Dear Colleagues:

 

List members might be interested in these two new titles from Hart:

 

The Foundations of Tort Law in the Civilian Tradition  

A Comparative Perspective

Enrique Barros

 

The leading Spanish-language treatise on the law on torts has now been translated to English, making it accessible to jurists, scholars, and practitioners throughout the world.

 

It addresses the central analytical questions in modern tort theory by reference to first principles, explaining how doctrinal tension has resulted from the law's evolution. It also offers a theoretical framework for understanding and analysing the doctrines behind the main tort rules found in different jurisdictions, including their interrelationship and historical development. Steeped in Chilean legal doctrine and case law on torts, it considers authorities from Britain, Germany, the USA, France, and Spain.

 

Enrique Barros is Professor of Civil Law at the University of Chile.

EU Consumer Protection in Computing Contracts  

Consumers in the Cloud

Tomasz Dolny

 

This book assesses whether EU consumer law effectively protects consumers in cloud computing contracts.

 

From music subscriptions and streaming services to online gaming and social networks, cloud-based services are an integral part of our daily lives. Understanding the legal landscape of cloud computing is therefore crucial.

 

The book looks at the entire lifecycle of a cloud computing contract, highlighting critical consumer problems, such as unclear information, service availability, data integrity, and unbalanced contract terms.

 

Written for legal scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and market participants, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of EU law provisions on cloud computing contracts.

 

Tomasz Dolny is Deputy Head of Unit at the Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and the Capital Markets Union of the European Commission (DG FISMA), Belgium.
