Dear All,
Following on Paula's heels... you are warmly invited to the launch of
Comparing Tort and Crime, 20 July 2015, BIICL 5-6.30pm.
On 20 July 2015, 5-6.30pm the British Institute of International and
Comparative Law in London will host the launch of M Dyson (ed) Comparing
Tort and Crime, published by CUP. The work analyses how the fields of
Tortand Crime are connected in eight jurisdictions: England, France,
Germany, Sweden, Spain, Scotland, the Netherlands and Australia. Each
country has a chapter where at least one civil and one criminal expert
analyse the institutional, reasoning-based, normative, substantive,
procedural and outcome-related interactions between tort and crime. The
book also contains an introduction on methodology and an in-depth
comparative conclusion. The launch will be a chance to discuss some of
the highlights of the book in an academic setting, followed by more
informal discussions over drinks. Those speaking will be:
Chair: Lord Reed, Justice of the Supreme Court
