Springer Unification of Tort Law: Damages - Legal Series

The foundations of tort law vary significantly across different European legal systems. Until now, the field has lacked a consistent attempt at harmonization. This volume, part of the Principles of European Tort Law Set, addresses this gap by exploring the fundamental questions that underpin every tort law system. Developed by a group of specialized tort lawyers, this series seeks to identify a common law of Europe. It achieves this by examining the core principles without requiring the immediate creation of formal legal texts like a European civil code. This work is essential for legal professionals and scholars looking to understand the shared elements of liability, including factors such as wrongfulness and causation. By focusing on the most relevant factors in establishing liability, this book provides a structured approach to understanding how different systems might find common ground. It serves as a vital resource for anyone studying international law or seeking to understand the evolving landscape of European legal principles.
