    Book description

    Pure economic loss is one of the most discussed and controversial legal issues in Europe today, raising complex questions which affect the law of tort and contract. How far can tort liability expand without imposing excessive burdens upon individual activity? Should the recovery of pure economic loss be the domain principally of the law of contract? And is there a common core of principles, policies and rules governing tortious liability for pure economic loss in Europe? Originally published in 2003, this is a comprehensive study of the subject, using a fact-based comparative method and in-depth research into the laws of thirteen European countries. Following a historical and analytical introduction to economic loss, experts from most European countries consider how their national systems would deal with the same practical problem, highlighting similarities and differences in a range of comprehensive issues. This is the third publication of the Common Core of European Private Law.

    Reviews

    Review of the hardback:‘It is a remarkably engrossing and valuable work, a real achievement in a notoriously difficult yet important field of obligations … for this reviewer, the real value of this book lies in the brilliant and subtle analytical essays by the editors which set these national reports in context and synthesize the findings of this ‘meta-study’.'

    Review of the hardback:'… a most valuable addition to the literature on the 'common core' of European tort law.'

    Ken Oliphant - Cardiff University

    Review of the hardback:'This book is a mine of informed analysis. It provides many interesting and novel insights to the complex problem of pure economic loss and has (already) been a basis for further illuminating theoretical research. Whether one's interest is in comparative law, its methodology, the harmonisation of European private law, pure economic loss or tort law more generally, this book is an indispensable resource.'
