The book explores the legal frameworks surrounding compensation for personal injury across England, Germany, and Italy. It provides a comparative analysis of each country's laws, highlighting the differences and similarities in their approaches to personal injury claims. Through this examination, readers gain insights into the legal principles and practices that govern compensation in these three jurisdictions, making it a valuable resource for legal professionals and scholars interested in international personal injury law.

The book addresses the increasing prevalence of cross-border personal injury claims, particularly as European nationals participate in U.S. class actions. It highlights the lack of resources available to legal practitioners regarding recoverable damages in different jurisdictions. By examining the laws of England, Germany, and Italy, it provides a comprehensive overview of tort law and its implications. The introduction presents essential data within the broader context, while the concluding chapter focuses on methodological issues and offers comparative insights.

This volume provides essays on fundamental rights, on European and Italian contract law, and on the lawyer’s role in contemporary society being the result of research carried out from a lawyer’s perspective in recent years. As fundamental rights are the same principles upon which rests the entire EU law, encoded in many written national constitutions or statute laws, they pervade all legal relations, including relations governed by private law. Furthermore, they invest the contract law as well, i. e. the ancient realm of freedom, particularly freedom of contract, involving jurists of every profession: the legislator, judges, lawyers and academic professors.

The proposal from the European Commission for a Regulation on a Common European Sales Law (CESL) has raised divergent reactions from various parties across Europe. This volume contributes actively to this discussion, offering the lawyers' point of view. The book promotes a debate and an exchange of views among representatives from the European Commission, the European Parliament, and legal practitioners regarding the main legal issues of the CESL. The outcome is a dialogue where general concerns (such as: Do we need a CESL? Can the CESL achieve what it sets out to do? etc.) receive articulate answers considering both theoretical and practical implications of the CESL.
