אחריות ביחד ולחוד
הנהג נסע במהירות מופרזת והעירייה לא הציבה שלט "עצור" בצומת המסוכנת, לכן הנהג והעירייה יהיו אחראים ביחד ולחוד לפצות את הניזוק בתאונת הדרכים. (I'm a law student)
ריבוי מעוולים
יוצא מכך, כי חיובו של מבטח אחד להשיב דמי השתתפות למבטח אחר בגין ביטוח כפל הינו זכות שביושר והוא זהה במהותו לחיוב הקיים בין שני מעוולים במקרה של מעוולים ביחד ולחוד. במקרים (Court info Israeli govnmt.)
| jointly and severally is "ביחד ולחוד". The legal terms means that torteasors share liability together and separately. If tortfeasor A is liable 20% and B is liable 80% the injured may requst the full amount from either A or B then they can get reimbursed. This is the legal point of jointly and severally. However, your translation was "ריבוי מעוולים" which literally means "multiple tortfeasors" and as such does is not accurate. It merely means that there is more than one tortfeasor. The legal difinition of Jointly and Severally makes big difference. |
