Abstract

As the Overview1 points out, there cannot be said to exist any systematic EC Tort law, which presents the most obvious difficulty in comparing that category with an established, municipal system. As it is aptly put,2 “the emphasis might be put on ‘EC’ rather than ‘tort’ law”. In other words, where there is EC activity in a particular area it may follow that there are provisions of EC law which would or might be classified by the municipal lawyer as “tort” but they are essentially interstitial and looked at from a broad tort viewpoint, appear almost random.
