"Twenty new rules of tort liability law"
One, the establishment of "equal life compensation" principle of compensation
"Tort liability law" seventeenth article: "multiple deaths caused by the same tort, compensation for death can be determined in the same amount.""The tort liability law", will break for a long time because of household registration, and result in death compensation is several times the problem.
In December 4, 2003, several issues concerning the application of law of compensation for personal injury cases, the interpretation of the Supreme People's court, the 1299th meeting of the judicial committee of the May 1, 2004 implementation of the "" (hereinafter referred to as the "interpretation" of personal injury compensation) for the first time in the form of judicial interpretation of the "life with different price" system, the "life with different price" the "legal status".
"Explain" the human body indemnity twenty-ninth stipulates: "the death compensation in accordance with the seat of the court on appeal by the year of urban residents per capita disposable income per capita income or rural residents, according to twenty years.But more than sixty years of age, the age reduction for each additional one year old years; more than seventy-five years of age, according to five years."
The regulations shall come into force as of yet, questioned by academics, practitioners and media and criticized, "interpretation of personal injury compensation in the" about "life with different price" provisions, distinguish between city residents and rural residents of different identities, in order to determine the different standard of compensation, the main consideration to the actual situation I urban and rural system of two yuan, has certain rationality.But, today, the courts or the "interpretation of personal injury compensation" as "imperial sword", the household registration as criteria of city residents and rural residents and judgment basis, can not meet the current situation of our country. Only one life, life is the most precious.In a society ruled by law, everyone is equal before the law, distinguish between urban and rural residents is trampling on the rule of law.However, it is the Supreme People's court, in make to the higher people's Court of Yunnan province (2005) the people He Zi No. twenty-fifth "on the habitual residence in the town of rural residents for how to calculate traffic casualties compensation reply" clearly pointed out: "in personal injury compensation cases, disability compensation, death compensation and raised calculation of the cost of living, should according to the actual circumstances of the case, combined with the factors of residence, place of residence, determine the applicability of urban residents per capita disposable income (per capita consumption expenditure) or net income of rural residents (living consumption expenditure per capita) standard.In this case, the victim Tang Shunliang although is a rural household, but in city business, living, its habitual residence and the main source of income for city, cost compensation of damage should be calculated according to the related standard of the local residents."
this reply to household registration in the countryside but long live, work, live in the city of the victims and their close relatives to see the dawn of fairness and justice, however, in the judicial practice, the court indiscriminately, persist in one's old ways, rarely "equal life compensation".
"Tort liability act" the tort of road traffic, safety, fire, railway transportation, agricultural machinery and death accident caused the death toll of more, can not consider the factors of age, income, determined by the same amount of death compensation, the compensation scheme to determine the "package", with the same amount of death compensation.This article, from the "life with different price" to "equal life compensation", show is the equality of rights and dignity of life, we should look forward to.
Two, the establishment of mental damage compensation principle
"Tort liability law" twenty-second stipulates: "the other person rights violations, causing serious mental damage, the victim may claim compensation for mental damage."Thus it can be seen, "the principle of compensation for spiritual damages the establishment of tort liability law", one is the compensation for spiritual damage restricted to the infringement of personal rights, infringement of personal rights including the right to health, violating the right of life, right of reputation, privacy, but does not include property rights; two is the need to achieve "serious mental the extent of the damage," by the infringer may claim compensation for moral damage.
Before our law has prescribed the death compensation, disability compensation, but compensation calculation, what is the content of the law, and no specific provisions."Tort liability act" the first clear the death compensation, disability compensation, including compensation amount calculation method, etc..
In February 26, 2001, the Supreme People's court by the 1161st meeting of the judicial committee "about the problems of defining the civil right infringement spirit damage compensate responsibility" (hereinafter referred to as the "explanation" interpretation of compensation for spiritual damages) established the system of compensation for spiritual damages; "the personal injury compensation for spiritual damage interpretation" and further confirmed the personal damage, determine factors and creatively proposed the amount of compensation for mental injury including but not limited to: the degree of the infringer's fault, violation means, occasions, behavior specific circumstances, caused by the consequences of violations, profit of the infringer, the infringer to assume the responsibility of the economic capacity and the average standard of living of court location.
