Technological developments posed a challenge to the established
law, especially tort law, at approximately the same time across
Europe. This book focuses on the similarity and diversity of
responses to such developments in different jurisdictions. Three
examples have been studied in depth: the escape of sparks from
steam engines in the middle of the nineteenth century; exploding
boilers in the latter part of the nineteenth century; and
asbestos-related industrial disease in the middle and late
twentieth century. The book shows how the rules of tort law were
used and adapted and demonstrates how other systems of regulation
and compensation were introduced to prevent injuries or to provide
compensation to victims outside tort law. The relatively marginal
role of tort law in these areas reveals much about legal
development in general.
