Fully revised and updated to reflect all recent developments (e.g. the impact of the Human Rights Act), the second edition of this popular text combines the best features of a stand-alone textbook with those of a traditional materials volume. Interesting and authoritative author commentary is developed through detailed introductory sections that place the topics in context and extract commentary to encourage full consideration of each issue and direct students to further reading and more in-depth research. A stimulating selection of well-chosen extracts from relevant case law as well as key academic articles map closely onto current UK courses, and highlight issues worthy of more detailed discussion. A new and improved page layout and format including further headings, chapter summaries, and a new typeface allow for clearer differentiation between commentary and materials and improve the user-friendly aspects and navigation through the text. Written with the undergraduate in mind, the text is easily accessible for all those following courses in tort law and should be essential reading for students coming to the subject for the first time

The papers in this collection are drawn from a symposium held in Vienna in December 2010. Organised by the Institute for European Tort Law and the Chicago-Kent Law Review, in collaboration with the European Centre of Tort and Insurance Law, the conference drew together legal experts from 14 national or regional systems across six continents. Medical malpractice and compensation for medical injuries are issues which regularly create tension and innovation in national legal systems but the analysis of these areas is often limited to national audiences. This study examines the issues in a uniquely global context, demonstrating the breadth of approaches currently taken around the world and revealing key areas of tension and the likely direction of future developments. Wherever possible, the analysis is supported by reference to empirical data. The 14 legal systems covered in the collection are Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, Scandinavia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. A general comparative introduction completes the collection.

In recent decades, the liability of public authorities has been one of the main areas of development in and at the edges of tort law in Europe, with major reforms implemented or considered at a national level, and a steady stream of major court decisions. During the same period, 'Member State liability' has also been recognised in the law of the EU, and the interplay of principles of national and EU law - and additionally the 'just satisfaction' jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights - evidently warrants close attention.In this context, the aims of the present study are to contribute to the understanding of the law of extra-contractual liability as it applies to public authorities in the legal systems of Europe (and selected non-European jurisdictions), to facilitate its enhancement where necessary or desirable, and to consider the possibilities for harmonisation in the area - specifically, through the extension and adaptation of the Principles of European Tort Law to cover public authority liability.
