The focus of the essays in this book is on the relationship between
compensation culture, social values and tort damages for personal
injuries. A central concern of the public and political perception
of personal injuries claims is the high cost of tort claims to
society, reflected in insurance premiums, often accompanied by an
assumption that tort law and practice is flawed and improperly
raising such costs. The aims of this collection are to first
clarify the relationship between tort damages for personal injuries
and the social values that the law seeks to reflect and to balance,
then to critically assess tort reforms, including both proposals
for reform and actual implemented reforms, in light of how they
advance or hinder those values. Reforms of substantive and
procedural law in respect of personal injury damages are analysed,
with perspectives from England and Wales, Canada, Australia,
Ireland and continental Europe. The essays offer valuable insights
to anyone interested in the reform of tort law or the tort process
in respect of personal injuries.
