Abstract

Tort Wars brings together the diverse and usually insufficiently related strands of tort law and treats the moral, economic, and systemic problems running through those strands with a single analysis and theory. In that tort law employs theory at all, it is typically theory measured against notions of corrective justice or appeals to utility. Both have severe prescriptive restrictions and limited explanatory power and often stray from any useful description of tort cases in the courts. Tort Wars looks at the nature of dispute resolution techniques, criticizes the blasé justice and more esoteric utility theory, and examines the problems of both the legal academy and the veracity vacuum in the courtroom. Further, it explores the conceptual differences between tort and contract, locating contract as a subset of tort. It uses examples drawn from the edges of tort law in an attempt to measure central cases by the marginal ones and to provide a barometer of emerging legal and social change, achieved through imposing an individualized peace.

Abstract

Since 1996, death sentences in America have declined by more than 60 percent, reversing a generation-long trend toward greater acceptance of capital punishment. In theory, most Americans continue to support the death penalty. But it is no longer seen as a theoretical matter. Prosecutors, judges, and juries across the country have moved in large numbers to give much greater credence to the possibility of mistakes - mistakes that in this arena are potentially fatal. The discovery of innocence, documented in this book through painstaking analyses of media coverage and with newly developed methods, has led to historic shifts in public opinion and to a sharp decline in use of the death penalty by juries across the country. A social cascade, starting with legal clinics and innocence projects, has snowballed into a national phenomenon that may spell the end of the death penalty in America.

Abstract

This publication deals with the European dimension of tort law. It provides a critical analysis of the acquis communautaire, asking if and to what extent the provisions and case law in the field of tort law are based on a conclusive system and are in accord with the national legal systems. It thus evaluates whether the acquis communautaire form the beginning of a comprehensive and coherent EC tort law or if the single directives and regulations are contradictory and lack a general concept that is yet to be found. To gain an overview of 'EC Tort Law' certain provisions and decisions were analysed by a group of authors under thirteen elements that form the basis of tort law e.g. fault/strict liability, causation, damage, damages and limitation of actions. An analysis of these aspects was then undertaken by another group of authors each focusing on their respective legal families within the European Union. The publication also contains a section on terminological issues in EC tort law.

Abstract

De Belgische gevangenissen zitten overvol. Desondanks is het aantal opgesloten onschuldigen schrikbarend groot. Het volstaat vaak op het foute moment op de foute plaats te zijn of onderwerp te vormen van roddels om opgepakt te worden. Dat is het gevolg van de soms tergende lichtzinnigheid waarmee onderzoeksrechters de wet op de voorlopige hechtenis misbruiken om mensen aan te houden en onder druk te zetten. Tijdens gerechtelijke onderzoeken worden vaak de meest elementaire rechten van de verdediging schandelijk met de voeten getreden. Zwartboek Justitie zet een lange reeks concrete gevallen van gerechtelijke dwalingen op een rij. De gevallen zijn zo veelvuldig, zo schrijnend dat zich maar één enkele, harde conclusie opdringt: België evolueert met rasse schreden naar een politiestaat, een land waar de burgers leven in voorlopige vrijheid, waar burgers zonder blikken of blozen door een ontspoord rechtssysteem worden vermorzeld, waar levens worden verwoest. En waar niemand op het einde van de rit echt verantwoording moet afleggen. België, een vrij land. Met vogelvrije burgers. (bron : covertekst)
