Abstract/Description:

The European Group on Tort law presented the Principles on European Tort Law (PETL) in Vienna in May 2005. This chapter describes the work of the group which reconvened in 2009 to work on expanding the PETL’s scope and updating and refining its content in the light of subsequent scholarly debates and developments in national and European Union law. In the years to come, the group aims to publish a series of preliminary studies on topics not addressed in the initial edition of the PETL or otherwise warranting consideration, culminating with the publication of a revised and expanded edition of the PETL by the end of this decade.
