Full Description
The final volume in this series addresses, on the one hand, the issues relating to 'shifts' in compensation systems at a more general level, and on the other hand, addresses shifts in particular domains. This book offers an overarching analysis of tort liability and no-fault compensation as related to other shifts in compensation systems. It brings together lawyers and economists thus providing a multidisciplinary approach to tort law and alternative instruments.
