Reviews

'The disarming yet deceptively complex topic of causation in tort law has long fascinated scholars in North America. It also provides a formidable challenge that the 'Common Core of European Private Law' publishing project has now confronted as part of its ambitious endeavour to identify and analyze the commonalities and divergences that characterize European private law. With a pair of promising young scholars (Marta Infantino and Eleni Zervogianni) at the helm, Causation in European Tort Law applies a unique analytical approach to comparative law that has become the trademark of the Common Core enterprise, and that seeks to provide what it claims are indispensable 'roadmaps' for ongoing efforts by academics to harmonize European law.'
