摘要:This article addresses the issue of determining the proper parties in a tort liability case arising as a result of inflicting harm. The author examines problematic issues related to the liability of legitimate and illegitimate owners of transport vehicles. In conclusion, the author notes that the use of such an evaluative concept as gross negligence as a requirement in determining the size of redress awarded to the victim does not testify to the indefiniteness of the content of this rule, for the diversity of circumstances that allow for the possibility of reducing the size of redress or denying the claim makes it impossible to establish their exhaustive list within the law, while the legislator’s use of such an evaluative characteristic pursues the goal of the effective application of the rule to an unlimited number of specific legal situations.
