Legal Security in the Field of Conflict of Laws -A Study in Tort Liability-

Abstract

Legal security, as a principle, requires the legal rules to be clear, as the provisions should not contradict the expectation of how it is formed in the written text. They must cover all relationships, including international private relations. Moreover, they must include the rules for conflict of laws that concern the harmful act of tort liability. Despite the stability of many legislation and judicial solutions on enforcing the local law as it is in line with the expectations of individuals who are considered to be one of the pillars of legal security, there are those who tried to rebel against this principle by criticizing the conflict approach in itself and giving other solutions with the possibility of risking and compromising the expectations of individuals.
