3 Introduction Richard Susskind, The Future of Law: While legal problem solving will not be eliminated in tomorrow s legal paradigm, it will nonetheless diminish markedly in significance. The emphasis will shift towards legal risk management supported by proactive facilities, which will be available in the form of legal information services and procedures. As citizen learn to seek legal guidance more regularly and earlier than in the past, many potential legal difficulties will be dissolved before needing to be resolved. Where legal problems of today are often symptomatic of delayed legal input, earlier consultation should result in users understanding and identifying their risk and controlling them before any questions of escalation.

16 A real-life example
17 A real-life example: SAP Risk Nr. Event Effect on Legal sources Likelihood Consequence Risk value 1 Product defect claims SAP results Contract ProdHG BGB Unlikely Significant Medium
18 Risk description I (uncertainty about facts) Risk title (SAP: product risk ) Risk of actual or alleged failures of our software products and services. Description of facts/events New products and product enhancements may still contain undetected errors when they are first released. As a result, it is feasible that certain customers may bring claims in certain cases for cash refunds, damages, replacement software, or other concessions. SAP software products are chiefly used by customers in business-critical applications and processes. Source: SAP, IFRS FINANCIAL REPORTS (2007), p
19 Risk description II (uncertainty about legal norms) Description of the law/contract Our contractual agreements generally contain provisions designed to limit SAP s exposure to warranty-related risks. However, these provisions may not cover every eventuality or be entirely effective under applicable law. Source: SAP, IFRS FINANCIAL REPORTS (2007), p
20 Risk description III (effect & estimation) Effect on SAP s objectives Such claims could adversely affect our assets, finances, income, and reputation. Risk estimation We believe it is unlikely that our planned results will be significantly impaired by product defect claims from SAP customers. Source: SAP, IFRS FINANCIAL REPORTS (2007), p
21 Risk description IV (treatment) We counter these risks with thorough project management, project monitoring, rigid and regular quality assurance measures certified according to ISO 9001, and program risk assessments during product development. AND CONTRACTUAL MEASURES Source: SAP, IFRS FINANCIAL REPORTS (2007), p
22 Risk description V (monitoring) The generally high quality of our products is confirmed by our low customer escalation handling expenses (as described in the Project Risks section), the low rate of litigation arising against us out of our regular operations, and our constantly high customer satisfaction ratings as measured by regular customer surveys. Source: SAP, IFRS FINANCIAL REPORTS (2007), p
23 Graphical modelling of legal risk
24 Why visualisation? The graphical language Communication Analysis Expressiveness Usability Comprehensibility Risk Legal reasoning 24
25 Facts lead to risk There is a major undetected defect in a software release (possible) Defect has measurable negative consequences for purchaser (possible) Software provider pays for consequences of claimed product defect Effect on financial results Unlikely Major Medium risk 25
26 Legal norms contribute to risk BGB Sections 437 nr. 3; 280 I Software seller is obligated to pay damages to purchaser for the consequences of a defect. (Depends on whether the software seller knew or should have known about the defect) 2. Software sales contract The software seller is not liable for the consequences of defects, except in cases of gross negligence. (Is this entirely valid and does it cover all cases?) Defect has measurable negative consequences for purchaser (possible) 1. Software provider pays for consequences of claimed product defect Effect on financial results Unlikely Major Medium risk 26
27 Different types of norms Norm proposition Deontic Conceptual Obligation Prohibition Permission No obligation Power Qualification 27
28 Visualisation of initial example BGB Section 434 Does this count as a defect in the sense of the law? (Depends on whether the software purchaser can expect software which is free from such errors) BGB Sections 437 nr. 3; 280 I Software seller is obligated to pay damages to purchaser for the consequences of a defect. (Depends on whether the software seller knew or should have known about the defect) Software sales contract The software seller is not liable for the consequences of defects, except in cases of gross negligence. (Is this entirely valid and does it cover all cases?) There is a major undetected defect in a software release (possible) Defect has measurable negative consequences for purchaser (possible) Software provider pays for consequences of claimed product defect Effect on financial results Unlikely Major Medium risk 28
29 Concluding remarks Visualisation was used in large-scale industrial case study Risk management can be applied in a legal context, but only as a complement to existing methods 29
