Authority or reason? The economic consequences of liability for breach of statutory duty in a comparative perspective
Article Abstract:
The economic consequences of liability for breach of statutory duty is addressed by taking a statistical material from Germany which shows that quality of public service need not be reduced by holding regulators and civil servants liable for negligent or unlawful acts of omissions. Findings indicate that financial constraints have prevented the legislator from introducing stricter forms of liability for wrongs committed by public officials in the exercise of their duties.
