Karsten Schneider, Bonn: †ber die Mšglichkeit einer wertungsunabhŠngigen Unterscheidung zwischen Gefahr, Risiko und Restrisiko

 

Abstract: How can we distinguish between danger, risk and residual risk? The classic answer hereto is based on the epistemological model of induction: induction is the principle that leads courts to make the decisions they do. In the terms of this concept, risks are interpreted as probabilities. This approach has law application depend on the judgeÕs individual decisions in a specific case. It is, however, possible to find a different set of criteria in order to differentiate between danger, risk and residual risk: A deductive approach combined with the ãassessment of theoriesÒ in comparative terms enables us to apply law without having to resort to individual decisions or value judgements. In this context, Karl PopperÕs ãtheory of corroborationÒ offers a new perspective on legal reasoning under conditions of uncertainty.
