"In the light of twelve reports from different European jurisdictions, the present volume offers case studies covering among others liability of parents, of employers, of property owners, medical liability, product liability, and motorist liability. Achieving an unprecedented synthesis, this book should be of interest not only to those who work on European law reform projects, but also to those who practice private tort law and seek a better understanding of the foundations of liability, both on a national and an international level."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Boundaries of Strict Liability in European Tort Law

Le présent ouvrage traite le droit des contrats à partir des arrêts du Tribunal fédéral. Les arrêts choisis illustrent toutes les questions que pose le contrat, de sa formation jusqu'à sa fin et au-delà. Des notes et des questions accompagnent chaque arrêt et permettent d'en mesurer la portée exacte. Avec les contrats nommés et innommés les plus courants, la présentation permet d'assimiler la matière de manière concrète et vivante et d'en approfondir les implications. Dans sa deuxième édition, le livre servira d'abord les besoins des étudiant(e)s, à qui il tiendra lieu d'outil d'apprentissage. Il rendra service également aux praticien(ne)s à qui il offrira un aperçu de l'essentiel de la jurisprudence récente du Tribunal fédéral. En plus de celle de l'arrêt, une bibliographie sélective fournit aussi des pistes utiles pour une étude plus approfondie de la matière.

A Handbook

European Private Law

This book examines the right to be forgotten and finds that this right enjoys recognition mostly in jurisdictions where privacy interests impose limits on freedom of expression. According to its traditional understanding, this right gives individuals the possibility to preclude the media from revealing personal facts that are no longer newsworthy, at least where no other interest prevails. Cases sanctioning this understanding still abound in a number of countries. In today’s world, however, the right to be forgotten has evolved, and it appears in a more multi-faceted way. It can involve for instance also the right to access, control and even erase personal data. Of course, these prerogatives depend on various factors and competing interests, of both private and public nature, which again require careful balancing. Due to ongoing technological evolution, it is likely that the right to be forgotten in some of its new manifestations will become increasingly relevant in our societies.
