necessary conditions determining the obligations to compensate for damage caused by the judiciary is made in the article. The author focuses on the wrongfulness of a court’s decisions, acts and/or omissions as a condition of such obligations. It is emphasized that the category “miscarriage of justice” is used as a generic term for the aforementioned forms of wrongful behavior under the provisions of some international instruments and the legislation of some foreign countries. Meanwhile, the author shows that the incorporation of such an approach into national legislation is inappropriate. It is concluded that the problem of extending the list of wrongful actions of judicial bodies and their officials is particularly relevant for Ukraine, considering the practice of the ECHR. Special attention is given to the case of compensation for damage caused to an individual or legal entity as a result of a court rendering an illegal decision in a civil case.

The article describes the problem of tortious liability for failure to render assistance. There are no legal systems that establish a duty to render assistance in the provisions of civil law. This stems from the fact that in most of them, the obligation to take actions derives from criminal law that imposes direct sanctions on those who do not render assistance (e.g. France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland). Nevertheless, even the tortious liability of a person who could easily and without risk rescue another but fails to do so is highly controversial from the comparative perspective. Some legal systems (mainly in common law countries) reject tortious liability in similar cases. Some authors argue that the failure to act in those cases does not cause direct damage and that the pure omission should not provide a basis for liability. There are also opinions that this issue should remain the subject of morality rather than law, and therefore a moral sanction, not a civil one, is appropriate in this respect. For that reason, the draft amendment to Austrian tort law and the Principles of European Tort Law include explicitly such a duty to act in the draft provisions. In Polish law, Article 162 of the Polish Criminal Code of 1997 governs the obligation to render assistance. According to the legal literature, the qualification of an act or omission as wrongful in criminal law prejudges that it is also unlawful in civil law. The scope of criminal liability established on the basis of Article 162 of the Polish Criminal Code covers most cases regarded in the comparative literature as potential grounds of tortious liability. The obligation to act can also potentially arise outside the scope of the situations covered by Article 162 of the Polish Criminal Code. It is possible when the omission would be contrary to the so-called rules of social coexistence (rules of morality). In such case, the potential existence of an obligation to render assistance should depend on several circumstances. Firstly, the omission of the potential rescuer must be intentional. Secondly, potential liability should be limited only to situations where the existing danger could lead to serious bodily injury or death to the person at risk. Thirdly, the cost of preventing or removing the threat on the part of the potential rescuer should be significantly lower than the importance of legal interests of the endangered person. Fourthly, the potential rescuer needs to have a real opportunity and appropriate skills to prevent or eliminate the existing threat, whether by providing help or support to the person at risk or informing those who could do so. Moreover, the obligation to render assistance may exist in situations where there is a specific relationship (even a factual one) between the parties that justifies providing aid to each other.

This article offers a close reading of personal memoirs about coming of age in Żółkiew in Eastern Galicia and about transitions on the way to immigration to Mandatory Palestine before WWII. It focuses on gaps in the fragmentary autobiographical texts written by Shimon Samet, a native of the town, who became an accomplished professional journalist in Israel, and reconstructs missing pieces of narrative about Samet’s brother and about the Zionist micro universe of transition and training sites in Galicia of the early 1920’s. It points to significant explanatory possibilities gained by identifying such gaps in personal and commemorative narratives.
PL
Niniejszy artykuł analizuje teksty pamiętnikarskie o życiu młodych Żydów w Żółkwi we wschodniej Galicji przed II wojną światową, ich dojrzewaniu oraz przemianach osobistych i politycznych, prowadzących ich do imigracji do Palestyny. Skupia uwagę przede wszystkim na lukach w często fragmentarycznych tekstach autobiograficznych napisanych przez Szymona Sameta, pochodzącego z tego miasta, który został uznanym zawodowym dziennikarzem w Izraelu. Rekonstruuje brakujące elementy rodzinnej narracji o bracie Sameta i specyfice ośrodków, w których młodzi ludzie przygotowywali się do wyjazdu na początku lat 20. XX wieku. Artykuł pokazuje, jak ważne dla interpretacji autobiografii i tekstów pamiątkowych może być wskazanie takich luk.
