Der Autor zielt auf eine dynamische Vergleichung der Probleme auf dem Gebiet des Rechts der unerlaubten Handlung, die sich in der Geschichte auf der einen Seite auf dem Kontinent Westeuropas, auf der anderen Seite im Bereich des common law dargeboten haben. Das allgemeine Konzept der unerlaubten Handlung als solche ist, soweit es den Kontinent anbelangt, eine Schöpfung des mittelalterlichen, namentlich des kanonischen Rechts. Auf der anderen Seite des Kanals geht die unerlaubte Handlung, die man als negligence anzudeuten pflegt, hauptsächlich auf das 19. Jahrhundert zurück, obwohl deren Wurzeln sich schon beträchtlich früher auffinden lassen. In beiden Rechtskreisen handelt es sich um eine Generalisierung schon seit Alters her bestehender Konzepte, die mit der Formulierung der alten Klagen geradewegs in Verbindung stehen. Dieser Prozeß der Generalisierung hat sich aber nicht unbehindert vollzogen. Gerade die Hürden und Schwierigkeiten auf dem Wege zur Generalisierung der alten Klagen und Konzepte bilden das zentrale Thema dieses Buches. Sie werden von voranstehenden Rechtshistorikern aus dem Bereich des deutschen, englischen, französischen, niederländischen und schottischen Rechts erläutert. Der Herausgeber, der schon früher in dieser Reihe einen Band über ungerechtfertigte Bereicherung veröffentlicht hat, ist für die Einführung aus rechtsvergleichender Sicht verantwortlich.
Tort Law: A Modern Perspective is an advanced yet accessible introduction to tort law for lawyers, law students, and others. Reflecting the way tort law is taught today, it explains the cases and legal doctrines commonly found in casebooks using modern ideas about public policy, economics, and philosophy. With an emphasis on policy rationales, Tort Law encourages readers to think critically about the justifications for legal doctrines. Although the topic of torts is specific, the conceptual approach should pay dividends to those who are interested broadly in regulatory policy and the role of law. Incorporating three decades of advancements in tort scholarship, Tort Law is the textbook for modern torts classrooms.
Rediscovering the Law of Negligence offers a systematic and theoretical exploration of the law of negligence. Its aim is to re-establish the notion that thinking about the law ought to and can proceed on the basis of principle. As such, it is opposed to the prevalent modern view that the various aspects of the law are and must be based on individual policy decisions and that the task of the judge or commentator is to shape the law in terms of the relevant policies as she sees them. The book, then, is an attempt to re-establish the law of negligence as a body of law rather than as a branch of politics. The book argues that the law of negligence is best understood in terms of a relatively small set of principles enunciated in a small number of leading cases. It further argues that these principles are themselves best seen in terms of an aspect of morality called corrective justice which, when applied to the most important aspects of the law of negligence reveals that the law - even as it now exists - possesses a far greater degree of conceptual unity than is commonly thought. Using this method the author is able to examine familiar aspects of the law of negligence such as the standard of care; the duty of care; remoteness; misfeasance; economic loss; negligent misrepresentation; the liability of public bodies; wrongful conception; nervous shock; the defences of contributory negligence, voluntary assumption of risk, and illegality; causation; and issues concerning proof, to show that when the principles are applied and the idea of corrective justice is properly understood then the law appears both systematic and conceptually satisfactory. The upshot is a rediscovery of the law of negligence.
The Negligence: Purpose, Elements, and Evidence book provides in depth knowledge separated by the individual states in the United States. This book will greatly benefit every plaintiff attorney and judge in the USA.
This book looks at the negligence concept of tort law and studies the efficiency issue arising from the determination of negligence. It does so by scrutinizing actual court decisions from three common law jurisdictions – Britain, India and the United States of America. This volume fills a very significant gap, scrutinizing 52 landmark judgments from these three countries, by focussing on the negligent affliction of economic loss determined by common law courts and how these findings relate to the existing theoretical literature. By doing so, it examines the formalization of legal concepts in theory, primarily the question of negligence determination and liability, and their centrality in theories concerning tort law. This book will be very helpful for students, professors and practitioners of law, jurisprudence and legal theory. It will additionally be of use to researchers and academics interested in law and economics, procedure and legal history.
This book aims to provide a detailed analysis and overview of the duty of care enquiry, drawing on both academic analyses and judicial experience in leading common law systems. A new structure through which duty problems can be analysed is also proposed. It is hoped that the book provides some fresh insights and clarity of the concept to the reader.
This work explains how statutes underpin and inform the whole of the law of negligence. Although the civil liability legislation has highlighted the foundational role of statutes, in truth this has been the case for many decades. The book shows how throughout the entirety of the law of negligence - including duty, breach, causation, contributory negligence, statutory contribution, proportionate liability and damages - statutes have been responsible for the law as it is now understood and practised. In particular, the law of causation, of damages for mental harm and the immunity of highway authorities are shown to have been deeply informed by statute.Moreover, the contribution of statutes is demonstrated to be vital, complex and interesting.The book's purpose is both educational and practical. While it will strengthen the reader's conceptual understanding of the complex ways in which statutes and the common law interact to produce the law of negligence, the book is far from a work of abstract theory. On the contrary, its focus is on the very significant practical consequences that flow from the interaction. As such, it will be of enormous assistance to any practitioner seeking to understand or practise in the area. The coverage is Australia-wide.
