Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of
Laws, this book provides ready access to how the legal dimension of
prevention against harm and loss allocation is treated in Serbia. This
traditional branch of law not only tackles questions which concern
every lawyer, whatever his legal expertise, but also concerns each
person’s most fundamental rights on a worldwide scale.
Following a general introduction that probes the distinction between
tort and crime and the relationship between tort and contract, the
monograph describes how the concepts of fault and unlawfulness, and of
duty of care and negligence, are dealt with in both the legislature
and the courts. The book then proceeds to cover specific cases of
liability, such as professional liability, liability of public bodies,
abuse of rights, injury to reputation and privacy, vicarious
liability, liability of parents and teachers, liability for
handicapped persons, product liability, environmental liability, and
liability connected with road and traffic accidents. Principles of
causation, grounds of justification, limitations on recovery,
assessment of damages and compensation, and the role of private
insurance and social security are all closely considered.
Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of
the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for
lawyers in Serbia. Academics and researchers will also welcome this
very useful guide, and will appreciate its value not only as a
contribution to comparative law but also as a stimulus to
harmonization of the rules on tort.
