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. 410 0$aTort and insurance law$vVolume 36 606 $aDirectors of corporations$xLegal status, laws, etc 606 $aTort liability of corporations 606 $aCorporate governance$xLaw and legislation 606 $aExecutives' liability insurance$xLaw and legislation 610 $aTort Law. 615 0$aDirectors of corporations$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aTort liability of corporations. 615 0$aCorporate governance$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aExecutives' liability insurance$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a346.06642 686 $aLAW087000$2bisacsh 700 $aDeakin$b Simon$0263569 702 $aDeakin$b S.
