Dr Marnix Hebly participated in an episode of the podcast AboutLaw on May 26, 2020. In this podcast, he speaks about his dissertation 'Damage assessment and time', which he defended in Rotterdam in June 2019.
Compensation for damages aims to place the injured party in the position in which he would have been as much as possible without the event occurred. That event can be the cause of all kinds of factual developments that gradually unfold as time goes on. What facts and circumstances must the judge take into account? When does his opinion count as decisive?
In the podcast, Hebly discusses the central theme of his dissertation using various practical examples. He explains, among other things, property damage, personal injury and "company damage" (loss of business profit), and also discusses the current problems of the depreciation of homes due to earthquakes in Groningen.
