Description for The Division of Wrongs. A Historical Comparative Study.
Civilian Law, in contrast to common law, structures its law of wrongs according to degree of blameworthiness. This book explores the history of this structure from Roman law to modern French law, and argues that adopting such a division would clarify confusions in the common law of torts. Num Pages: 328 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: LAM; LAZ; LNV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate.
