| 520 | |a "Uncertainty is present in nearly every tort litigation; this book confronts the issue, at both doctrinal and policy levels. It presents and critically examines the existing doctrinal solutions of the problem and offers a number of original solutions to the problem, such as imposition of collective liability and liability for evidential damage. It also combines the traditional doctrinal depiction of the law, as evolved in England, Canada, United States, and Israel, with general theoretical insights."--Descripción del editor. | ||