In April 29, 2010, the eleven meeting of the fourteenth NPC Standing Committee amended, the "State Compensation Law" thirty-fifth article also clearly stipulates: "the third article of this law or the provisions of article seventeenth circumstances, the spirit of causing damage, should be within the influenced scope of the infringement, elimination of influence for the victim, rehabilitation of reputation, apology; causing serious consequences, should pay for the damage to the spirit of the solatium."
The revised "State Compensation Law" to increase the compensation for spiritual damages provisions, carry out the spirit of the constitution about the respect and protection of human rights, reflects the progress of the rule of law, and the "tort liability act" echo each other at a distance, complement each other.
Three, strengthen employee employer liability, weakening the responsibility
"Tort liability law" thirty-fifth stipulates: "the formation of labor relations between individuals, providing labor party in the labor process and causes damage to others, the recipient of the service shall assume the tort liability; provide the Labor Party in labor process in their own harm, according to both their own fault shall bear the corresponding liability."
This article is to hire a baby sitter, decoration industry, shipping industry (hereinafter referred to as employees) formed between individual labor relations caused by the provisions of tort liability.Employee employer liability of tort, so that the main purpose is to protect the victim's interest, as is usually the case employees is weak, the compensation capability is relatively weak, and the employer as a strong group, have certain economic ability to pay and ability to pay.
In addition, from a legal perspective, the employee behavior in the provision of services in the process should be regarded as the "act of duty," enjoy "the employer since duty behavior" interests, should also bring negative consequences take "duty behavior", this is fair, is also in line with the basic spirit of the law.
"Tort liability law" to strengthen the responsibility of the employer, the employer responsibility, strengthen supervision and management responsibilities, but also encourage employees to strengthen safety consciousness, service consciousness.
Four, the site added liability, privacy infringement responsibility
"Tort liability law" thirty-sixth article: "Internet users, Internet service providers use the network infringes upon the civil rights and interests, it shall bear tort liability.Network users utilize the network to commit a tort, the infringee shall have the right to inform the Internet service provider to take delete, shielding, broken links and other necessary measures.The network service provider after receiving the notice did not take necessary measures in a timely manner, jointly and severally liable for damage to expand with the network subscriber.The network service provider knows that a network user infringe upon the civil rights and interests through the network services, and fails to take necessary measures, shall bear joint and several liability with the network subscriber."
Network is a "double-edged sword", can make the Internet users to obtain information, but also illegal and criminal activities by means of virtual network."Human flesh search" has a serious threat to the privacy of citizens, protection for citizen network in the field of civil rights of the mentioned a schedule is more important.The specification of the network infringement, adapt to the development of the times, reflects the progress of legislation.
In the "before" the tort liability law, the network right infringement case, by the Supreme People's Court on November 20, 2006, the 1406th meeting of the judicial committee December 8, 2006 implementation "on Revising the 'explain' the Supreme People's Court on the trial involving the law applicable to a number of computer network copyright disputes the decision (two)", this interpretation shall be responsible for network service provider liability stipulated.But to appear more and more social network infringe on the reputation of the right, the right of portrait and the "human flesh search" big explosion privacy behavior, but did not make the corresponding provisions.
In the judicial practice, along with the rapid development and popularization of the network, the network infringement cases have occurred from time to time."Network of violence", "blog dispute", "network fraud" and "naked chat case" occurred, sounded the alarm to Internet users, Internet service providers and Internet regulators."Tort liability act" to fill this gap, provides Internet users, Internet service providers use the network infringes upon the civil rights and interests, it shall bear tort liability.But the network service provider shall bear tort liability should satisfy two conditions, namely: first, from the victim to the present; second, even if the victim did not put forward any infringement occurs, the website, should also take measures, it shall be jointly and severally liable.To increase the responsibility of Internet service providers, protection of privacy.

Objective, not blindly expand the scope of security obligations, to avoid too much social disputes; at the same time it must deal not to the relationship between the safety guarantee obligation infringement and other violations of the relevant provisions of the law, to avoid or reduce the conflict or cooperation.
