ISSUES RELATED TO THE APPEARANCE, EVOLUTION, FUNCTIONS AND UTILITY OF THE LEGAL EXPENSES INSURANCE CONTRACTS, ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION’S STATES
Journal Title: Challenges of the knowledge society ( Provocari ale societatii cunoasterii ) - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 11
Abstract
This report aims to provide a concise comparative analysis of the features of legal expenses insurance (also known as insurance for legal protection or LEI), that can be found and have been adopted in several European jurisdictions (France, England and Wales, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Finland etc), as well as in other law systems (Australia and Japan). We are studying the reasons that led to the implementation of this instrument in each jurisdiction, the evolution of its use and spread and, also, its effect on counteracting the shortcomings of the systems of justice fees and legal aid, resulting in providing access to justice, as a part of the right to a fair trial, as it is guaranteed by art.6 par.1 of the ECHR.
