Dear Colleagues:

Congratulations go out to Sandy Steel on the publication of Proof of Causation in Tort Law (2015) by CUP. CUP has graciously offered a 20% discount to ODGers who use the attached order form. Here is a brief description of the book:

• Offers an incisive description and analysis of a difficult area of tort law, explaining highly complex legal material
• Compares different approaches to uncertainty over causation in English, French and German tort law
• Provides a clear analysis of the scope of exceptions to the requirement that the claimant prove causation
Causation is a foundational concept in tort law: a claimant must demonstrate that the defendant’s conduct was a cause of the harm suffered in order for damages to be awarded. Proof of Causation in Tort Law provides a critical, comparative and theoretical analysis of the general rules of causation underlying the tort laws of England, Germany and France, as well as the exceptional departures from these rules which each system has made. Exploring the different approaches to uncertainty over causation in tort law, Sandy Steel defends the justifiability of these exceptions, and categorises and examines the kinds of exceptional rules suggested by the case law and literature. Critically engaged with both the theoretical literature and current legal doctrine, this book will be of interest to private law scholars, judges and legal practitioners.

Happy Reading,

--
