Practical application of the public liability mechanism in the form of court rulings is measured by the number of first-instance court rulings in public liability cases per 100 000 inhabitants in the latest full calendar year. This calculation also includes cases resolved amicably (in a settlement between the state authority and the affected party) and approved by court ruling, if applicable. If there are no public liability cases, it is considered evidence that the public liability regime is not functioning and no points are awarded. Point allocation: • 3 points = more than 1 • 2 points = 0.6-1 • 1 point = 0.1-0.5 • 0 points = less than 0.1, or no reliable data is available
