"In the light of twelve reports from different European jurisdictions, the present volume offers case studies covering among others liability of parents, of employers, of property owners, medical liability, product liability, and motorist liability. Achieving an unprecedented synthesis, this book should be of interest not only to those who work on European law reform projects, but also to those who practice private tort law and seek a better understanding of the foundations of liability, both on a national and an international level."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Boundaries of Strict Liability in European Tort Law

This is the first comprehensive work to capture the rise of moral damages (non-pecuniary loss) in European contract law through a historical and comparative analysis. Unique features of this study include the first classification scheme of the systems into liberal, moderate and conservative regimes, a taxonomy of non-pecuniary loss drawn from a European-wide jurisprudence, and a comprehensive bibliography of the subject. Written by a leading academic on comparative law, Palmer's precise and practical insights on Europe's leading cases will be of great interest to academic researchers and practitioners alike.
