The Boundaries of Strict Liability in European Tort Law

In Europe, as elsewhere, the question of whether and to what extent liability is strict or based on fault remains often answered in uncertain terms. In the light of twelve reports from different Euro-pean 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 not only be of interest 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.

...Das vorliegende Werk richtet sich nicht nur an Personen, die sich mit der europäischen Rechtsvereinheitlichung beschäftigen, sondern leistet auch dem euro-international tätigen Praktiker bei der Bewältigung von haftpflichtrechtlichen Fragestellungen gute Dienste.
