Costs and Compensation Paid in Aviation Accident Litigation by James S. Kakalik Pdf

Based on a review of more than 2,000 U.S. airline aviation accident death cases from 1970 to 1984, this report describes the characteristics of the decedents and compares the compensation paid to their survivors with the levels of economic loss they suffered. The study found that the plaintiffs received 71 percent in net compensation, and 29 percent went for transactions costs. The findings indicate that airline accident litigation has higher transactions costs, but a lower ratio of transactions costs to total expenditures than tort litigation in general.

Executive Summaries of the Aviation Accident Study by Anonim Pdf

In 1985, RAND's Institute for Civil Justice undertook a detailed study of aviation accident litigation in the United States. This report summarizes the resulting four detailed study reports. It describes the characteristics of the decedents and the litigation, and provides data on compensation paid, litigation costs, and economic losses suffered. The report compares the economic losses and transactions costs with the amount of compensation paid. The findings indicate that airlines and other defendants compensated victims' survivors for less than half of their average economic loss. The findings also indicate that aviation accident litigation has higher transactions costs than tort litigation in general, but a lower ratio of transactions costs to total expenditures.

New Trends in Financing Civil Litigation in Europe by Mark Tuil,Louis Visscher Pdf

This unique and timely book analyses the problem of financing civil litigation. The expert contributors discuss the legal possibilities and difficulties associated with several instruments - including cost shifting, fee arrangements, legal expense insurance and group litigation. The authors assess the impact of these instruments from a law and economics perspective and provide empirical information on the way in which they work in practice. A transatlantic perspective on financing civil litigation is also provided. New Trends in Financing Civil Litigation in Europe reveals that as well as improving access to justice, several instruments have the potential to screen cases based on their quality. The book also shows how the choice of instrument can affect the behaviour of actors throughout the litigation process.

Contingencies, Resilience and Legal Constitutionalism by Clive Walker Pdf

Contingency planning and resilience are of prime importance to the late modern risk society, with implications for law and for governance arrangements. Our risk society continues to seek ever more complex and detailed risk mitigation responses by law, including the UK’s Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and the US Homeland Security Act 2002, which respond to counter-terrorism, natural catastrophes, and other risks. This book seeks to analyse and criticise the legal developments in contingencies and resilience on a comparative basis, which engages with not only law and constitutionalism but also political theory and policy, including relations between public and private, national and local, and civil and military. Two transcending themes are of interest. One is institutional or structural – what bodies and power relations should we establish in a late modern world where Critical National Infrastructure is mainly held in private hands? The second is dynamic and concerns the grant of powers and arrangements for live responses. Both aspects are subjected to a strong critical stance based in 'constitutionalism', which demands state legitimacy even in extreme situations by the observance of legality, effectiveness, accountability, and individual rights. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Human Rights.

Aviation Accident Litigation Survey by Anonim Pdf

"In 1985, RAND's Institute for Civil Justice undertook a detailed study of aviation accident litigation in the United States. The study covered the general character of aviation accident litigation; reviewed the underlying principles and procedures used to compute the economic loss associated with individual decedents; described the characteristics of the decedents and compared the compensation paid to their survivors with the levels of economic loss they suffered; and analyzed the legal and economic determinants of the litigation decisions that plaintiffs and defendants faced. This Note contains the forms used to compile the data used in the various analyses.

Developing an Appropriate Contaminated Land Regime in China by Xiaobo Zhao Pdf

Like all industrialized countries, China has encountered increasing problems with land contamination in recent years. Abandoned mining and manufacturing sites and obsolete industrial complexes, while also creating new polluting industrial enterprises, represent impending environmental threats. More importantly, a number of social and economic problems have developed and must be dealt with, in some cases urgently. Contaminated land laws and regulations have been established and have evolved in the US and UK and many other jurisdictions over the past few decades. These regimes have substantially influenced the relevant legislation in the context of numerous Asian and European countries and will inevitably benefit similar legislative efforts in China. This book is the first monograph that focuses on how China can learn from the US and UK with respect to contaminated land legislation and comprehensively illustrates how contaminated land law could be created in China. It will be of interest to academics and practitioners in environmental law in China, as well as the US and UK.
