This book examines the law on compensation for administrative wrongdoing from a comparative law perspective. Particular account is taken of the increasing influence of human rights law, European Community law and international law.

Administrative law permeates all areas of law, and this series focuses on its role both regionally and globally. This volume considers tort liabilities in European public authorities. It looks at several European countries, using case studies to compare administrative laws across the EU.

This study explores the understanding of the law of extra-contractual liability as it applies to public authorities in the legal systems of Europe (and selected non-European jurisdictions).

This work, dealing with financial claims against government, is set against the background of recent developments in the European Community. It covers in detail the rules governing the civil liability of public bodies, under both domestic law and the law of the EC. As well as discussing general principles, the book also offers chapters devoted to public procurement; employment and the Crown Service; negligence claims against public bodies; compensation for breach of public duties; special government torts; liability under Community law; restitutory claims against government; and Crown proceedings.
