abstract
In this treatise the author makes a detailed theoretical and practical analysis of one of the actual facts of civil liability for damage. In way of introduction the author discusses the foundations of the regulation of such liability in the Civil Code in force. Then he proceeds to pay attention to the liability principle, on which indemnity for damage arisen in this way is based, i.e. to the wide and strict objective principle, including certain liberation possibilities. It is in this connection that the author examines in detail the dual purpose of the function of the liability for the damage caused, in fact of the reparative (compensatory) and preventively educational function. The gist of the treatise is an analysis of the various prerequisites of the origin of the investigated liability. In connection therewith a detailed exposition of the cardinal statutory terms, such as in particular of the organisation providing accommodation facilities, of the garage operator and of operators of similar kinds of establishments, of the articles brought in, of operation linked as a rule with deposit of articles, of articles left in the place appointed for the purpose or of the place where these are usually left etc. is given. Particular attention is paid by the author to the exact definition of the liability subjects. In this part of the treatise the author gives an extensive survey of the legal practice evaluating it generally and drawing theoretical conclusions therefrom. In this connection he deals also with some cases not as yet decided by courts (for inst. whether the examined liability is also applicable to self-service food stores etc.). In the conclusion of the paper a detailed analysis of the problems of the extent of compensation for the damage thus caused, including questions connected in these cases with its limitation (maximilisation), is given.
