PublicationDie Mittäterschaft und Teilnahme im Zivilrecht : eine rechtsvergleichende AnalyseIf one acts in concert with others and thereby causes harm to a third person, he and the other tortfeasors will be considered joint tortfeasors. They will all be jointly and severally liable in accordance with art. 50 para. 1 of the Swiss Code of Obligations. The limits of said provision, however, are far from clear. The only element Swiss scholars and courts agree on is that for joint and several liability to arise, it is sufficient to negligently participate in a tortious activity. Compared to other legal systems, this notion of joint tortfeasors is particularly broad. This thesis aims to clarify the concept of joint tortfeasors under Swiss civil law. In order to achieve that, it draws on solutions common in German, Austrian, and US civil law as well as Swiss criminal law. In this process, defining what acting in concert refers to proves to be crucial. The first question to be asked is whether the persons acted together intentionally or negligently. Second, the purpose of said concerted action needs to be clarified. Its goal could have been a tortious act. It is also well possible that it was aimed at a course of conduct that in itself was not problematic from a tort law perspective. However, in the course of such conduct, the tortfeasors might have negligently caused an injury to a third person. With reference to Austrian and US tort law, the author significantly narrows down the notion of joint tortfeasors traditionally common in Swiss legal doctrine. The solution presented in this thesis requires that the joint tortfeasors intentionally acted together in pursuance of a common plan. That common plan, however, does not need to have entailed a tortious act. For joint and several liability to arise, it is sufficient that the tortfeasors acted negligently when pursuing their plan, thus causing an injury to a third person. The author then applies her concept to several case groups common in legal practice. The focus lies on modern phenomena, such as internet service provider liability and the liability for damages caused during mass events such as protests or riots.Type: doctoral thesis
