The goal of this study is to provide a general overview and thorough analysis of how the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) deals with tort law issues such as damage, causation, wrongfulness and fault, the protective purpose of rules, the compensation of pecuniary and non-pecuniary loss, non-compensatory remedies, reduction of damages due to contributory negligence and reduction clauses - namely when applying Art. 41 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
These issues will be examined on the basis of a comprehensive selection and detailed analysis of the Court's judgments.
The results of the above analysis will be compared with different national legal systems (Austria, Belgium, England and Wales, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Romania, Scandinavia, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey), the EC Tort Law and the Principles of European Tort Law.
Methodological approaches to the tort law of the ECHR as well as the perspectives of human rights and tort law and public international law are addressed in three special reports (two of which are also translated in German). Concluding remarks are included.
