Preface


The Journal of European  Tort Law  is the official journal of the European
Centre of Tort and Insurance Law  (ECTIL)  and the Institute for European
Tort Law (ETL)  of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. It aims to contribute to
the analysis and development of tort law in Europe by the publication of
scholarly articles, comments and reviews. Its focus is primarily comparative,
but it will also publish analyses of the tort law of single legal systems where the
subject matter is of sufficient interest to the Journal's general readership.
Comparative  analyses of non-European systems from the perspective of Eu-
ropean tort law will also appear from time to time. The Journal embraces all
scholarly perspectives, including economic analysis of law and socio-legal
studies. Its subject matter is both substantive tort law, including its place in the
general law of obligations, and the wider tort system, including its practical
operation and its relationship with such institutions as private and social in-
surance.
