Abstract

The work by Bassanini, Sebok and Infantino, published by Oxford University Press, is an interesting and in-depth analysis of the law of civil liability, in five legal systems: England, the United States, France, Germany and Italy. The analysis starts from the identification of this area of law, as named in the different legal systems as “tort law”, “responsabilité civile”, “Deliktsrecht”, “responsabilità civile” The work contains a lucid, wide-ranging and detailed comparison between the Common Law and Civil Law systems selected with specific reference to the «civil liability for injuries arising outside of contract»
