Proof of Causation in Tort Law
 |
| Anteprima |
Causation
is a foundational concept in tort law: in claims for compensation, a
claimant must demonstrate that the defendant was a cause of the injury
suffered in order for compensation to be awarded. Proof of Causation in
Tort Law provides a critical, comparative and theoretical analysis of
the general proof rules of causation underlying the tort laws of
England, Germany and France, as well as the exceptional departures from
these rules which each system has made. Exploring the different
approaches to uncertainty over causation in tort law, Sandy Steel
defends the justifiability of some of these exceptions, and categorises
and examines the kinds of exceptional rules suggested by the case law
and literature. Critically engaged with both the theoretical literature
and current legal doctrine, this book will be of interest to private law
scholars, judges and legal practitioners.
