“FUNDS” IN CASE OF MASS TORTS: SOLIDARITY, EFFICIENCY, OR JUST A FICTION?

Abstract

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, mass tort funds are becoming increasingly important as a form of compensation for civil liability. This quick and easy access solution must be duly regulated to preserve the general and specific aspects of the application of this figure. For this reason, this article focuses on the analysis of mass tort funds for their possible effectiveness in responding to the damage caused by the Covid-19 pandemic to fill the gaps in civil liability through a conceptual, doctrinal, and normative study. What is important is that they do not become tools for escaping liability. Keywords: civil law, civil liability, legal status, contract law, agreements.
