- Summary
- The aim of this book is to study how a dozen legal systems have dealt with the problem of providing a financial remedy for individuals who have suffered injury of loss as a result of government activity. The original inspiration for the book came from a collquium on the subject of governmental liability, compensation and the law of civil wrongs, held at Birmingham University in September 1985 under the auspices of the UK National Committee for Comparative Law.
