Abstract

The BEST-project (BATNA Establishment using Semantic web Technology, http://best-project.nl) strives to provide disputing parties with information about their legal position in a liability case. Our assumption is that through intelligent disclosure of Dutch Tort Law cases, laymen can estimate their chances: information derived from previous court decisions can help to obtain insight into BATNAs (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement), alternatives a party has if negotiation fails. Information BATNAs also contributes to determining the room left for negotiation.
