Claim for payment of sum insured for death of seaman : [case review]

Zahtjev tužiteljica (supruge i kćerke pokojnog pomorca) za isplatu iznosa osiguranja za slučaj smrti pomorca, temeljem ugovora o radu, predstavlja zahtjev za ispunjenje ugovorne obveze. Znači, ne radi se se o izvanugovornoj odgovornosti nego o isplati ugovorenog iznosa osiguranja tužiteljicama, kao ugovornoj odgovornosti tuženika preuzetoj ugovorom o radu sklopljenim s pokojnim pomorcem, koji u sebi uključuje i odredbe ugovora o osiguranju.The claim made by plaintiffs (wife and daughter of the late seaman) against the defendant for payment of the sum insured for death of seaman on the basis of the employment contract concluded with the defendant represents a claim for fulfillment of a contractual obligation.
