Supreme court on liability for road conditions.

19-10-2016

The Dutch Supreme Court recently decided that the authority responsible for the (maintenance) of the road has no risk liability for objects that are placed on the road, but do not form part thereof.

In that case the standard liability rules apply, which are further explained by the Supreme Court in its decision.

For more information see the decision in Dutch.

The victim was assisted before the Supreme Court by Niels van Steijn.
