  • ICRC Duty of Care: Elements of Definition
    ICRC Duty of Care: elements of definition Definition “Duty of care” (DoC) is a legal concept that comes from common law and can be defined as a legal obligation requiring adherence to a standard of reasonable care while performing any acts that could foreseeably harm others. Another definition of DoC would be a legal obligation to act towards others with prudence and vigilance in order to prevent any risk of foreseeable damage. The (legal) consequence of a breach of such a duty is a legal liability imposed upon the author (of the breach) to compensate the victim for any losses they incur. DoC entails an obligation of means (obligation de moyens) as opposed to an obligation of result (obligation de résultat). This means that the author must take all appropriate measures and behave in an appropriate way in order to avoid causing harm to third parties. This being said, the fact that harm is done does not necessarily mean that the duty of care was breached (or, in other words that the author was negligent), as certain events are beyond the control of the author (because they were unforeseeable or unavoidable despite proper care being taken). The ICRC’s DoC obligations towards the defined population hence depend on the nature of the relationship between the ICRC and the concerned population (employees, accompanying dependents, Movement partners, external contractual partners) and the relevant (legal and contractual) provisions applicable to such relationship. Content The actual measure, scope or content of the “care” that is required in each situation depends primarily on two factors: (i) the relationship between the parties and (ii) the applicable law.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. THE LEGAL DUTY OF A COLLEGE ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT TO ATHLETES WITH EATING DISORDERS: A RISK MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE BARBARA BIcKFoRD* I. INTRODUCTION In virtually every college athletics department across the United States, there is an athlete with an eating disorder engaged in intercollegi- ate competition. Progressively larger proportions of eating disordered women have been identified in the general population and in college student populations, and they clearly have an analogue in the athletic sphere.' Knowledge of eating disorders in athletics populations has ex- isted for almost twenty years, yet many colleges and universities seem to be ignoring the problem.2 Eating disorders are a serious health threat that require prompt medical attention. Colleges may owe some duty of care to their athletes, in fact a college that ignores eating disorders may be negligent. To prevent legal liability, colleges and universities must educate their employees to be aware of and recognize symptoms of eating disorders, create a plan for interven- tion and treatment or referral, and engage in preventative education.

    U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation Office of Disability, Aging and Long-Term Care Policy COMMUNITY SERVICES AND LONG-TERM CARE: ISSUES OF NEGLIGENCE AND LIABILITY 1982 Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) is the principal advisor to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on policy development issues, and is responsible for major activities in the areas of legislative and budget development, strategic planning, policy research and evaluation, and economic analysis. ASPE develops or reviews issues from the viewpoint of the Secretary, providing a perspective that is broader in scope than the specific focus of the various operating agencies. ASPE also works closely with the HHS operating divisions. It assists these agencies in developing policies, and planning policy research, evaluation and data collection within broad HHS and administration initiatives. ASPE often serves a coordinating role for crosscutting policy and administrative activities. ASPE plans and conducts evaluations and research--both in-house and through support of projects by external researchers--of current and proposed programs and topics of particular interest to the Secretary, the Administration and the Congress. Office of Disability, Aging and Long-Term Care Policy The Office of Disability, Aging and Long-Term Care Policy (DALTCP), within ASPE, is responsible for the development, coordination, analysis, research and evaluation of HHS policies and programs which support the independence, health and long-term care of persons with disabilities--children, working aging adults, and older persons.

  • Establishing a Governmental Duty of Care for Climate Change Mitigation: Will Urgenda Turn the Tide?
    Establishing A Governmental Duty of Care for Climate Change Mitigation: Will Urgenda Turn the Tide? Josephine van Zeben* [forthcoming Transnational Environmental Law, 2015] Abstract Liability for causing or failing to mitigate climate change has long been proposed as an alternative, or backstop, to lagging international cooperation. Thus far, there has been very limited success in holding governments or individuals responsible for the emission of the greenhouse gasses that are considered the primary cause of anthropogenic climate change. The recent landmark decision in Urgenda Foundation v. Government of the Netherlands (Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment) breaks with this tradition. In June 2015, the Dutch District Court (The Hague) held that the current climate policies of the government are not sufficiently ambitious for it to fulfill its duty of care towards Dutch society. The judgment, and the accompanying order for the government to adopt stricter greenhouse gas reduction policies, raises important questions about the future of climate change liability litigation, the separation of powers between judiciary and legislature, and the effect of litigation on international climate change negotiation and cooperation. Keywords: mitigation, liability, international climate policy, injunctive relief, separation of powers, climate change litigation 1. Introduction Small as it is, the continued existence of the Kingdom of the Netherlands represents a sizeable victory of willpower and engineering over the natural environment. The Dutch have had to accommodate an ever-growing population and its material demands within the territorial limits of their Kingdom, starting with – but not limited to – an ongoing battle with the water that frequently tries to reclaim large parts of the Netherlands.

  • The Hidden Legacy of Palsgraf: Modern Duty Law in Microcosm
    THE HIDDEN LEGACY OF PALSGRAF: MODERN DUTY LAW IN MICROCOSM W. JONATHAN CARDI∗ INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................. 1874 I. IS DUTY RELATIONAL OR ACT-CENTERED? ...................................... 1875 II. IS PLAINTIFF-FORESEEABILITY A DUTY INQUIRY OR AN ASPECT OF PROXIMATE CAUSE? .......................................................................... 1890 III. IS A COURT OR JURY THE PROPER ARBITER OF FORESEEABILITY? ... 1898 CONCLUSION ................................................................................................. 1913 The elements of the debate between Judges Cardozo and Andrews in Palsgraf are canonical: (1) What is the nature of duty – is it relational or act- centered? (2) Is plaintiff-foreseeability a duty inquiry or an aspect of proximate cause? (3) Is a court or a jury the proper arbiter of foreseeability? An exhaustive examination of the case law on these questions reveals a deep disconnect between what most of us learned in law school and what is playing out in modern courts. Close scrutiny of Palsgraf’s present-day incarnations also lends an invaluable bird’s-eye view of duty law, an area so rife with inconsistency and contradiction that it often bears more resemblance to constitutional law than to the quintessential common-law doctrine that we expect from tort cases. This Article melds the doctrinal with the theoretical. It is the first comprehensive survey of Palsgraf since Prosser’s Palsgraf Revisited in 1953, and it is also a bottom-up
