Description

This book examines the German law of torts using the comparative method, making frequent references to American, English, and French material. Completely revised and updated, it includes commentary on the tort provisions of the German Civil Code 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 of English and American law, making this book an invaluable reference for practitioners and students of German and comparative law.
