National civil legislation, as well as general theoretical approaches and points of view to the issues of civil liability in the pharmaceutical healthcare sector were used as research material. Results. The sphere of circulation of medicines is a multifaceted complex of legal relations regulated by the norms of various branches of law. At the same time, their generalizing feature is the focus on providing the population with affordable, safe and high-quality medicines. Establishing the rights of citizens at the legislative level, the legislator always necessarily provides for mechanisms of protection against violation of these rights. One of the most effective mechanisms is legal liability. Since the above citizens' rights are civil rights, it seems relevant to investigate the essence and content of civil liability in the pharmaceutical healthcare sector. Pacta sunt servanda is a principle of international law, according to which treaties are binding and must be executed in good faith. Unlike contractual liability, delict liability occurs in cases where the violator does not have a contractual relationship with the offended party. Conclusions.

Nowadays, the various forms of contractual agreements have spread between the different contracting companies for the purpose of executing the huge international contracts which require the synergy of all efforts. This has led to the appearance of new forms of cooperation between the international contractors, called the "Consortium Agreement", which is a kind of special partnership entered into for the purpose of executing a certain project, and ends at the completion of this project, without the constitution of a separate entity for the parties of this consortium. Nonetheless, many and various legal implications result from this consortium, some of which may be attributed to the subordination relationship between this agreement and the international contract of construction; while other legal implications might be attributed to the Consortium Agreement itself. The main problem in this regard may arise, if the consortium members did not agree on the accurate determination of the civil liability for each party, whether it was during the pre-contractual stage, or during the contract's execution; as well as the specific determination of the consortium members' liability towards the employer for the individual mistake of one member, especially in light of the multiple parties and the unity of purpose. In this regard, the liability may take one of the following two forms: first, to consider all members of the consortium as joint partners before the employer; second, to adopt the personal liability of each member separately, thus, each member shall be liable only for the part assigned to him. Hence, we will try here to answer a major question regarding the liability of the consortium members for the individual error of one member towards each other or towards the employer, taking into consideration the special nature of the Consortium Agreement.

The author considers different ways for determining the amount of insurance compensation to be paid to the participant of shared-quity construction in case of occurrence of an insured event in the form of recognition of the developer’s insolvency (bankruptcy) or foreclosure of a collateral. The purpose of the paper is to identify approaches to the determination of this amount used by insurers at different stages of implementation of the mechanism of the developer’s civil liability insurance and to analyze these approaches’ legality. The author analyzes actual jurisprudence in cases involving insurers and participants in shared-equity construction. It is established that at the first stage in the legislation there were no rules for determining the amount of insurance compensation in this area, and insurers determined it at their discretion. At the second stage, when the minimum amount of insurance compensation was consolidated in law, insurers faced controversy caused by a mismatch between the amount originally paid by the construction participant under an equity participation agreement and the amount to be paid. The author concludes that, at the second stage, the disagreement concerning the amount of insurance compensation is caused by the insurers’ abuse of right.

In this article, the author analyses the burden of proof in determination of fault-based liability. The main focus is placed on the first prerequisite of civil liability – fault, which can be defined as non-compliance of the factual conduct with the required standard of care (in form of negligence or intent). Currently, the aspect of burden of proof regarding fault is quite unclear in Latvian private law. Therefore, in this article the author answers the fundamental question: which party has the legal duty to prove the prerequisite “fault” (or its absence) according to the Civil Law? Additionally, the author will also outline the peculiarities of burden of proof in both tort law and contract law.

This article discusses the urgent issue of the grounds for exempting a medical organization from liability for harming the patient’s health. The authors point out the imperfection of the legislation in the sphere of norms governing the grounds for both full and partial exemption from civil liability, due to the lack of concretization and legal determination of the necessary categories. The absence in the legislation of a clear definition of such categories as “medical error”, “medical accident”, and “justified medical risk” contributes to contradictions in the assessment of the actions of medical workers and the conclusions of the court. The authors propose making changes that will help improve the legislation on this issue
