The article of one of the most prominent contemporary representatives of “bewegliches System” conception of private law regulation provides a thorough examination of factors influencing the leading approachs to assessment of fault in german speaking jurisdictions. The author comes to conclusion that unconditional adherence to unified (either subjective or objective) approach shall not attend to the ends pursued by particular intitutions aggregated under the name of civil liability, whereas the ethically underpinned concept of liability requires subjective approach as a general rule for noncontractual liability.

Abstract In European private law, operators of industrial facilities, power plants and other sites using special substances or procedures are made responsible for harm caused by pollution even where it is doubtful that such harmdoing is unreasonable or could have been foreseen. Analysing both fault-based and strict liability, the author discusses legal bases for this liability and its justification in European jurisdictions.

The purpose of the article is to study the legal nature and essence of the categories of reasonableness and good faith in the field of private law regulation in the legislation of modern Russia. The methodological basis of the research was the general scientific dialectical method of cognition and the private scientific methods that follow from it: system-structural, concrete-sociological, technical-legal, historical-legal, and comparative legal methods. Their application allowed the authors of the article to study the objects under consideration in their interrelation, integrity, comprehensively and objectively. The article concludes that good faith is essential in filling the gaps in the legislation. It is not always possible to establish a single rule, to approve a norm that excludes unfair conduct. The gaps are not only due to legislative errors. Two factors have an important impact: the diversity of relations and their constant development in different areas (for example, e-commerce, financial markets).

This chapter focuses on the torts—or civil wrongs—traditionally relied on in environmental litigation: private and public nuisance, trespass, negligence, and the rule in Rylands v. Fletcher. It discusses and outlines statutory nuisance and various instances of statutory civil liability, some of which go beyond providing remedies for individuals and provide for wider environmental clean-up. Traditionally, private law has attempted to serve the function of controlling environmental damage. However, the chapter shows that the similarity is often superficial; the essential characteristic of private law is to regulate relationships between individuals by the balancing of individual interests. It concludes by briefly considering the EU Environmental Liability Directive, which has some similarities with private law remedies but is primarily an administrative mechanism for environmental remediation in defined situations.

An exhaustive review of our case law is required for a proper understanding of municipalities' civil liability for offences and quasi-offences. It appears indeed that there is no other alternative since, on one hand, the legislator is mute on number of important relevant questions and, on the other hand, municipalities, are governed by rules of public law. Our review covering a period of about eighty years, contains an analysis of the three « schools of thought » that succesively exerciced considerable influence upon our court decisions. The different « schools of thought » naturally emerged from the constant opposition of public and private law divided by a boundary line subject to fluctuation.
