Commorientes:Deaths, disasters, disappearances
No full textThis chapter discusses commorientes - parties who, in some sense, die together - and the problems generated by a need to identify a sequence for such deaths in circumstances where that sequence is not possible to prove. By reference principally to English, French and German law, it looks at the scope of the factual uncertainty problem here in terms of both the variable circumstances in which it can arise and the variable and blurred levels of uncertainty that these entail. The chapter also reviews the range of solutions and rules used across time and place to identify or impose a sequence or other result, including retreating to ordinary proof, presumptive sequencing, and rules for sharing or reallocation. Throughout, the analysis considers the policies and imperatives that drive framings of the problem and choices made in crafting a solution. It finds overall that the uncertainty problem entailed has limited clear natural boundaries, and that its scope can be driven by policy goals and one's preferred solution. Relatedly, over time, framings of the problem have tended to broaden out to include more scenarios, whilst solutions have narrowed in on simpler default answers justified by policy goals, rather than attempts to approximate truth

Known Unknowns:Tracing a Map
No full textThis chapter combines the insights of the volume’s various analyses to develop an overarching picture of the problem of intractable factual uncertainty and the approaches that legal systems have taken to it. This problem is persistent and endemic across legal systems and engages their fundamental elements and principles. The analysis is therefore vital in combatting inconsistency and incoherence in our legal frameworks, and in guiding interactions with new or recurrent instances of the difficulty, which can otherwise appear insurmountable and profoundly affect litigation outcomes and the operation of the justice system. The chapter thus considers themes emerging across the diverse areas of legal material considered, understood against the methodological and substantive background outlined in chapter one. Conclusions and insights are developed in three core parts: an overview picture of uncertainty’s features, how it presents, and how it is understood and confronted; the identification of themes and points of engagement demonstrating the wider contextual factors that characterise, define, and restrain the operation of uncertainty and mould our confrontations with it; and the development of a summary toolkit to help analyse, and guide approaches to, intractable factual uncertainty
Known Unknowns:Uncharted Waters
No full textThis chapter introduces the aims, scope, approach, and conceptual background to the volume. It sets out the concept of ‘intractable factual uncertainty’, distinguishing this from legal uncertainty, subjective ignorance, lack of evidence, and ex ante uncertainty. The chapter then introduces the legal tools that we might ordinarily expect to deal with uncertainty, including evidential rules, presumptions and fictions, and decision-making rules, demonstrating that these fail to address the problem fully, and that analyses of them cannot properly target the functional issue of uncertainty. Finally, the chapter outlines the comparatively and historically informed method of the volume, and identifies the doctrinal areas that the other chapters will investigate in detail. The chapter lays the groundwork for the analysis that will be undertaken throughout the rest of the volume and especially in Chapter 12
