The Liability of Public Authorities in Comparative Perspective Principles of European Tort Law Series
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : OLIPHANT Ken
In recent decades, the liability of public authorities has been one of the
main areas of devel-opment in tort law in Europe, with major reforms
implemented or considered at a national level, and a steady stream of
major court decisions. During the same period, ‘Member State liability’
has also been recognised in the law of the EU, and the interplay of
principles of national and EU law – and additionally the ‘just
satisfaction’ jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights –
evidently warrants close attention. In this context, the aims of the
present study are to contribute to the understanding of the law of
extra-contractual liability as it applies to public authorities in the
legal systems of Europe (and selected non-European jurisdictions), to
facilitate its enhancement where necessary or desirable, and to consider
the possibilities for harmonisation in the area – specifically, through
the extension and adaptation of the Principles of European Tort Law to
cover public authority liability.
