Arguments raised in such discussions oscillate between two extremes: on the one hand, the need for governing bodies to give a space to entrepreneurial discretion and on the other hand to ensure the protection of investors in and creditors of a company from the consequences of disadvantageous decisions by those bodies. In light of the geographical dispersal of the above stakeholders, the study offers a comparative insight into the liability of directors and officers in 10 key European jurisdictions (in particular, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain and Switzerland) and 4 non-European jurisdictions (namely Brazil, Israel, Turkey and the United States). Amongst other things it investigates existing company law principles on the topic and examines their interaction with tort law and other fields with a view to suggesting principles for better stakeholder protection. National reports are complemented by an economic analysis and insurance, conflict of laws and comparative reports. The study also benefits from case study analyses.Tort and insurance law ;Volume 36.Directors of corporationsLegal status, laws, etcTort liability of corporationsCorporate governanceLaw and legislationExecutives' liability insuranceLaw and legislationElectronic books.Directors of corporationsLegal status, laws, etc.Tort liability of corporations.Corporate governanceLaw and legislation.Executives' liability insuranceLaw and legislation.346.06642Deakin Simon263569Deakin S.
