Regulating Older Drivers
By: Loughran, David S.; Seabury, Seth A.; Zakaras, Laura
Published by: RAND Corporation

Are older drivers posing an increasing risk to the public? If they are, what options should policymakers consider to mitigate that risk? This research offers a new perspective on these questions. Using an innovative approach to estimate the extent to which older drivers are on the road and their riskiness compared with drivers of other age groups, the study finds that older drivers (those 65 and older) are slightly (16 percent) likelier than drivers aged 25 to 64 to cause an accident and that they pose much less risk to the public than do drivers aged 15 to 24, who are nearly three times likelier than older drivers to cause an accident. However, because of their greater frailty, older drivers are much likelier than other drivers to be seriously injured or killed when involved in an accident. In light of these findings, the authors find little support for the idea that stricter licensing policies targeting older drivers would substantially improve traffic safety. more...

Religion and Personal Law in Secular India
By: Larson, Gerald J. (ed.)
Published by: Indiana University Press

Though a directive principle of the constitution, a uniform civil code of law has never been written or instituted in India. As a result, in matters of personal law the segment of law concerning marriage, dowry, divorce, parentage, legitimacy, wills, and inheritance individuals of different backgrounds must appeal to their respective religious laws for guidance or rulings. But balancing the claims of religious communities with those of a modern secular state has caused some intractable problems for India as a nation. Religion and Personal Law in Secular India provides a comprehensive look into the issues and challenges that India faces as it tries to put a uniform civil code into practice. more...

Selbstbestimmung im Alter
By: Ganner, Michael
Published by: Springer

Es ist Aufgabe der Rechtsordnung sicherzustellen, dass der individuelle Wille respektiert wird, und zwar auch im Alter, bei Pflegebedrftigkeit und bei Behinderung. Wenn Personen aufgrund einer psychischen Krankheit (z.B. Demenz) oder geistigen Behinderung Entscheidungen nicht mehr ohne Schaden fr sich selbst treffen knnen, bedrfen sie jedoch eines besonderen rechtlichen Schutzes. Ausgehend von einer rechtstatschlichen Erhebung zu Alter und Pflegebedrftigkeit werden in einem Rechtsvergleich zwischen sterreich und Deutschland die verfassungs- und privatrechtlichen Grundlagen der Selbstbestimmung und Privatautonomie untersucht. Besonderes Augenmerk wird dabei auf das Zivilrecht gelegt, das die Grundlage fr die Rechtsbeziehungen zwischen den Leistungsanbietern im Pflegebereich und den Konsumenten, den pflegebedrftigen Menschen, darstellt. Darber hinaus behandelt die Arbeit allgegenwrtige Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der medizinischen Behandlung und der Versorgung pflegebedrftiger Personen. more...

Shifts in Compensating Work-related Injuries and Diseases
By: Klosse, Saskia (ed.); Hartlief, Ton (ed.)
Published by: Springer

Inspired by developments mirroring shifts in the legal basis for compensating damage from civil law to public funding and vice versa, this book examines the developments in compensation systems for damage arising from work-related injuries and diseases. The shifts which have occurred in this area in Germany, England, Belgium and the Netherlands are the subject of this volume. The shifts in the legal doctrine, legislation and the case law of these countries will first be mapped from a historical and comparative perspective, with the aim of discovering the precise nature of the given shifts. Subsequently the shifts will be analysed and explained on the basis of the legal history so as to comprehend the reasons behind the shifts. Finally, the effects of the shifts will be examined. Did the shifts have the desired effects or did other, perhaps unexpected, effects arise and if so why and in what form? An economic analysis of law will be included to provide an answer to these questions. more...

Shifts in Compensation Between Private and Public Systems
By: Boom, Willem H. Van (ed.); Faure, Michael (ed.)
Published by: Springer

Why have some legal systems abandoned tort law in some areas and replaced it with some form of no-fault compensation scheme or strict liability? What have been the effects? How should we evaluate these ???shifts???? Why have they not been adopted in other countries? These questions have been the focus of the "Shifts in Compensation" research project and this is the final volume in this series, addressing, on the one hand, the issues relating to ???shifts??? in compensation systems at a more general level, and on the other hand, addressing shifts in particular domains. The papers examining the shifts at a more general level provide a framework for the analysis of the various shifts and explain the shifts towards an increasing use of strict liability and no-fault regimes. To what extent shifts in compensation can be explained by insurance markets and their relative flexibility is also dealt with. In addition, shifts in the specific areas of medical mishaps and disasters are also examined. This book brings together lawyers and economists from various jurisdictions thus providing a multidisciplinary approach to tort law and alternative instruments. more...
