Carolina Academic Press is pleased to announce the 2004 release of The Boundaries of Strict Liability in European Tort Law, edited and authored by Franz Werro and Vernon Valentine Palmer. This volume represents an in-depth study of a crucial question of tort law: When is liability based on fault and when does it give way to the need to impose strict liability? Continental in scope and yet remarkably detailed in its treatment of individual countries, the present work offers an unequalled overview of the subject and its many controversies. In light of 12 up-to-date national reports and an unprecedented synthesis, it is an indispensable guide to law reformers, practitioners and scholars in Europe, the United States and elsewhere. This volume is the latest addition to the series entitled "The Common Core of European Private Law" with Mauro Bussani and Ugo Mattei as general editors.
