To date, the TI (tobacco industry), both nationally and internationally, has been liable under civil law: individual citizens litigated against the TI. The TI was held liable for the health damage caused by tobacco products. This has regularly resulted in claims upheld by judges. On many occasions the parties reached a settlement during the proceedings in the form of substantial compensation, after which the proceedings instigated by the citizen against the TI were abandoned. The approach now is different. We believe that the TI should not be able to get off with a guilty verdict in which civil liability is determined, but that the TI must –eventually- be confronted with the verdict of a criminal judge who determines that the TI has committed a criminal offence by producing and supplying a tobacco product.
