Punitive Damages in Europe and Plea for the Recognition of Legal Pluralism
No full textThis multi-author article aims to demonstrate that, despite the traditional understanding that tort law should serve the sole purpose of remedying the harm caused as precisely as possible, there are growing indications in several continental European legal systems that damages awards are not entirely immune from extra-compensatory, punitive features. This is evident particularly with regard to moral damages, to ‘compensation’ for the violation of privacy rights and of intellectual property rights. Moreover, statutory civil sanctions, conceived of as alternatives to criminal and administrative penalties, are increasingly being adopted by national legislatures to deter anti-social behaviour. Based upon scholarly work and case law from different European jurisdictions, the authors argue that extra-compensatory damages are frequently applied by national judges, albeit not always in an overt manner, and that such a phenomenon should not be deemed a priori in conflict with the principles of European law
Compensation for Vaccine Damage in the United Kingdom
No full textInternational audienceIn this article, the author explains the principle of compensation in the event of damages resulting from a vaccine. It specifies that a law (Vaccine Damage Payments Act 1979) establishes the list of diseases resulting from vaccines which can lead to compensation. The author recalls that a causal link must be proven between vaccination and the disease development. In addition, the author explains the possibility of using an alternative route in order to obtain a compensation for the injury. Indeed, it is possible to turn against the manufacturer of the vaccine by advocating the defect of the product.Dans cet article, l’auteur expose le principe de réparation en cas de dommages résultant d’un vaccin.