For the safety and security of the obligor fails to prevent others from obligation against the obligation of safety guarantee, he shall assume the tort liability; for the safety and security of the obligor fails to prevent others from the third party security obligations, should bear the corresponding supplementary liability.
In judicial practice, the need to pay attention to is, supplementary liability third person tort liability and security obligations is a sequential.First by third shall assume the tort liability, unable to find third people or third people do not have the ability to bear the liability for compensation of all, only by the safety and security obligations shall bear tort liability.If third people have all bear tort liability, the obligation of safety guarantee people no longer assume tort liability.In addition, the security liability of the obligor is the corresponding supplementary liability.For the third people did not assume the tort liability of the security obligation, not all bear down, but its not the obligation of safety within the scope of the bear, namely according to the degree of security obligation not to security obligations to determine its should be tort liability share of.
"Explain" the human body indemnity stipulated in article sixth: "in the accommodation, catering, entertainment and other business activities or other social activities of the natural person, legal person, other organization, not reasonable limit within the scope of the security obligations and causes others to suffer personal injury, compensation for the right to request it to bear the corresponding liability for compensation, the people's court shall support.Due to the third party infringement damage occurs, the implementation of the infringement of third party liability.The obligation of safety guarantee is at fault, it shall bear the corresponding supplementary liability in its ability to prevent or stop damage.Security obligations of responsibility, can claim compensation from the third person.The right to compensation prosecution of security obligations, should be third people as the co defendant, but the third person cannot be determined except."
In judicial practice, similar to "panic buying
supermarket trampled to death case", "Hunan Xiangxiang campus stampede case", and "bathing places slip to the disabled case", "the official implementation of the tort liability law", to get better solution.
Six, the campus injury case, responsibility to distinguish between good

This article is about the result of lease, from the owner of the motor vehicle and the use cases are not the same person, specify how to bear the liability for compensation after traffic accident.
Motor vehicle rental, refers to all motor vehicles motor vehicles will be delivered lessee use, income in a certain period of time, the vehicle owner charged rental costs, but does not provide a driving service behavior.Motor vehicle use, refers to all motor vehicles will motor vehicle at the time agreed by the use of the borrower.In judicial practice, vehicle leasing basically is lessor will only vehicle delivery of the lessee, lessor rent, but does not provide the driver.
In real life, for rental, lending, the separation of the vehicle and the owner, charterer, borrowing vehicle for the use of people, a large proportion of the actual controller.This is facing a motor vehicle after a traffic accident, is composed of all motor vehicles or to assume liability to pay compensation problem.
According to the provisions of this article, by motor vehicle leasing, borrowing situation all people and use are not the same person, after a traffic accident belongs to the motor vehicle party responsibility, the responsibility, should pay attention to three points: first, by insurance companies in the motor vehicle compulsory insurance liability limit the scope of compensation, i.e. the cross strong insurance priority compensation; secondly, the insurance company shall make compensation liability compulsory insurance within the range of the vehicle, the insufficient part, by the user of the motor vehicle shall bear the liability for compensation ("use" includes not only the lessee, borrower, including vehicle quality during the period of the pledgee, the repair, repair period by others during the custody custodian etc..In vehicle quality, repair and by others during the custody, the vehicle by the pledgee, repair and custodians of motor vehicle possession, they enjoy running power, and all the people lost the operation power); finally, the owner of the vehicle is also at fault for the damage, assume corresponding responsibility for compensation.All motor vehicles in the motor vehicle lease, lend, shall examine the lessee, borrower's qualifications, and ensure the vehicle performance to meet the safety requirements, otherwise, will be based on the degree of fault shall bear the corresponding liability for compensation.

In judicial practice, the infringee and their agents, may be difficult to distinguish the vehicle owner and lessee, borrower's true identity and relationship, for the sake of safety, should be the driver, the vehicle owner and the insurance company as a co defendant; and as far as possible to find the owner of the vehicle evidence of the existence of fault, to the maximum extent to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the victim.
Nine, the vehicle was stolen, responsible person responsibility
"Tort liability law" fifty-second stipulates: "motor vehicle theft, robbery and snatch the traffic accident damage caused by theft, robbery, or snatcher shall assume the compensatory liability.Insurance company insurance liability limit range pays rescue expenses in the vehicle, shall have the recourse against the person responsible for the traffic accident."
