Full textThe doctrine of avoidable loss is a generally recognized principle in Swedish law. The doctrine is often invoked in damage claim disputes of all kinds, and is therefore important in practice. There is plenty of legal literature where the doctrine is treated in the context of sales law and insurance law. On the tort law side, however, there is nothing – this is the first dedicated work on the subject in Sweden. There are many tort cases where the question of avoidable loss is actualized, but due to the way the courts articulate the grounds for their rulings, the cases provide little guidance for the future, and therefore have little value as precedent. This is not necessarily an obstacle to the study. On the contrary, when looking outwards, I have found a wealth of ideas and study material in other areas of civil law, in law and economics, and in foreign law. The structural and methodological framework of the thesis was designed to allow for extraction of material from foreign sources without needing to conduct a thorough (and often uninteresting) comparative study. The main purpose of the investigation was to define the boundaries of the claimant’s liability as imposed by the doctrine. Considering the limited scope of the thesis, it would not have been possible to deconstruct the subject into details and conduct thorough investigations of those. Instead, the work was focused on determining general guidelines, thought patterns and clues; both de lege lata and de lege ferenda. Multiple such guidelines could be defined in various contexts where the doctrine is applied, but also, interestingly, in certain contexts where it is not obvious that considerations of avoidable loss are decisive. Multiple systemic issues have also been found, both in the application of the doctrine and in the underlying norms. I have humbly put forward several suggestions on how these issues could be alleviated to promote legal certainty in the doctrine’s application, both today and in the future.

The legal effect of contributory negligence in law of damages is provided by Article 217 of the Civil Code of the R.O.C. The paragraph 1 in this Article stipulates about the contributory negligence of the victim himself, and furthermore the paragraph 3 in the same Article regulates about when the victim should bear the third person’s contributory negligence. That is to say, although the victim himself is free from contributory negligence, in some situations it is likely to impute the third person’s negligence to him. According to the meaning of the paragraph, the third person must be “the person performing the obligation for the injured person” or ” the agent of the injured person”. In other words, if the third person fits the element of the paragraph, the victim should take responsible of the third person’s contributory negligence. However, the coverage of the “the person performing the obligation for the injured person” and “the agent of the injured person” are not without question at all. This thesis is going to start with the theory of the imputed contributory negligence, and try to find out the context of thinking on the issue of that the victim should or should not take responsible of the third person’s contributory negligence. Hope to clarify the concept of “the third person” on this issue. Moreover, it is generally recognized that the direct victim’s contributory negligence should be imputed to the indirect victim when the latter sues the tortfeasor. This thesis is also going to discuss this issue more deeply. At last, combine the type aforementioned, this thesis is of the opinion that we can all base on the paragraph 3 of the Article 217 as the legal basis on the issue of the imputed contributory negligence. Besides this thesis advises to delete the “the agent of the injured person” in the paragraph, and change the “the person performing the obligation for the injured person” into “ the care assistant of the injured person” in order to get matching with the meaning of “the third person” on the issue of imputed contributory negligence.

Contributory negligence as an element of tort law is provided in Article 217 of Civil Code. The Article states that if an injured person has negligently contributed in causing or aggravating the injury, the court may reduce the amount of compensation or release the compensation entirely. Reduction of damages can take place only if the conditions of contributory negligence are satisfied. Article 217 entails a contributory element from the victim in the sense that the damaged party neglects the duty of care for oneself; causation and tortious capacity as requirements of fault liability are also conditions of contributory negligence. However, the meanings and scope of these conditions are ill defined. As such, the difference between the conditions and consequence of contributory negligence has caused confusion in practice. The objectives of this study were thus to compare the German legal system and European principles as they relate to tort law and to propose possible solutions through analysis of theories and case studies. Contributory negligence requires the damaged party to take reasonable care of its own interest. The theoretical basis for this requirement is the burden of self-protection, namely, the duty of care concerning an individual’s own affairs. Article 217 states that contributory negligence should be considered not only when the damage is caused by positive self-endangering actions of the damaged party, but also when the damaged party neglects to take positive self-protecting measures to avert or minimize potential damages. Contributory negligence can also be established if the victim, while fully aware of the circumstances, undertakes an activity or participate in a situation involving an unusually high degree of danger. The principles of justice and fairness between tortfeasors and victims are important in defining the obligations of the damaged party. While considerations should be given to prevent tortfeasors from unnecessary heavy liabilities, fairness and reasonableness should also be ensured for the injured party. Generally, the standard of care can be established by considering the actions of a reasonably prudent person. However, in the case of contributory negligence, the legal practice tends to allow for subjective factors of the victim. Although the standard of care required of the damaged party is the same as that of the tortfeasor, exceptions may be made for certain populations. According to the provisions of Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB), contributory negligence can be disregarded if the victim is underage or handicapped in cases of traffic accidents. In a legal environment of strict liability, the interpretation of contributory negligence tends to be broad, and courts may expand the scope of contributory negligence to an extent such that compensations are excluded completely. Unreasonably strict definitions of a specific provision’s protective purpose, combined with the application of the controversial theory of superseding cause, make it increasingly difficult for plaintiffs to request compensations. The justification of contributory negligence under the legal system of No-Fault Compensation and Compulsory Liability Insurance is also problematic if the purpose of efficient compensation is not achieved. The reduction of compensation occurs upon the satisfaction of all the conditions of contributory negligence. The most likely consequence of contributory negligence is a distribution of damages between the tortfeasor and the victim in the form of quotas; however, how these damages may be distributed remains elusive in practice. This study proposes that the court should first conduct an appropriate apportionment procedure by balancing the casual contributions of the liable and the injured parties. Subsequently, an equitable adjustment procedure may be performed by considering the extent of blameworthiness and other factors, such as socioeconomic status. As a result, the consequences of contributory negligence may become more predictable.

This study tries to find a better way ,based on article 217 of the Civil Code, improving the liability contribution method of torts for the both parties on a traffic accident. In the study, we use contributory negligence system for tort liability instead of pure comparative negligence. This study explore that the positive influence for courts, centers of traffic adjudication and insurance industry, thought the methodology of literature review and focus-group participants. Compared with Pure Comparative Negligence, Contributory Negligence is “all-or –nothing theory”, person who negligently cannot be held liable if that injured contributed to his own suffering and injury. Consider Contributory Negligence is very different from Comparative, this study refer to Negligence system from most states of USA, Japan and China, as the substitution plan before performing Contributory Negligence system.
