The topic is of particular interest for insurers as compensation for loss of housekeeping capacity is one of the main heads of damages awarded for personal injury. Naturally it also has considerable importance for accident victims. Yet it has received relatively little scholarly attention, at least from a comparative perspective.
The aim of this study is to examine national approaches to the award of damages under the head of loss of housekeeping capacity, and to compare the levels of damages so awarded. The research will therefore address both the concepts employed in different national systems and, by means of practical case studies, the compensation actually paid in individual cases.
The results of the research comprise ten country reports (Austria, England and Wales, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain and Switzerland) based on a Questionnaire (Part I: General Part and Doctrine, Part II: Concrete Assessment Examples) and a concluding Comparative Report.
This project, "Loss of Housekeeping Capacity", was undertaken at the request of the Swiss Insurance Association.

Boards show minor indentations to edges. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This legal study, commissioned by the Swiss Insurance Association, examines how various European legal systems compensate victims for the loss of housekeeping capacity following a personal injury. This "head of damage" covers the inability of an injured person to perform domestic tasks - such as cooking, cleaning, or childcare - and is a major component of insurance settlements. The book uses a comparative approach to determine how different nations value "unpaid" domestic work compared to "paid" employment. Country Reports: It provides detailed analyses of ten jurisdictions: Austria, England and Wales, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, and Switzerland. Questionnaire-Based Research: Each report follows a standardised questionnaire that covers legal doctrine (the theoretical basis for claims) and concrete assessment examples. Practical Case Studies: To highlight discrepancies in compensation, the book includes case studies that calculate the actual damages paid out in individual scenarios across different countries. Comparative Synthesis: A concluding report by editors synthesises these findings, comparing concepts like the "hourly rate" for help, the rights of family members to claim, and whether compensation is paid as a lump sum or an annuity. Key Legal Questions Addressed: Monetary Valuation: How should the law calculate the value of domestic chores? Should it be based on the cost of hiring a professional replacement or the "opportunity cost" of the victim's time? Primary vs. Secondary Victims: Does the right to compensation belong only to the injured person, or can their spouse or partner also claim for the extra burden they must now shoulder? Gratuitous Assistance: Should a tortfeasor (the person at fault) pay less if the victim's relatives provide "free" help during recovery? N° de réf. du vendeur 012939
