Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of European Tort Law focuses on the analysis and comparative assessment of tort law, particularly in European contexts. Recent articles examine product liability directives, including their application to digital realities and medicinal products. The journal also explores fault-based and strict liability, especially in relation to artificial intelligence and environmental pollution from persistent substances like PFAS. Further topics include parental liability for minors' actions, the intersection of tort law and human rights in climate litigation, and theoretical underpinnings of tort law, such as reasonableness and risk.
