Content
The course includes study and in-depth analysis of the function of damages and its important tort law foundations, such as adequate causality and theories of purpose of protection. Important forms of liability, such as culpa liability, strict responsibility and vicarious liability, will also be addressed as well as studied and analysed more in depth. In connection with this part of the course, general issues concerning the dynamic border between contractual and non-contractual liability for damages will also be covered.
