Les enjeux liés à la circulation automobile internationale concernent le développement du commerce international ainsi que la libre circulation des personnes. Ce développement des échanges s'est fait malgré les divergences de leur législation respective. La circulation internationale va en effet engendrer des conflits de lois qu'il faudra résoudre par des mesures de coordination. Elle va également provoquer des conflits de juridictions impliquant la détermination du juge compétent pour trancher les réclamations. L'existence de cette circulation routière internationale a donc engendré une réglementation permettant de parvenir à une coordination entre les différentes lois applicables et de faciliter les démarches de la victime en lui évitant de recourir à un juge. Essentiellement privée à l'origine, la réglementation évoluera sous l'influence de la construction européenne. Le processus d'indemnisation d'une victime suit chronologiquement deux étapes. Tout d'abord, il s'agit de déterminer la loi applicable à la responsabilité civile. Celle-ci permet d'apprécier la responsabilité de l'auteur de l'accident et de fixer le quantum de l'indemnisation. Ensuite, il est procédé à sa mise en œuvre par l'assureur en application d'un contrat d'assurance. Le contenu de ce dernier devra être conforme à la législation régissant l'assurance obligatoire du pays de l'accident dont la fonction est de couvrir le montant de la dette de responsabilité. La coordination de la lex contratcus avec les dispositions régissant l'assurance obligatoire doit donc se faire en faveur de la lex loci delicti car elle présente l'avantage d'être neutre et prévisible pour l'ensemble des parties. / Issues related to international traffic related to the development of international trade and the free movement of person' trade. The development of trade was done despite differences in their respective legislation. International traffic with indeed lead to conflicts of laws that must be addressed by coordinating measures. It will also lead to conflicts of jurisdiction involving the determination of the competent court to adjudicate claims. The existence of this international traffic has created a regulation to achieve coordination between the various applicable laws and facilitate the process of the victim by avoiding recourse to a judge. Essentially private in origin, regulation evolves under the influence of European integration. The compensation of a victim process chronologically follows two steps. Firstly, it is to determine the law applicable to civil liability. This allows assessing the responsibility of the author of the accident and determine the quantum of compensation. Then he proceeded to its implementation by the insurer under an insurance contract. The content of the latter must comply with the laws governing compulsory insurance in the country of the accident whose function is to cover the amount of the debt liability. Coordinating the lex contratcus with the provisions governing compulsory insurance must be in favor of the lex loci delicti because it has the advantage of being neutral and predictable for all parties.

Abstract This dissertation assesses the potential impacts of corporate governance codes and legislation on Directors and Officers (D&O) Liability Insurance. Corporate failures lead to numerous losses for stakeholders especially shareholders. Worldwide including in South Africa, this has resulted in an increase in legal liability claims against directors and thus insurers. Often these failures are ascribed to corporate governance breaches giving rise initially to corporate governance codes and more recently many countries are legislating certain aspects of corporate governance; this includes a codification of director‟s duties. South Africa, in-line with the United Kingdom, Australia and to an extent the United States has followed suit with the Companies Bill of 2008. This dissertation seeks to assess the possible effects of the codes of practice and new Companies Act on Directors‟ and Officers‟ Liability insurance. This will be done by ascertaining what impact the new Act will have on directors‟ liability using inter alia the Delphi Technique.

Motor Third Party Liability Insurance has appeared some years after serial production of cars was started. This kind of insurance was made obligatory in many European countries after it was noticed, that not all the drivers, who did harm to others or damaged their property, were able to suit civil liability claims and compensate damage. The Lithuanian Motor Third Party Liability Insurance Law was accepted on June 14, 2001 and came into force on January 1, 2002; the demand to insure vehicle came into force after 3 months, on April 1. Lithuania was the last country in Europe, which brought into practice this obligatory kind of insurance. In this work insurance markets of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are being compared. These markets were chosen because of economical and political situation: ex-members of USSR, similar living standards, no insurance market. After retrieving independence insurance companies were established little by little. The aim of this work is to show how insurance markets that started in the same conditions, later developed differently and to compare their present situation. Both: annual and average data is being used for the comparison. In the first part of this work statistical data of Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian insurance markets are compared: the number of insurance companies, average installment for a habitant, etc. In the second part the contracts, signed by Lithuanian insurance companies each quarter, are studied as time series. Several time... [to full text]
