Abstract

Independent of criminal or contract law, Tort law provides individuals and groups with redress for injury to every dimension of life from physical injury, to property damage, to personal insult. Over past decades no body of law within the civil justice system has experienced greater ferment than the law of Torts. In the US, state courts, federal courts, and the Supreme Court have all been active in the development of Tort policy. This edited collection comprises scholarship from many of today's most influential contributors regarding Torts and Compensation Systems scholarship. Topics include an investigation of the original stimuli for tort-type norms from ancient times onwards, a provocative analysis of five tort landmarks from MacPherson v. Buick Motor Co. to United States v. Carroll Towing Co, and a frank assessment of the limitations of torts within broader compensation systems goals.

Abstract

For centuries, philosophical debate has focused on concepts such as "person", the "value" and "quality" of life, "rights", "suffering", "life" and "death". However, the problems that have emerged over the last decades as a result of the application of life-extending technologies have led to a reconsideration of both the philosophical and the everyday usage of such concepts. This book is intended as a reflection on certain aspects of the debate on the moral legitimacy of non-voluntary euthanasia, through a critical discussion of the principal philosophical notions utilised in bioethics.

Abstract

L'analyse économique du droit a les vertus du droit comparé, dont elle emprunte la méthodologie ; elle permet de mettre en lumière les présupposés du droit auquel elle s'applique et donne une nouvelle vigueur à ses fondements. Ainsi, les raisonnements économiques appliqués au droit de la responsabilité délictuelle déplacent le débat, qui s'articule traditionnellement autour de la source (faute ou risque), vers la recherche de la meilleure incitation possible à ne pas commettre de dommages ou à les réparer. Les auteurs du droit, qu'ils soient juges ou législateurs, sont alors invités à accorder plus d'importance à la notion de causalité et à articuler davantage les deux principaux régimes de responsabilité, pour faute et sans faute. L'étude des règles juridiques à partir d'une utilisation systématique des travaux d'analyse économique peut aussi bien conduire à renforcer certains principes traditionnels, telle la réparation intégrale, ou à proposer l'accueil de mécanismes plus contestés, comme la peine privée. L'ouvrage montre encore qu'une pertinence première dort être accordée, notamment par les juges, à des mécanismes comme celui de l'assurance. L'importance de la jurisprudence conduit alors à montrer l'interférence entre les modes de résolution des litiges et les résultats économiques des règles. Par ces différentes voies, ce livre fournit aux praticiens un autre éclairage sur l'art de bien juger et de bien concevoir les règles, éclairage en rien exclusif, mais éclairage bienvenu.
