Description

Liability law is expanding in many areas and many countries. This development is potentially worrisome. It may affect the availability of useful goods and services and has a negative impact on insurability. This calls for research into techniques to keep liability (law) within reasonable and sustainable limits. This book sheds light on the techniques used in the respective countries, highlighted on the basis of eight cases.
