Description: "This book examines the law of product liability from a comparative perspective. With the European Directive on Product Liability enacted over twenty years ago, this publication analyses the state of product liability in a number of key jurisdictions including both Western European countries and new Member States. Account is also taken of recent developments further afield, including the United States and Japan. Distinguished contributors, including a high court judge, European Commission official, leading litigators and academics, provide individual country reports and a number of integrated comparative studies. The book is designed for practical use by legal practitioners, academics, students and others interested in the area of contract, tort, civil procedure and multi-party litigation. In particular, practitioners will find the country reports an essential reference point."--BOOK JACKET.
