Both Turkish and Azerbaijani legislation requires motor vehicle owners to enter into a contract of compulsory civil liability insurance. The list of vehicles with compulsory civil liability insurance to third parties is reflected in Article 50.2 of the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan on “Compulsory Insurance”. A similar list of vehicles with compulsory civil liability insurance is reflected in the Law of the Republic of Turkey “On Motor Roads”. Losses included in the coverage area of the insurance contract on compulsory civil liability insurance of motor vehicle owners are classified in the form of damage to vehicles, material damage and damage to life and health of the victim.

The gloss refers to the Judgment of the CJEU, which stated that the concept of 'use of vehicles’ covers the situation when the passenger of a vehicle parked in a car park, while opening the door of that vehicle, scraped against and damaged the vehicle parked next to it. This means that the motor liability insurance covers such damages, irrespective of the legal regulations contained in the laws of the EU Member States, which impose an insurance obligation and define its scope. The Judgment of the CJEU is contrary to the Polish law in force, which assumes that the motor liability insurance covers the responsibility of the owner of the vehicle and the driver of the vehicle, but not third parties (including the passenger). Although, according to the author, the extension of liability does not have an axiological justification, it is necessary to modify the interpretation of the Polish regulations defining the scope of insurance coverage and to introduce the amendment to the Act on Compulsory Insurance, the Insurance Guarantee Fund and the Polish Motor Insurers’ Bureau in the future.

Summary Objectives: This study aims to emphasize legal pitfalls, especially the often underestimated liability issues for both clients of telemedicine and “tele-doctors”. The main relevance of telemedicine lies in its capability to link medical practitioners and remote hospitals to larger or specialized facilities in a very fast electronic manner. This may become even more important due to current increases in subspecialization and the demand for more precise diagnosis and consultation in difficult cases. However, every potential user or client of telemedicine should keep in mind that several questions of law are involved. Methods: In this paper, two case studies representative of practical teleneuropathology scenarios are described. The assessment of the legal implications is focused on the personal liability of the teleneuropathologist. Results: The far-reaching personal liability of the teleneuropathologist can lead to situations in which neither the insurance of the hospital nor the private professional liability insurance could be called on to refund possible damages for health impairments of a patient. Conclusions: In Germany, a contractual exclusion of liability in health matters is not admissible. With regard to the European situation, international agreements such as a European telemedicine law could be conducive to the future border-crossing development of telemedicine though, to date, the legal competencies remain with the single member countries of the European Community.

<span>In 1993 accountants faced 5,000 liability suits in which judgments were sought exceeding $30 billion. In response to potential litigation, numerous CPA firms have purchased liability insurance for protection. AT present little is known about the types of firms that become insured, and factors influencing the sources from which insured firms buy their coverage. Results o this study indicate that insurance coverage is less likely among small firms and firms that provide data processing services, while tax firms are more likely to acquire coverage. Among firms that purchase insurance, premiums tend to be higher among older firms, partnerships, and firms providing data processing services. Provision of auditing or tax services tends to be associated with lower premiums, other factors held constant. We do not find evidence of self selection bias in the determination of premiums. Further results provide insight into choices among insured firms regarding the sources of coverage.</span>
