Legal panel
The Institute for European Tort Law of the Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the University of Graz and the European Centre for Tort and Insurance Law cordially invite you to the following legal panel discussion:
Lecture: "Corporate liability as legal organisational liability"
Speaker: Carsten König
Time: 5 June 2024
Place: Seminar room of the ETL/ECTIL (Reichsratsstraße 17/2, 1010 Vienna)
According to conventional understanding, tortious corporate liability is linked to individual human behaviour. In contrast, Carsten König argues in his lecture that corporate liability should be more organisation-related. He refers this not only to liability for negligence, but also to liability for intent. The aim is to use corporate liability to also cover organisational risks that can arise, for example, from the division of labour and knowledge fragmentation. To this end, a new dogmatic model of tortious corporate liability is proposed.
The lecture is scheduled for approx. 30 minutes, followed by a discussion.
Participation is free of charge. We kindly ask you to register atetl(at)oeaw.ac.at.
Legal panel
The Institute for European Tort Law of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Graz and the European Centre of Tort and Insurance Law cordially invite you to the following Juristenrunde lecture:
Lecture: Procedural aspects of liability
Speaker: Attila Menyhárd
Time: Thursday, 23 May 2024 at 11:00
Place: Seminar Room of ETL/ECTIL (Reichsratsstraße 17/2, 1010 Vienna
Discussions on certain central issues of liability are mostly limited to substantive law aspects. Civil procedure, however, may either be a solution to certain problems like assessing probabilities, reversing burden of proof or impediments to enforcement of law, e.g. if the courts are bound to claims of parties stronger than it would be reasonable. In other aspects, like establishing compensable loss, it is unclear where the limits of competence of the expert appointed by the court lie.
The lecture is scheduled for 30 minutes, with an opportunity for discussion afterwards.
Participation is free of charge. If you would like to attend, please register via etl(at)oeaw.ac.at.
