This book explores the historical foundations of holding public
authorities accountable for their acts, and discusses how and why
the idea that the state should or should not be held liable became
established in three significant jurisdictions. The issue of state
liability for legislative acts is considered one of the most
difficult and controversial problems in jurisprudence. This book
analyses the development of concepts and institutions of liability
for the acts of legislator pertaining to the general principles of
state liability until the mid-20th century in the leading European
legal systems: Germany, France and Great Britain. It is shown that,
in contrast to the prevailing conviction, the lack of liability for
law-making instruments was not an unassailable dogma, and that
questions as to whether such liability was possible were being
asked from the Middle Ages onwards. The book will be a valuable
resource for academics and researchers in the areas of
Constitutional Law, Public Law, History of Law, History of Legal
and Political Thought, Philosophy of Law, and Comparative Legal
Studies.
