Comparative Tort Law cover

Comparative Tort Law promotes a ‘learning by doing’ approach to comparative tort law and comparative methodology. Each chapter starts with a case scenario followed by questions and expertly selected material, such as: legislation, extracts of case law, soft law principles, and (where appropriate) extracts of legal doctrine. Using this material, students are invited to:

• solve the proposed scenario according to the laws of several jurisdictions;

• compare the approaches and solutions they have identified;

• evaluate their respective pros and cons; and

• reflect upon the most appropriate approach and solution.

This book is essential reading for all students and scholars of comparative tort law and comparative law methodology and is the ideal companion for those wishing to both familiarise themselves with real-world materials and understand the many diverse approaches to modern tort law.

"This is the first true student reader on comparative tort law bringing together excerpts from court practice and legislation in a way that lets students experience comparative law in action. It leaves room for one’s own opinion, which is crucial for comparative legal education."

Bernhard A. Koch, Univ.-Prof. Dr. LL.M., Universität Innsbruck

"Thomas Kadner Graziano’s new book applies a broad comparative approach that prepares students for the challenges of the modern world. Written in English, it can be used in classrooms around the world. The book provides students with an excellent opportunity to develop their skills as comparative lawyers."

Reinhard Zimmermann, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult., Direktor am Max-Planck-Institut für ausländisches und internationales Privatrecht, Hamburg

"Worldwide comparative law is of increasing importance. Therefore, Kadner Graziano’s idea to provide materials for teachers and students for a case oriented approach to comparative law methodology, taking as an example tort law, is highly welcome. It will greatly benefit every user to go through this book thoroughly."

Helmut Koziol, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c., founding President of the European Center of Tort and Insurance Law, Vienna
