Principles of European Tort Law
- Principles of European Tort Law
The Principles of European Tort Law (PETL) are a compilation of guidelines by the European Group on Tort Law aiming at the harmonization of European tort law. They are not intended to serve as a model code, even though their wording may resemble statutory texts. At least with respect to form and structure, they resemble a U.S. Restatement of the law.
The Principles of European Tort Law shall serve as a common framework for the further development of national tort laws, but also of singular European legislation, which could avoid a further drifting-apart of piece-meal rule-making both on a national as well as on the European level.
The [http://www.egtl.org/Principles/index.htm text of the Principles] is available in several languages on the website of the [http://www.egtl.org European Group on Tort Law] . A commentary to the Principles was published by the Group in 2005 (ISBN 978-3-211-23084-8).
