50-percent rule

Read a random definition: nova causa obligationis

A quick definition of 50-percent rule:

The 50-percent rule is a principle that determines how much responsibility each person has in a situation where someone is hurt or something is damaged. It means that the amount of fault is divided based on the percentage of responsibility each person has. If someone is found to be more than 50% responsible, they cannot receive any compensation. If someone is found to be less than 50% responsible, they will receive compensation, but it will be reduced based on their percentage of fault. This is also called the modified-comparative-negligence doctrine.

A more thorough explanation:

The 50-percent rule is a legal principle that determines the liability for negligence in a lawsuit. It states that the responsibility for damages caused by negligence is divided among the parties involved based on the percentage of fault assigned to each party.

For example, if a car accident occurs and the court determines that the plaintiff is 30% responsible for the accident, and the defendant is 70% responsible, the plaintiff can only recover 70% of the damages. However, if the plaintiff is found to be 50% or more responsible for the accident, they cannot recover any damages.

The 50-percent rule is also known as the modified-comparative-negligence doctrine. It is different from the pure-comparative-negligence doctrine, which allows the plaintiff to recover damages even if they are more than 50% responsible for the accident.

Overall, the 50-percent rule is a way to ensure that each party is held accountable for their share of the responsibility in a negligence case.
