Repetitorium zum ausservertraglichen Haftpflichtrecht

Who is liable to whom, for what reasons, and for what purposes? These questions are at the core of non-contractual liability law, which is part of the fundamental legal framework and is addressed in this review in the proven format of questions and answers. The basics of liability law are presented, including the general conditions for liability as well as the specific aspects of fault-based and causal liability. Furthermore, the review deals with damage calculation and the assessment of compensation, and also covers satisfaction, the liability of multiple parties responsible for compensation, the statute of limitations for claims, and liability insurance. Given the ever-expanding scope of liability law, this review aims to focus on the essential fundamentals and does not intend to cover the extensive literature on liability law.
