Odpowiedzialność lekarza, podmiotu leczniczego i ubezpieczyciela za nieudane transplantacje

Transplantacje komórek, tkanek i narządów należą do najbardziej kontrowersyjnych procedur medycznych, gdyż dotykają także kwestii etycznych i światopoglądowych. W ostatnich latach niewątpliwie obserwujemy rozwój transplantologii dzięki postępowi w naukach medycznych oraz zmianach w świadomości społeczeństwa. Transplantologia pozostaje jedną z bardziej ryzykownych gałęzi medycyny, ponieważ postępowanie zgodnie z zasadami sztuki lekarskiej nie jest gwarancją powodzenia przeszczepu. Artykuł przybliża problematykę nieudanych transplantacji – zarówno ze względu na zaniedbania lekarza czy placówki medycznej, jak i ze względu na reakcję obronną organizmu. W drugiej części artykułu zostały opisane zasady odpowiedzialności cywilnej lekarzy i innych pracowników podmiotów leczniczych za szkody wyrządzone pacjentom oraz wskazano czym różni się odpowiedzialność sprawcy szkody od odpowiedzialności ubezpieczyciela. Kolejna część artykułu dotyczy specyfiki odpowiedzialności ubezpieczyciela za nieudane transplantacje w oparciu o rozporządzenie Ministra Finansów w sprawie obowiązkowego ubezpieczenia odpowiedzialności cywilnej podmiotów wykonujących działalność leczniczą.

Procedural aspects concerning maritime law

Along this work we wish to highlight the main influence of Procedural Law in some as-pects in our Maritime Law. Our point of view has been supported by new Maritime Naviga-tion Act of 2014, when including the Title X ruling "Procedures Specialities in Maritime Navigation". We are focusing on the Bill of Lading as an essential document in maritime shipping from a procedural point of view. It is particulary relevant the express recognition of its enforce-able nature through the Spanish Maritime Navigation Act, giving to the bill of lading the consideration as an true extrajudicial enforceable title. We will point out the main error of the spanish regulator in the new Maritime Navigation Act, when repeating the provided posibility in the Spanish Civil Procedure Act, of a direct procedure of execution grounded on a extrajuditial enforcement such as the bill of lading. Finally, we would like to conclude the work studying the possible uses of Small Claim Procedure of the 812 article and followings of Spanish Civil Procedure Law, for the pur-pose of safeguarding credit, so as a short mention to other procedural figures expressly in-cluded in the Title IX of Maritime Navigation Law.

Civil and Criminal Liability of Players

The liability of players in their particular sporting fields has increasingly become prevalent in the minds of government, sport administrators, the medical and legal professions and the parents and players themselves. This awareness has arisen for numerous reasons. Due to the enormous volume of sport to which the community is being exposed through the varied levels of the media together with our aspirations towards a healthier lifestyle and longevity, participation in sports has increased. Accordingly, sports injury litigation has increased. A number of other factors may be advanced to explain the increase. Sport has become big business all over the world. A talent for sport may bring the lucky player fame and fortune. It is not surprising therefore, where such ambitions are frustrated by deliberately or carelessly inflicted injury to the player, thought will be given to seeking compensation for that injury in the courts of law. Other factors are that litigation is on the increase as a means of dispute resolution and lawyers see sporting organisations better able to afford compensation to their players because they are more likely to carry insurance.

Submission on NSW Attorney-General's Discussion Paper on Amendment of Limitation of Actions Act 1969 to remove time limit for civil claims for child abuse

The New South Wales Attorney-General and Justice Policy Division released a Discussion Paper about reform of the Limitation of Actions Act 1969. The key question was whether and how to amend the statute to better provide access to justice for civil claimants in child abuse cases. This submission draws on published literature and multidisciplinary research to support the Discussion Paper's Option A, namely, to abolish the time limit for civil claims for injuries in criminal child abuse cases, and for this to be made retrospective.

Child sexual abuse and access to justice for civil claims: Time to reform the Limitation of Actions Act 1974 (Qld)

In 2015, Victoria passed laws removing the time limit in which a survivor of child sexual abuse can commence a civil claim for personal injury. The law applies also to physical abuse, and to psychological injury arising from those forms of abuse. In 2016, New South Wales made almost identical legal reforms. These reforms were partly motivated by the recommendations of inquiries into institutional child abuse. Of particular relevance is that the Australian Royal Commission Into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse recommended in 2015 that all States and Territories remove their time limits for civil claims. This presentation explores the problems with standard time limits when applied to child sexual abuse cases (whether occurring within or beyond institutions), the scientific, ethical and legal justifications for lifting the time limits, and solutions for future law reform.

