Loss of Housekeeping Capacity


Book Description

The topic is of particular interest for insurers as compensation for loss of housekeeping capacity is one of the main heads of damages awarded for personal injury. Naturally it also has considerable importance for accident victims. Yet it has received relatively little scholarly attention, at least from a comparative perspective. The aim of this study is to examine national approaches to the award of damages under the head of loss of housekeeping capacity, and to compare the levels of damages so awarded. The research will therefore address both the concepts employed in different national systems and, by means of practical case studies, the compensation actually paid in individual cases. The results of the research comprise ten country reports (Austria, England and Wales, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain and Switzerland) based on a Questionnaire (Part I: General Part and Doctrine, Part II: Concrete Assessment Examples) and a concluding Comparative Report. This project, "Loss of Housekeeping Capacity", was undertaken at the request of the Swiss Insurance Association.

Die Rechtsstellung nichtehelicher Lebensgemeinschaften


Book Description

Die Existenz nichtehelicher Lebensgemeinschaften in verschiedensten Formen in den westlichen Ländern ist ein unumstößliches Faktum. Für diese Lebensgemeinschaften bestehen eine Vielzahl von Rechtsproblemen, so insbesondere bei der Auflösung der Lebensgemeinschaft durch Trennung oder Tod und bei nichtehelichen Kindern. Wie weit sollen Regelungen greifen, insbesondere in Hinblick darauf, dass viele dieser Menschen sich bewusst gegen eine enge Rechtsbeziehung entschieden haben? Eine mögliche künftige Regelung steht daher zwischen dem Schutzbedürfnis der schwächeren Partei und der Kinder einerseits und der Privatautonomie andererseits. Der Band enthält u.a. Analysen zum rechtlichen Status nichtehelicher Gemeinschaften in zwölf Staaten und will vor dem Hintergrund der Bildung erster Strukturen eines "europäischen Familienrechts" ein Modell für Deutschland entwickeln helfen. Mit Beiträgen von:Katharina Boele-Woelki und Wendy Schrama, Nina Dethloff, Anatol Dutta, Frederique Ferrand, Cristina Gonzalez Beilfuss, Winifred H.
