Publisher's Synopsis
This book examines the German law of torts using the comparative method, making frequent references to American, English and French materials. Completely revised and updated, it includes a commentary on the tort provisions of the German Civil Code (with extensive further references) as well as English translations of leading decisions of the German Courts. Translations of the relevant sections of the Road Traffic Act 1952 and the Strict Liability Act 1979 have also been included. Most of the cases and statutes are accompanied by explanatory notes providing parallel solutions in English and American law, making this book a useful reference work for both established practitioners and students approaching German and comparative law for the first time. The author's previous book was "Tort Law".
