Abstract:
The Rome II Regulation on the Law Applicable to Non-Contractual Obligations introduces a single choice-of-law regime for tort and other non-contractual obligations. The Regulation has huge implications for international litigation relating to traffic accidents, product liability, environmental damage and infringement of intellectual property rights, for example. This book contains analysis of the Regulation by 15 experts from Europe and North America. It examines the core concepts and assesses the likely impact of the Regulation on claims for tort and unjust enrichment. It will be of interest to legal practitioners, academics and students.
