The increasing Europeanisation of the law of delict/torts has produced textbooks, casebooks, monographs, and also sets of model rules of a genuinely European character. A major gap still existing today relates to the experiences gathered in the national legal systems over the past decades. The present work attempts to fill this gap for one key element of tort law: the notion of damage. It thus does what the previous volume in the ‘Digest of European Tort Law’ series did for another key element, ie natural causation. Once again, the publication contains a selection of the most important cases decided in26 states across Europe as well as by the European Court of Justice. For each case the facts and the relevant court decision are presented, and the decision is analysed within the wider context of the development of the respective legal system. In addition, the editors provide comparative analyses of the case law reported in this volume concerning all the specific problems raised under the heading of damage. The publication also looks into how key cases would be resolved under the European model rules drafted in the field of tort law; and it also highlights cases from earlier periods of legal history.The editors believe that the material gathered here may provide guidance for an organic convergence of the national legal systems in Europe. It constitutes the basis of an acquis commun that is infinitely richer (though also much more complex) than the rather bland and abstract concepts contained in national codifications, European legislation, and the modern model rules.

The various national European legal systems offer a broad range of responses to the question of what can be regarded as wrongful behaviour or fault. The present work systematically examines these two important prerequisites for tortious liability under the combined heading of ‘misconduct’. Unlike current textbooks, national casebooks and monographs, it builds on the experiences gathered in the national legal systems over the past decades and thereby fills a major gap which still exists today. It thus does what the previous volumes in the ‘Digest of European Tort Law’ series did for other key elements of tort law, namely natural causation and damage. Once again, the publication contains a selection of the most important cases from 28 states across Europe as well as cases handed down by European Union courts; it also highlights cases from earlier periods of legal history. For each case, the facts and the relevant court decision are presented and these are then accompanied by an analytical commentary. In addition, the editors provide comparative analyses of the cases reported and a special report is dedicated to how key decisions would be resolved under model European rules on tort law. The editors believe that the material gathered here may provide guidance for an organic convergence of the national legal systems in Europe. It constitutes the basis of an acquis commun that is infinitely richer (though also much more complex) than the rather bland and abstract concepts contained in national codifications, European legislation and modern model rules.

Tillfälligt slut
Bénédict Winiger geht der Frage nach, unter welchen Bedingungen von jemandem gesagt werden kann, er handle verantwortlich oder unverantwortlich. Diese Frage beschäftigt die Menschheit seit jeher und stellt sich jedem von uns bei allen Entscheidungen. Eine historische Analyse zeigt eingangs verschiedene Antworten in alten mesopotamischen, kleinasiatischen, griechischen und römischen Texten, die die moderne Rechtsphilosophie entscheidend geprägt haben. Der Autor vertritt sodann folgende zwei Thesen: Jemand verhält sich dann verantwortlich, wenn er durch sein Handeln einem möglichen Opfer jene Lebensperspektive zurückgeben kann - und im Schadensfalle tatsächlich zurückgibt, die es ohne das schädigende Ereignis haben würde (Kriterium der Reversibilität). Zudem verhält sich derjenige verantwortlich, den bei der Handlungsbestimmung und der tatsächlichen Handlung kein Verschulden trifft (Kriterium des Verschuldens).
