Reviews

Drawing on a range of legal and non-legal fields, including feminist studies, psychology, and sociology, Ferreira explores the horizontal effect of fundamental rights in private law (also referred to as external effect, third-party effect, Drittwirkung, etc.) in selected European jurisdictions (French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Swedish, Finnish, English, and Welsh). He contributes to the ongoing debate about this subject by examining the neglected area of tort law from the point of view of the tortfeasor, illustrating this general discussion with a more focused consideration on the tortuous liability of children. The topic is addressed at the international, European, and national levels and also brings in relevant aspects of other legal fields, including human rights law, constitutional law, and child law. -Book News
