Employers' Liability and Workers' Compensation

The Institute for European Tort Law with support by the European Centre of Tort and Insurance Law (ECTIL)  embarked already in 2009 on a Comparative Project on Employers' Liability and Workers' Compensation. The study – conducted in English and led by Ken Oliphant (Institute for European Tort Law, Vienna) and Gerhard Wagner (University of Bonn) – will consist of reports from Austria, Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Rumania, the United States of America and the United Kingdom. With regard to content the study will focus on the compensation of occupational diseases and accidents. Issues like discrimination, moral or sexual harassment and other damages claims of employees against their employer will be dealt with in the reports for countries where these issues are seen as a part of Employers' Liability (e.g. UK, USA), but not in detail. Major aspects of the reports will be a description of different existing compensation schemes, interactions between Employers' Liability and Workers' Compensation, a comparison of both systems and their respective efficiency.
Contributors were nvited to a working meeting in Vienna in  November 2010 so as to discuss issues arising and comparative conclusions to be drawn. First results of the research will be presented at a public conference in Munich in early 2011.
