The foundations of tort law in European systems differ
considerably. Until recently, there was no attempt to harmonize the
entire field of tort law in a consistent and comprehensive manner.
A group of tort law experts, the "European Group on Tort Law," has
been engaged over the last 11 years in systematically researching
the most fundamental questions underlying the various tort law
systems. The result of their work is this important series of
books, which seeks a common law of Europe without the need to lay
these principles down in formal legal texts, such as a European
civil code. In this volume, the authors provide an overview of
contributory negligence and its relevance in the allocation of
damages under their respective national tort system. Of immense
practical importance, the concept of contributory negligence is
further examined in an analysis of actual cases. This volume also
contains an economic analysis of this area of tort law as well as a
comparative report which summarizes and compares the most important
elements identified by the individual country reports. In summary,
this volume shows the common grounds of contributory negligence in
the various legal systems under examination. In addition, it
provides the academic and the practitioner with the fundamental
aspects of contributory negligence in the countries covered.
