Subject: ODG: European Tort Law Yearbook 2008

Dear All
 
I'm pleased to inform you of the publication of the European Tort Law Yearbook 2008, a co-production of the European Centre for Tort and Insurance Law (ECTIL) and the Institute for European Tort Law. The Yearbook provides a comprehensive review of the latest developments in tort law in Europe, with reports on most EU Member States as well as Norway and Switzerland, a special report on EU tort law developments, and my own comparative overview.
 
Yearbook 2008 also contains four papers on the topic of the burden of proof, including a predictably fascinating and challenging essay, "Proving Facts : Belief versus Probability", by regular list contributor Richard W Wright, plus the text of Michele Graziadei's thought-provoking opening lecture, "What went wrong? Tort law, personal responsibility, expectations of proper care and compensation", from our last Annual Conference on European Tort Law.
 
Publication details are: H. Koziol/B.C. Steininger (eds.), European Tort Law 2008 (Springer, Vienna 2009), ISBN 978-3-211-92797-7.
 
Further info on the Institute website here.
 
Date for your diaries: the 9th Annual Conference on European Tort Law  will be held in Vienna from 8th to 10th April 2010. I'll post further details in due course.
 
Best wishes
Ken
