Tort Law

A Comparative Introduction: Second Edition
This thoroughly updated second edition provides a clear and structured introduction to the subject of tort law with a global outlook. It lays out an accessible overview of the key concepts and doctrines, illustrated with case law and provisions from around the world, and uses a comparative approach to explore three key jurisdictions: England, France and Germany. Including the latest developments in the field, this is the ideal textbook to aid readers’ comparative understanding of the topic by clarifying corresponding concepts and terminology.
