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.
