Download or read book Economic Analysis of Tort Law written by Malabika Pal and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the negligence concept of tort law and studies the efficiency issue arising from the determination of negligence. It does so by scrutinizing actual court decisions from three common law jurisdictions – Britain, India and the United States of America. This volume fills a very significant gap, scrutinizing 52 landmark judgments from these three countries, by focussing on the negligent affliction of economic loss determined by common law courts and how these findings relate to the existing theoretical literature. By doing so, it examines the formalization of legal concepts in theory, primarily the question of negligence determination and liability, and their centrality in theories concerning tort law. This book will be very helpful for students, professors and practitioners of law, jurisprudence and legal theory. It will additionally be of use to researchers and academics interested in law and economics, procedure and legal history.

Download or read book Economic Analysis of Accident Law written by Steven Shavell and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accident law, if properly designed, is capable of reducing the incidence of mishaps by making people act more cautiously. Scholarly writing on this branch of law traditionally has been concerned with examining the law for consistency with felt notions of right and duty. Since the 1960s, however, a group of legal scholars and economists have focused on identifying the effects of accident law on people's behavior. Steven Shavell's book is the definitive synthesis of research to date in this new field.
Download or read book Tort Law and Economic Interests written by Peter Cane and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1996 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the way in which the law of torts protects financial assets such as money, property, and contracts. It focuses on the interests protected and does not follow the usual textbook arrangement of the law according to the various torts (such as trespass, negligence, and defamation). The discussion goes well beyond the debate about about recovery for economic loss in negligence as it places that debate in a much wider context. The introduction explains the notion of economic interests and why this has been chosen as the focus of attention. The second part gives an account of the relevant rules of tort law while the third part examines the relationship between tort law and other techniques for protecting economic interests such as regulation and insurance. The final part discusses the aims and functions of tort law. Many of the issues discussed receive very little attention in most tort texts.
Download or read book Strict Liability written by Frank J. Vandall and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-10-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a cogent analysis of the legal and economic consequences arising from expansion in the doctrine of strict liability and the corresponding decrease in the importance of proving fault. Vandall's goal is to illuminate the role of strict liability in the largely unheralded and informal development of the American compensation system. To this end, he examines and explains the widening of strict liability during the last 121 years, with particular emphasis on the past 29 years. Vandall begins with a historical overview of strict liability, arguing that the policies which have supported the growth of strict liability within products liability also support its application in other areas. By comparing and contrasting the U.S. and British compensation systems, he shows that the U.S. has been drawn towards the adoption of strict liability because it lacks socialized medicine. Subsequent chapters set forth various tests for strict liability and critique the negligence-efficiency theory. Turning to a discussion of contemporary practice, Vandall sets out the present scope of strict liability and asserts that a case can be made for the extension of strict liability far beyond the area of products liability. Finally, Vandall evaluates the reforms aimed at strict liability over the last ten years and concludes that the suggested return to negligence is unwarranted and not supported by facts.
Download or read book The Economic Structure of Tort Law written by William M. Landes and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a lawyer and an economist, this is the first full-length economic study of tort law--the body of law that governs liability for accidents and for intentional wrongs such as battery and defamation. Landes and Posner propose that tort law is best understood as a system for achieving an efficient allocation of resources to safety--that, on the whole, rules and doctrines of tort law encourage the optimal investment in safety by potential injurers and potential victims. The book contains both a comprehensive description of the major doctrines of tort law and a series of formal economic models used to explore the economic properties of these doctrines. All the formal models are translated into simple commonsense terms so that the "math less" reader can follow the text without difficulty; legal jargon is also avoided, for the sake of economists and other readers not trained in the law. Although the primary focus is on explaining existing doctrines rather than on exploring their implementation by juries, insurance adjusters, and other "real world" actors, the book has obvious pertinence to the ongoing controversies over damage awards, insurance rates and availability, and reform of tort law-in fact it is an essential prerequisite to sound reform. Among other timely topics, the authors discuss punitive damage awards in products liability cases, the evolution of products liability law, and the problem of liability for "mass disaster" torts, such as might be produced by a nuclear accident. More generally, this book is an important contribution to the "law and economics" movement, the most exciting and controversial development in modern legal education and scholarship, and will become an obligatory reference for all who are concerned with the study of tort law.
