Pure economic loss is one of the most-discussed problems in the fields of tort and contract, but despite this there has never been an internationally accepted definition of the concept, with several legal systems failing to recognize it as an autonomous form of damage.This book takes a comparative approach to the subject, exploring the principles, policies and rules governing tortious liability for pure economic loss in a number of countries and legal systems across the world. The countries covered are USA, Canada, Japan, Israel, South Africa, Japan, Romania, Croatia, Denmark and Poland, with the contributors taking a comparative fact-based approach through the use of hypothetical problems to analyze and then summarize the individual country's tort approach.
