In Public Nuisance, Linda Mullenix describes the landscape of 21st century mass tort litigation involving public harms - including lead paint, opioids, firearms, e-cigarettes, climate change, and environmental pollution - and the novel theory of public nuisance that lawyers and local governments have used to receive compensation from those who have created public nuisances. The book surveys conflicting judicial decisions rooted in common law and statutory interpretation and evaluates the competing arguments for and against the expansion of public nuisance law. Mullenix argues that that the development of public nuisance theory is part of the historical arc of mass tort litigation and suggests a middle approach to new public nuisance law, namely that we should embrace the common law and legislated public nuisance statutes.

Localisation in private international law of torts is a notoriously difficult question. How do you localize financial or moral damage? What about latent damage? Should damage in the context of cyber-torts be localized differently? The great variety of tortious actions gives rise to endless difficulties ranging from banal situations involving material damage to climate change. Trying to find suitable solutions requires answering many difficult questions, such as the very definition of damage within the meaning of private international law rules, the influence of various considerations such as foreseeability, protection of the claimant, and the remedy sought. The contributions in this volume address these questions and more from the perspectives of 17 different countries, from Austria to Venezuela.

De la proposition de loi au texte adoptéLe livre 6 du Code civil portant réforme du droit de la responsabilité extracontractuelle a été adopté par la Chambre des représentants le 1ᵉʳ février 2024 et entrera en vigueur le 1ᵉʳ janvier 2025.Les articles 1382 et 1386bis de l'ancien Code civil sont ainsi remplacés par cinquante-cinq articles auxquels s'ajoutent des dispositions diverses amendant les textes existants.Le changement qui s'annonce est majeur. Le livre 6 consolide pour une part les acquis de la jurisprudence mais comporte aussi de nombreuses innovations tels que l'ouverture plus large du concours des responsabilités, l'abandon de l'élément moral ou subjectif de la faute, l'alourdissement de la responsabilité des parents pour les dommages causés par des mineurs de moins de 16 ans, une approche nouvelle de l'incertitude causale, la consécration de la faute lucrative et l'octroi d'un effet préventif aux règles de responsabilité.Une interprétation correcte de ces nouvelles règles repose sur une lecture attentive et un examen approfondi non seulement du texte même de la loi, mais aussi des travaux parlementaires.Cet ouvrage destiné aux praticiens est un outil pratique, maniable et efficace, qui leur épargnera des recherches longues et laborieuses à travers les documents parlementaires, présentés, par nature, de manière chronologique.On y trouvera, article par article (facilement identifiable dans le coin supérieur droit de chaque page), l'évolution du texte (depuis la proposition de loi jusqu'au texte adopté), l'exposé des motifs, l'avis du Conseil d'État, ainsi que les amendements adoptés et leurs justifications.

Le nouveau livre 6 du Code civil portant réforme du droit de la responsabilité extracontractuelle entrera en vigueur le 1er janvier 2025.Les articles 1382 à 1386bis de l’ancien Code civil seront alors remplacés par cinquante-cinq articles, sans compter quelques dispositions qui amendent certains textes existants. Même si le livre 6 consolide pour partie les solutions qui se dégagent de la jurisprudence de la Cour de cassation, il comporte aussi nombre de solutions nouvelles et originales remettant en cause des solutions bien établies.Cet ouvrage examine en priorité les dispositions qui relèvent de cette seconde catégorie afin de souligner en quoi elles modifient le droit actuel. Les auteurs abordent ainsi successivement :- le concours des responsabilités ;- la faute ;- les responsabilités complexes du fait d’autrui et du fait des choses ;- la causalité ;- le sort des victimes d’une atteinte à l’intégrité physique ou psychique.Cet ouvrage revêt dès lors une importance particulière, qui ne saurait échapper aux praticiens du droit

Can the law keep up with AI? This book examines liability and regulation for artificial intelligence causing serious physical harm, both now and in the future. While AI moves quickly, regulation follows more slowly - an increasing problem for an evolutionary, fast-paced emerging technology. AI has the potential to save lives, but in doing so will have the potential to take them as well. How do we future-proof law and regulation to incentivise life-saving innovation as safely as possible? This book details how to regulate AI in high-risk civil applications (for example, automated vehicles and medicine), addressing both liability and regulatory structure. It highlights crucial liability themes for technology governance; provides tools to bridge the gap between regulators and technologists; examines jurisdictional approaches to AI regulation in the EU, UK, USA, and Singapore; and ultimately suggests a jurisdiction-agnostic blueprint for regulation.
