In this volume, the authors provide an overview of the law governing multiple tortfeasors seen from the angle of fifteen legal systems. The law has two aspects: the "external" one relating to the relationship between the victim and the tortfeasors, particularly the question of how far each is liable to the victim for the whole damage; and the "internal" relationship of the tortfeasors, raising issues of recourse interse. Each country report consists of an account of the theoretical basis of the law in this area, together with an examination of its operation via a variety of factual situations. There is also comparative report which summarizes the most important elements identified by the country reports and identifies the existing common ground.Rogers, W. V.
