Overview

Liability law is clearly expanding through an increasing number of strict liabilities, increasing claim-consciousness and higher amounts awarded. This work puts forward a number of views on how modern tort law copes and should cope with these changes. It provides a brief overview of a broad range of legal systems and describes the tools used to prevent the burden of liability law from becoming too heavy, such as causation, duty of care, caps and ceilings and ad hoc moderation.
