Secondary Liability of Internet Intermediaries and Safe Harbours under Croatian Law

The issue of civil liability of Internet intermediaries1 for content placed on the Internet by users of their services is still largely unsettled in Croatian law. Lacking a specific provision on secondary liability, the Croatian courts are seeking ways to address this issue under existing legal rules. As will be seen below, from the described developments in scarce case law, this is a challenging process given that these legal rules were not drafted in view of recent technological advances and business models. This chapter attempts to clarify the legal status of Internet intermediaries by discussing various issues arising in searching for the legal basis of their secondary liability and the effort to define the scope of the safe harbour for intermediaries.