This article is about the robbery of motor vehicle traffic accident damage, stipulated by who bear the responsibility for compensation.Motor vehicle theft and robbery, and one of the owner and the motor phase separated morphology.Motor vehicle theft and unauthorized driving in the most extreme case.
To understand this, need from two aspects: one is the robbery of motor vehicle traffic accident damage caused by theft, who bear the responsibility for compensation.In July 3, 1999, the Supreme People's court "reply" about the stolen motor vehicle accident who is liable for damages problems pointed out: "motor vehicle accident using theft, cause material losses of victims, the party shall be liable for damages in accordance with the law, all the stolen motor vehicle is not liable for damages."Because vehicle theft, robbery and snatch, the vehicle owner to lose to the motor vehicle operation power, and this power loss is caused by the illegal acts of robbery, is all people reluctant, sometimes all don't know, not foreseen; but, in the motor vehicle theft cases next, because all of the vehicle keep on negligence, leading to loss of motor vehicle traffic accident, with no direct causal relationship.Therefore, should bear the robbery after traffic accident liability for damages, the owner of the vehicle shall not bear the responsibility for compensation.
On the other hand, the motor vehicle stolen after the accident harm compulsory insurance, the insurance company pays rescue expenses within the liability limit of the vehicle, shall have the recourse against the person responsible for the traffic accident."The provisions of article twenty-second of motor vehicle traffic accident liability compulsory insurance regulations": "the insured motor vehicle stolen during the accident, the insurance company in motor vehicle traffic accident liability compulsory insurance liability limit range pays rescue expenses, and have the right to recover the injurer."
Motor vehicle theft on the road, often bring great harm to people's life and property safety and public safety.The law not only for one class of motor vehicle theft and robbery criminal responsibility, and the provisions of the tort liability, which is conducive to the protection of the rights of the victims, but also responsible for traffic accidents sanctions illegal behavior.
In judicial practice, not only for the motor vehicle theft and robbery all cause huge economic losses, but also seriously harm the social public security, such as "Beijing 13 years old boy steals bus crashed into 12 cars
case", "the conductor steal bus killed pedestrians run", bloody facts, warning that we must to motor vehicle robbing people severely punished.
Escape ten, motor vehicle accidents, cross strong insurance Xianxingpeifu
"Tort liability law" fifty-third article: "motor vehicle driver flees after a traffic accident, the vehicle compulsory insurance, compulsory by insurance companies in the insurance liability limits the scope of compensation; the vehicle is unknown or the vehicle did not participate in the compulsory insurance, pay is tort person casualty rescue, funeral expenses and, by the road traffic accident social rescue fund disbursements.The road traffic accident social rescue fund to advance, the authority shall have the recourse against the person responsible for the traffic accident."
This article is about the motor vehicle after a traffic accident escape, the provisions of the infringee how to remedy.In judicial practice, some of the motor vehicle driver in the accident, in order to escape the legal sanction, or driving to escape, or abandon the vehicle to escape, causing irreparable damage to the victim's life, property, also caused serious harm to society.According to the relevant provisions of the "road traffic safety law", the traffic accidents on the road, the driver shall immediately stop the vehicle, protect the scene; caused human casualties, the vehicle driver shall immediately rescue the injured, the traffic police or traffic management departments of public security organs and promptly report on duty.Change the scene for rescuing the wounded, the location shall be indicated.
So, should grasp from three aspects, one is the motor vehicle traffic accidents in the compulsory motor vehicle insurance, and after a traffic accident can determine the vehicle, by insurance companies in motor vehicle compulsory insurance liability limits the scope of compensation; two is the motor vehicle driver drove away, resulting in motor vehicle and the vehicle is not unknown to participate in the compulsory motor vehicle insurance situation, the need to pay provisions infringed personal casualty rescue, funeral expenses, by the road traffic accident social rescue fund to advance all costs; three is to advance social rescue fund for road traffic accidents is tort person casualty rescue, funeral expenses, road traffic accident social rescue fund management has the right to the escape of the motor vehicle driver shall not buy, buy the compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance owner or manager, the person responsible for the traffic accident compensation.
