Summary
  1. "Discussing the most relevant factors in establishing liability as wrongfulness, causation, damage, fault and the area of strict liability, the group is concentrating on the topic "causation" in this book, trying to combine theoretical abstract analysis with the discussion of concrete cases. Firstly, the authors give an overview of causation under their national legal systems, especially by working out its concept and its importance in establishing liability. Secondly, concrete cases are solved. The following comparative conclusions aim at the coordination of the results and the supplementation of other important factors." "In summary, the book tries to make clear which is the common ground of causation that underlies all the legal systems concerned with respect to the law of torts. It also informs the academic and practitioner of the fundamental questions of causation underlying the law of torts in a particular country."--BOOK JACKET.
