Reviews

This impressive collection of essays supplies a comprehensive review of one of the most important themes in contemporary public law...an extremely useful primary source for those embarking on comparative research on tort liability of public authorities. The fundamental rules of a broad range of jurisdictions are comprehensively mapped out, and the book is littered with kernels of comparative analysis that are well worth deeper probing. Angela Ward (2004) 15 European Business Law Review 1223-4.
