Eminent lawyers from academia, international judiciary and legal practice join up to honour Professor Mads Andenas QC (Hon) on the occasion of his 65th birthday in 2022. Contributions form a cutting edge volume across legal disciplines to last beyond the immediate occasion.
The general private law of tort and delict is subject to a transformation where the traditional national framework is becoming gradually less relevant. Much of the modernisation of private law takes place not at the domestic level but at a European or international level such as in international commercial conventions or EU consumer protection legislation. Remedies in regulatory law are becoming ever more important. The role of the European Court of Justice in developing general principles of contract and tort is ever increasing. Tort liability is an important subject of international conventions with the case law of the International Court of Justice developing general principles of tort liability in public international law.
