On 20 July 2015, BIICL will host the launch of Matthew Dyson (ed) 'Comparing Tort and Crime'. This work analyses how the fields of Tort and Crime are connected in eight jurisdictions: England, France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Scotland, the Netherlands and Australia. Each country has a chapter where at least one civil and one criminal expert analyse the institutional, reasoning-based, normative, substantive, procedural and outcome-related interactions between tort and crime. The book also contains an introduction on methodology and an in-depth comparative conclusion.
The launch will be a chance to discuss some of the highlights of the book in an academic setting, followed by more informal discussions over drinks.
