Reasonable Care: Legal Perspectives on the Doctor-Patient Relationship
ISBN: 9780198255789 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

State Liability: Tort Law and Beyond
ISBN: 9780199272648 / Angielski / Twarda / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The lectures presented in this volume examine the fast-growing compensation culture and the consequential pressure on courts to widen the range of situations in which individuals can claim damages from the State. Pressure on domestic legal systems has been further increased by transnational courts. Carol Harlow argues that this trend towards judicialization is undesirable, and that greater use should be made of extrajudicial remedies. She contends that the issue of compensation is too important to be left to the courts.
