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 in 26 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.

Excerpt from Essentials to the Law of Damages Today, as is well known, the situation is altogether dif ferent. In contract, and as to pecuniary elements of dam age in-tort, the court can, and does, exercise rather a close control over the amount of damages; but, as to non-pecuniary elements of damage in torts, the jury may exercise a discretion of considerable breadth, for it is, as to such elements, exceedingly difficult, in most cases, to say that a verdict is excessive or inadequate, and it is altogether impossible to lay down practically complete general rules as in contract.

Excerpt from Essentials to the Law of Damages The purpose of this book is to state clearly the rules of the law of Damages, to comment upon and illustrate the workings of the rules, and to present important recent developments in this field. An effort is made to cultivate in the student an independent judgment as to the correctness of statements of principle. For this purpose, comparisons of adverse holdings are made, and questionable holdings are questioned or criticized. It is not intended that this work contain any extended treatment of the law of tort and contract. Questions of liability are so interwoven with questions as to the measure of damages that it is necessary to devote small portions of the book to treatment of the primary question of the defendants liability, as is done in all books on this subject. In determining the amount of space to be given to each portion of the general subject, regard has been had to the relative importance of the parts and to their complexity and difficulty. The citations of cases and quotations from them and other authorities have been selected from a large mass of material gathered from almost every possible source during the years in which the writer has written articles upon and taught this subject. Many of the cases quoted, cited, or used as illustrations, are leading cases, and to these have been added such other cases as seem valuable for purposes of instruction. In the selection of cases for illustrative purposes, the element of human interest has never been lost sight of; for the student must be interested while instructed.
