Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This article discusses various aspects of criminal and civil liability with special reference to Austrian and German law. Whereas there are already innumerable German court decisions covering gynaecological and obstetric practice this is not yet true for Austria. However, the basic legal structure in both legal systems is very similar. Therefore German court practice which is progressively adopting a very strict liability regime could be influential for Austria's judiciary as well. |