A responsabilidade civil do terceiro cúmplice pela lesão ao crédito alheio

Cuida-se de dissertação elaborada com o escopo de precisar os fundamentos e os critérios para a responsabilização civil do terceiro cúmplice nas lesões ao crédito alheio. O amplo desenvolvimento das relações obrigacionais no comércio jurídico exigiu do jurista o reconhecimento de situações nas quais o inadimplemento fosse ocasionado por uma conduta proveniente de um terceiro estranho à relação obrigacional. A imperiosa infiltração dos princípios constitucionais nas situações jurídicas subjetivas e a consagração normativa dos princípios da função social do contrato e da boa-fé objetiva contribuíram sobremaneira para uma revigorada análise acerca do momento patológico das obrigações, permitindo-se a admissão de atribuição de responsabilidade civil pela violação ao crédito perpetrada por um estranho alheio à relação contratual que deu origem ao referido crédito. A configuração da tutela externa do crédito perpassa pela necessidade de instituição de um dever de respeito ao crédito importo ao terceiro, cuja violação enseje sua responsabilização pelos danos ocasionados. O desiderato essencial do presente trabalho reside na identificação dos fundamentos capazes de subsidiar a existência de tal dever, bem como averiguar critérios seguros para a determinação das hipóteses nas quais se exija a observância de tal dever, cabendo ao ordenamento promover adequadamente os interesses do credor, que serão reputados merecedores de tutela em observância às circunstâncias e vicissitudes do caso concerto que apontarão para sua prevalência sobre os interesses do terceiro. Tratando-se de estudo sobre responsabilidade civil, obedece-se a um itinerário metodológico que pretende identificar os fundamentos do dever cuja violação possibilite a responsabilização do terceiro; analisar os pressupostos genéricos da responsabilidade civil em obediências às especificidades que a hipótese de tutela externa do crédito acarreta, bem como examinar critérios alusivos às circunstâncias excepcionais que regem a matéria; e revelar as consequências e os efeitos que a extensão subjetiva do dever reparatório decorrente do inadimplemento poderá repercutir na relação obrigacional.

Criminal liability of canadian corporations for international crimes

Ce mémoire porte sur la responsabilité pénale des entreprises canadiennes pour des crimes internationaux commis en partie ou entièrement à l’étranger. Dans la première partie, nous montrons que les premiers développements sur la reconnaissance de la responsabilité criminelle d’entités collectives devant les tribunaux militaires établis après la deuxième guerre mondiale n’ont pas été retenus par les tribunaux ad hoc des Nations Unies et par la Cour pénale internationale. En effet, la compétence personnelle de ces tribunaux permet uniquement de contraindre des personnes physiques pour des crimes internationaux. Dans la deuxième partie, nous offrons des exemples concrets illustrant que des entreprises canadiennes ont joué dans le passé et peuvent jouer un rôle criminel de soutien lors de guerres civiles et de conflits armés au cours desquels se commettent des crimes internationaux. Nous montrons que le droit pénal canadien permet d’attribuer une responsabilité criminelle à une organisation (compagnie ou groupe non incorporé) pour des crimes de droit commun commis au Canada, comme auteur réel ou comme complice. Nous soutenons qu’il est également possible de poursuivre des entreprises canadiennes devant les tribunaux canadiens pour des crimes internationaux commis à l’extérieur du Canada, en vertu de la Loi canadienne sur les crimes contre l’humanité et les crimes de guerre, du principe de la compétence universelle et des règles de droit commun. Bref, le Canada est doté d’instruments juridiques et judiciaires pour poursuivre des entreprises soupçonnées de crimes internationaux commis à l’étranger et peut ainsi mettre un terme à leur état indésirable d’impunité.

Precarização do trabalho e risco de acidentes na construção civil: um estudo com base na Análise Coletiva do Trabalho (ACT)

Este artigo descreve a atividade e a percepção dos trabalhadores da construção civil sobre os riscos e a carga de trabalho. O estudo, com base na Análise Coletiva de Trabalho (ACT), é parte de pesquisa em políticas públicas para aprimoramento do Sistema de Vigilância em Acidentes de Trabalho (SIVAT) de Piracicaba-SP. Priorizou-se a construção civil pela magnitude epidemiológica de ocorrência de acidentes de trabalho e a baixa eficácia das ações tradicionais de vigilância pelas características de informalidade, terceirização e rotatividade do setor. Os trabalhadores revelaram elevada percepção dos riscos de acidentes e que as medidas de segurança dificultam ou impedem a realização do trabalho. Os achados questionam a eficácia dos treinamentos para adesão às medidas de segurança e evidenciam a necessidade de uma pedagogia transformadora nas ações de promoção da saúde e prevenção dos acidentes de trabalho.
