英文摘要 |
This essay focuses on the application of « la responsabilité du service public sans faute » (liability without fault of public service) to the damages arising from the construction of public works and the existence of public entities for public utilities in French administrative jurisprudence, and reflects on the « liability for defects in public entities for public utilities » under Article 3 of the revised State Compensation Law of Taiwan. The author agrees with the conclusion of the revision, nonetheless, in the case of public entities for public utilities owned by public utility enterprises, the relevant provision of the State Property Law has not been taken into account during the process of revision, resulting in inconsistencies between the two. Plus, the author considers the existing Article 3 of the State Compensation Law, inherited from the Japanese law, be only the tip of the iceberg of state liabilities arising from public entities for public utilities. Particularly, the author suggests that a generalised clause on the right to claim compensation for damages be created from the disputed article in order to implement the state’s obligation to protect the fundamental rights without any omission. |
