Romano, Alessandro. "Quantum tort law: the law of torts in a probabilistic world." Doctoral thesis, Luiss Guido Carli, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/11385/201082.

Full text
Abstract:
Despite the findings of natural scientists and philosophers, the law of torts is still clinging on a strictly deterministic (in the Laplacian sense) idea of the world. Probabilistic considerations are not alien to the legal world, yet they are generally regarded as ad hoc exceptions to handle particularly complex cases. From this perspective, this thesis advocates the need for a theoretical shift. A probabilistic approach to reality should become the norm, whereas determinism should only be considered a heuristic tool when confronted with prima facie deterministic cases. In Chapter II it is s

Abstract:
The New Zealand Court of Appeal has recently acknowledged the existence of a freestanding tort of invasion of privacy in Hosking v Runting. The tort is in its infancy and the courts are still grappling with essential problems, the most prominent of which is the conflict with countervailing interests in freedom of speech. In need of guidance, the courts turn to overseas authorities, predominantly from the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The commonly found descriptive nature of the comparison invites a broader analysis of these jurisdictions. In this thesis, I offer a theoretica

Abstract:
The purpose of the thesis is to examine problems related to the liability of multinational enterprises (MNEs) for their subsidiaries' torts. The reason for the existence of the problems is that the legal theories and practice fail to understand interdisciplinary features of MNEs. Thus, there have been no satisfactory solutions to the problem of tort liability of MNEs. In order to understand the questions of liability, there should be an examination of the concept of multinational enterprise using interdisciplinary methodology. Thus, the thesis, in the first section, examines the social, econom

This paper looks at Texas tort law reform to make claims regarding the relationship between Texas tort reform and damages recovered. Starting with reform in 1977, Texas has passed 15 pieces of legislation that, in principle, restrict the damages plaintiffs recover. Most empirical analyses have focused primarily on analyzing behavior resulting from the tort reform. In other cases, research has looked at the impact the most recent reform has had on damages recovered in medical malpractice lawsuits.

In this paper, I use data from the Florida Closed Claims Database to investigate how Florida’s 2003 non-economic damage cap legislation impacted elderly malpractice claimants. More specifically, I measure whether or not non-economic damage caps adversely impact claimants in counties with high elderly densities. To measure the effect of Florida’s non-economic damage caps, I look at multiple metrics that measure both elderly claimants’ monetary gains and their access to the justice system after the reform is passed. I find mildly conclusive evidence that counties with higher elderly density, and

Competition between trade rivals in a marketplace operating within a common law-based legal system is regulated primarily by two fairly distinct branches of the law: the prohibitions against anti-competitive conduct imposed by the competition law framework, and the common law restraints against acts of “unfair competition” that attract liability under the economic torts. This dissertation aims to critically examine both these legal frameworks and provide an integrated account of how these branches of the law distinguish between lawful and unlawful modes of competitive conduct.

Corrective justice is necessary because it is the only principle that can adequately justify the bilateral structure of tort litigation between claimants and defendants, and full compensatory damages as the default remedy in most tort systems. However, it is argued that the critiques to corrective justice lead us to the important lesson that tort law is more than just corrective justice. Three gaps of corrective justice ar
