Abstract

Rad se bavi razlikovanjem više sile i slučaja te prati razvoj ovih instituta od rimskog prava do modernih shvaćanja hrvatskih sudova. Sustavna analiza razvoja počinje osnovnim pojmovima odgovornosti za štetu, posebno naglašavajući objektivnu odgovornost koja je ključ razumijeva-nja važnosti ovoga rada. Zaron u kompleksnosti rimskoga prava donio je mnoga pitanja od ko-jih se posebno osvrće na custodiju kao ishodišnu točku te pauperies i akvilijansku odgovornost kao intrigantne poveznice na temu ovoga rada. Posebno se kritički osvrće na etimološku neuje-dnačenost latinskih izraza casus, casus minor i casus fortutitus koja zahtijeva rekapitulaciju i daljnju komparaciju prikupljenih izvora kako bi se temeljito utvrdilo radi li se o slučaju ili višoj sili. Kritizira uvođenje novog dogmatskog pojma casus medius kao nepotrebnog argumentiraju-ći svoja zapažanja navodima svjetskih autoriteta iz područja romanistike. Na kraju analizirajući praksu hrvatskih sudova, dolazimo do zaključka kako suvremeni sudovi mnogo oštrije postav-ljaju granice više sile negoli su to činili rimski pravnici pritom upozoravajući na tisućljetni razvoj društva, tehnologije i pravne znanosti.

Abstract (english)

This paper addresses the distinction between force majeure and fortuitous events, tracing the development of these concepts from Roman law to contemporary interpretations by Croatian courts. The systematic analysis begins with the fundamental concepts of liability for damages, particularly emphasizing strict liability, which is crucial for understanding the importance of this work. A deep dive into the complexities of Roman law has raised numerous questions, notably focusing on custodial liability as the starting point, as well as pauperies and Aquilian liability as intriguing connections to the subject of this paper. Special attention is given to the etymological inconsistency of the Latin terms casus, casus minor, and casus fortuitus, necessitating a review and further comparison of collected sources to thoroughly determine whether it pertains to a fortuitous event or force majeure. The introduction of a new dogmatic concept, casus medius, is criticized as unnecessary, with observations supported by references to global authorities in the field of Roman law. Finally, an analysis of the practice of Croatian courts leads to the conclusi-on that contemporary courts set much stricter boundaries for force majeure than Roman jurists did, highlighting the millennia-long development of society, technology, and legal science.
