The Boundaries of Strict Liability in European Tort Law

In Europe, as elsewhere, the question of whether and to do what extent liability is strict or based on fault remains often answered in uncertain terms. In the light of twelve reports from different European jurisdictions, the present volume offers case studies covering among others libility of parents, of emploers, of property owners, medical libility, product liability, and motorist libility. Achieving an unprecedented synthesis, this book should be of interest not only to those who work on European law reform projects, bur also to those who practice private tort law and seek a better understanding of the foundations of libility, both on a national and an international level.
