Abstract

This paper analyzes the principle of prohibiting the causing of damage (by virtue of Article 8 of the Croatian Obligations Act of 2005) in light of the objective according to which any injured party who without fault suffers damage receives actual (real, realistic) damages. The result of this analysis shows that this objective is not easy to achieve due to a number of reasons. A possible solution lies in further modernization (Europeanization) and partially in the creation of the so called guarantee funds which would assist injured parties. Although it is true that Croatian tort law is not miles away from European tort law, there is still ample room for improvement.
