The new edition of European Tort Law provides an extensive revision
and update of the only English language handbook in this constantly
evolving area. The coverage in the new edition has been expanded
with material on the latest developments in legislation, legal
literature, and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights,
the Court of Justice of the European Union, and the highest courts
in France, Germany, and England.
The first part of the book, Systems of Liability, provides chapters
on the state of tort law in France, Germany, and England, and the
European Union. A concluding chapter gives an overall view of the
European field, linking the variety of rules with cultural
diversity, examining the consequences for European harmonization,
and emphasizing the importance of a European policy discourse.
The second part, Requirements for Liability, analyses and compares
the classic requirements for liability in a comparative and
supranational perspective: rights and protected interests,
intention and negligence, breach of statutory duty, stricter rules
of liability, causation, damage, damages, and contributory
negligence. It also discusses the role of tort law in protecting
human rights against violations by the state and by multinational
corporations.
The final part, Categories of Liability, assesses how national and
supranational rules are applied in a number of categories, such as
in liability for motor vehicles, defective products, and defective
premises, in liability for children, employees, and subsidiaries,
as well as in cases of nuisance, environmental liability, and
liability of public bodies.
