How do we understand the various differences and similarities between these systems and what is the extent to which there is a common-core of agreement on this question?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book takes a comparative approach to the subject, exploring the principles, policies and rules governing tortious liability for pure economic loss in a number of countries and legal systems across the world. The countries covered are USA, Canada, Japan, Israel, South Africa, Japan, Romania, Croatia, Denmark and Poland, with the contributors taking a comparative fact-based approach through the use of hypothetical problems to analyze and then summarize the individual country's tort approach. Using a fact-based questionnaire, a tested taxonomy, and a sophisticated comparative law methodology, the authors convincingly demonstrate that there are liberal, pragmatic and conservative regimes throughout the world. The recoverability of pure economic loss poses a generic question for these legal systems - it is not just a civil law versus common law issue. It will be of interest to students and academics studying tort law and comparative law in the different countries covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vernon Valentine Palmer, Mauro Bussani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415574587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415574587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge Cavendish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.71d","brand":"Vernon Valentine Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056081137919,"sku":"9780415574587","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e1e00e8-1b36-429f-bde1-44a00399ee00.jpg?v=1685039405","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pure-economic-loss-vernon-valentine-palmer-9780415574587","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