"The tort liability law", is not only to the infringement of a protection, and through the form of law requires insurance companies to pay the infringed person casualty rescue, funeral expenses, insurance company to avoid the motor vehicle traffic accident of motor vehicle compulsory insurance or no grounds to refuse to pay the infringed person casualty rescue, funeral expenses; at the same time, through the legal form "activation" of the social rescue fund for road traffic accidents, and give the road traffic accident social rescue fund management institutions to the right to recover the person responsible for the traffic accident, the "tort liability act" shine, popular.

The provisions of this article "can't get ideas" patients or their close relatives, mainly refers to patients can not express the will, no close relatives to accompany, but also not to close relatives, not including the patient or his close relatives expressly refused to take care of.
In judicial practice, in 2007 November, working in Beijing Li Liyun pregnant women dystocia, dying, her boyfriend Xiao Zhijun refused in operation of single sign on, the doctor and the nurse be at a loss what to do, everybody of maternal deaths, 3 hours later, unable to agree on which is right."The human nature" of the tort liability law clauses, will give the medical institutions more critically ill patient rights, not only to solve a dilemma at present of medical disputes, and protect the lawful rights and interests of patients.

In judicial practice, because of lack of clear legal provisions, in patients with impaired, the relevant units passing each other, result in everywhere, rights not."Tort liability act" stipulates patients can not only to producers or institutions to claim compensation, may request compensation from the medical institution; at the same time, if the patient seeks compensation from the medical institution, the medical institution shall have the right to compensation, the responsible producers or institutions from.

The protection of privacy, is each natural person as a basic right should enjoy the subject of civil rights, it is universal, not only exists in the doctor-patient relationship.However, the reality of the particularity of contradiction between doctors and patients in medical disputes and the current based on this method, special provisions were made for this kind of privacy protection special problem, make the patient advocacy with the legal support.
Medical institutions and medical personnel has two kinds of forms of patient privacy infringement; one is leaking patients privacy.Both medical institutions and medical personnel will be personal privacy information in the course of diagnosis and treatment of patients, released, disclosure behavior, such as external dispersion in patients with hepatitis B, AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, a flow of facts, resulting in the privacy of the patient is exposed, the spirit of great suffering; also includes without patient consent and patient the body is exposed to diagnosis and treatment activities irrelevant personnel behavior.
Two untreated patients consents to the disclosure of medical records.Patients in the treatment process, usually with the medical staff inquiries, stating their condition, medical history, symptoms and so on a series of private information, in conjunction with the diagnosis and treatment of medical personnel; at the same time, the medical staff will be based on the patient's statement, the partial information of medical records were formed.Once a patient privacy this part of medical record information disclosure, not only cause patients to mental pain, but also leads to the decrease of the evaluation of patients with society, such as some kind of mental defect, patients suffered from the disease be destructive to the morals.
In the judicial practice, a lot of doctor-patient dispute originates from the patient privacy is not proper disclosure, such as some parts of the gynecological examination allows interns, unmarried women do stream of people to observe the operation by events intern collective observation and other, make the patient is very embarrassing, and even to court.
As the "heal the wounded and rescue the dying, treatment and prevention of" medical personnel, to provide medical services to the patients at the same time, we should adhere to the "medical practitioners law", "tort liability act" and "medical records management regulations" the relevant provisions, improve the medical level and occupation moral, no unauthorized disclosure of privacy and the patient's medical records, to maximize the protection of patients privacy.
Fourteen, patients as consumers, excessive examination is not desirable
"Tort liability law" sixty-third stipulates that: "the medical institutions and medical personnel shall not conduct unnecessary examinations in violation of rules of diagnosis and treatment."
This article is about the medical institutions and medical personnel shall not conduct unnecessary examinations in violation of the standard of diagnosis and treatment.
Unnecessary examination, also is the media and the public pay more attention to the "excessive examination"."Excessive examination" first in the normative documents, is formulated jointly by the Ministry of health and the State Administration of traditional Chinese medicine "in 2006 on the establishment of long-term mechanism to avoid bribe in medical field work program".
"Excessive examination", is provided by medical institutions of medical examination service beyond the individual and social care practice needs of patients, medical ethics scholars called it "excessive examination".
