Extra-contractual Rules and Third-party Rights of Direct Action: The Court of Justice Defines Claimants' Rights and Insurers' Obligations in Motor Vehicle Agreements
Marson, James; Ferris, Katy
Abstract
AR v Others is a Polish reference to the Court of Justice centering on the application of Directive 2009/103/EC, the sixth and consolidated Motor Vehicle Insurance Directive (MVID), and the obligations therein regarding insurers' liability to third-party victims. To ensure that persons suffering injury (third-parties) in motor vehicle accidents are provided with minimum standards of protection, the MVID regulates the compulsory motor vehicle insurance regime throughout the EU. This judgment is significant for two reasons. First, it identifies the scope of extra-contractual clauses permitted in the laws of Member States which affect the remedies of third-party victims of motor vehicle accidents. Secondly it, for the first time, defines the scope of the direct right of action of a third-party against the insurer of a driver who caused the damage (a right introduced by the Fourth MVID (2000/26)). 1 As a final, albeit perhaps more discursive contribution but one which we find profoundly important, it confirms the Court's decision in Linea Directa regarding when a vehicle is in * Sheffield Hallam University.
