The legal responsible person is responsible for deliberate and negligently caused damage with the cared for one, if this presents itself as obligation injury (BGB i.V.m. "ยง 1908i exp. 1 BGB). Opposite other persons the responsible person has in principle no official duties.

The compensation sayings can be raised

  • of the cared for one, if it is not incapacitated (a consent reservation might not be able itself to extend naturally to requirements against the responsible person);
  • of one of the cared for authorized person (e.g. a lawyer);
  • of an auxiliary responsible person (after exp. 4 BGB), whose only field of duties contains the examination of any obligation adversities and asserting of claims for damages;
  • of late ordered responsible person, who has to make also claims for damages valid against a former responsible person with the field of duties fortune concern (yet did not fall under the statute of limitations). This applies in particular in the case, in which the former responsible person became to dismiss because of obligation adversities;
  • of an inheriting of the deceased cared for as its legal successors.

For the responsible person, above all the right-unaquainted honorary responsible person, however easements are to be held of benefit, itself from special conditions of its life circle devoted (BGH FamRZ 1964, 199). It may rely also in principle on a right advice of the court of guardianship in accordance with exp. 1 BGB.

With an occupation responsible person one can expect however usually that he knows the legal bases of his activity and if necessary able is to be opened the information necessary for its work if necessary by recourse to of the different consulting possibilities, in addition, by advanced training and own literature search (e.g. OLG two-bridges FGPrax 2004, 75 = FamRZ 2004, 422 = Rpfleger 2004, 422). In addition with obligation injuries no adhesion easements will be granted to vocational responsible persons, to sometimes legally inexperienced honorary responsible persons, e.g. in handling social security benefit carriers will be granted (e.g. OLG Schleswig, FamRZ 1997, 1427 = NJWE FER 1997, 105).

Damage can result also from omitting necessary actions

Damage by omitting can lead to the adhesion if the responsible person had had to act for the protection of the responsible person. Examples would be missing of request periods, e.g. with the freiwilligen health insurance or with deflecting an insolvent inheritance of the cared for one.

In principle no obligations opposite third

The responsible person has in principle only obligations opposite the cared for one (BGB). It must with its activity in principle no consideration for the interests third (landlord, authorities etc.) takes (BGH BtPrax 1995, 103 = FamRZ 1995, 282). However the Federal High Court in an earlier judgement decided that with treaty negotiations for particularly dangerous cared for ones extreme a risk may not be put on to contracting parties (BGH, NJW 1987, 2664 = FamRZ 1987, 904).

In the social welfare assistance right the responsible person has beyond that the sociallegal obligations to cooperate (social legislation i). It must e.g. acquisitions of property (donations, inheritances). It can be obligated under certain circumstances when concealing important data themselves to the payment of damages (social legislation - XII).

In the tax law the responsible person has the tax declaration obligations of the cared for one (tax code). If it hurts this obligation deliberately or roughly negligently, it also clings in relation to the tax office (tax code).