"Excessive examination" is not only relates to the medical institutions and medical personnel treatment of the problem, but also a complicated social problem solving, ultimately depends on the reform of China's medical and health system and the establishment of medical and health security system.
Medical institutions and medical personnel in order to make money, forcing patients to unnecessary inspection, Dazhi disease, not only to give patients caused heavy economic burden, but also leads to unnecessary risks and damage to the body."Harbin sky high price of medical fee event", is a typical "excessive examination".
In judicial practice, patients should be to the medical staff to understand the relevant examination project and cost in medical treatment, and to distinguish between what is necessary to check, which is not checked, for unnecessary tests, patients have the right to refuse; if the patient accept the inspection, shall obtain, retain the relevant charges certificate inspection items.If disputes arise, the rationality of the judicial authentication institutions can apply to the court to entrust to medical expenses of the screening, identification.
Fifteen, medical behavior should stop, rational adults welcome
"Tort liability law" sixty-fourth stipulates that: "the medical institutions and medical personnel's legitimate rights and interests protected by law.Interference with medical order, obstruction of medical staff, life, shall bear legal liability in accordance with the law."
This article is about the maintenance of the medical institutions and medical personnel's legitimate rights and interests.
Diagnosis and treatment is a "double-edged sword", if the patient All is well., rehabilitation hospital, the patients and their families will be grateful for the doctor, once the patients with critical illness or even death, family members of patients think doctors don't make all-out efforts, the final and then become enemies with each other.
So, medical institutions and medical personnel should not only consider the patient as in the protection of the interests of the weaker party clinic activities, is responsible to the patient, should inform the medical risk, patient with medical activities; on the other hand, due to the limitations, the unknown and the high risk of the treatment of the patients and their families, medical coping mechanism and medical personnel to give a certain degree of trust and understanding, calm, pay attention to the preservation of the evidence, legal rights, but not without interference with medical order, affect the normal work, life of the medical staff.
In judicial practice, due to the lack of trust between doctors and patients to reach an agreement through consultation, to.The problem with applying for medical damage identification of high cost, long time, litigation, litigation is difficult, both patients and medical institutions, are not willing to compromise and to resolve through legal channels.Patients and their families a "make medicine", "make visit", and even the threat of medical institutions, insult, beating the medical personnel and other excesses."Occupation were" emerge as the times require, there were death, disability, they go to their families to talk about, "to take the business", the medical institution is passive.In order to make concessions to avoid trouble, can only swallow insult and humiliation silently, "peace", which also contributed to the families of patients with invisible "make medicine", "make visit" psychological tendency, cause different degrees of burden for medical institutions.
"Tort liability law" sixty-fifth stipulates: "the harm is caused by environmental pollution, the polluter shall bear tort liability.

Because of the pollution damage to the environment in general is long-term, latent, persistent and extensive features, process and environmental pollution damage is complex, some environmental pollution damage involves a series of physical, chemical, biological, geographical and medical professional knowledge and technology, but also, in determining the causal relationship, a fruit of phenomenon......Because of the particularity of environmental pollution tort, causality cause pollution of the environment is very complex.
Therefore, environmental pollution disputes, the polluter shall and behavior law does not assume liability or mitigation of liability and the harm has not bear the burden of proof causality.
Rule sixty-seventh: "two or more polluters pollution of the environment, pollution degree of liability is determined according to the factors, types of pollutants, emissions."
In a certain period of time, space, may appear on a joint sewage pollution behavior may exceed the environmental capacity and environmental self purification capacity, environmental pollution causes damage to the victim, the victim liability between multiple polluters size is determined according to the factors, types of pollutants, emissions, for the polluter also, relatively fair, reasonable.
Rule sixty-eighth: "third party damage caused by pollution of the environment, the victim may require a compensation from the polluter, may request compensation from the third person.Polluters to pay, have the right to claim compensation from the third person."
Third people's fault, refers to besides pollution and infringement of third people, has the fault of the victim damage, the fault includes intention and negligence.The provisions of this article is the cleavage damages caused by environmental pollution is caused by the fault of the third person, the problem of how to bear the responsibility.
