Mass Tort Resolution: Competition Between Jurisdictions and Mechanisms /Wagner, Gerhard --List of Contributors --Index --Publicationsin recent years, there has been a growing interest in the legal aspects of mass torts in Europe. Both academics, legislatures, courts and policymakers throughout the whole of Europe have been struggling with the challenges that such ,massification' of private law relationships poses both in and outside of tort law. The subject moves between the law of civil procedure, substantive tort law, access to justice debates and regulatory frameworks for mass disputes. This volume offers both a caleidoscopic review of real-life key cases of mass tort and an in-depth reflection on the broader implications of mass tort in Europe. Thus, the challenges posed by mass torts are explored, mapped and analysed.Tort and insurance law ;Volume 34.Class actions (Civil procedure)EuropeClass actions (Civil procedure)EuropeCasesTortsEuropeTortsEuropeCasesElectronic books.Class actions (Civil procedure)Class actions (Civil procedure)TortsTorts347.053Boom Willem van1031412Wagner Gerhard1962-Boldon JennyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464735203321Mass torts in Europe2448780UNINA
