H.W.V. Rogers (Ed.), Damages for
Non-Pecuniary Loss in a Comparative Perspective, Springer,
Wien / New York 2001
How should loss, which
cannot be expressed in money, be compensated? How should pain be
financially assessed? Questions which are increasingly gaining
significance. The volume focuses on bodily injury, non-pecuniary
loss and compensation in an overview of the various provisions in
Europe written by leading international experts as authors. At the
centre of the presentation is non-pecuniary loss. These losses,
not measurable in money, are examined in country reports written
by leading international experts. These reports are supplemented
by a comprehensive comparative report and a discussion concerning
the harmonisation or standardisation of compensation for
non-pecuniary loss. The volume provides important ideas for future
developments. The questions of to what extent the various European
legal systems have general principles in the area of non-pecuniary
loss or whether there are rather special provisions for certain
circumstances are dealt with. In this context the volume examines
how far the presence of such special provisions allows conclusions
concerning the position or the significance of non-pecuniary loss
in the various legal systems. Whether, and to what extent
compensation of non-pecuniary loss is seen as a necessary function
or is only regarded as secondary in comparison to compensation for
loss of income and expenses is also analysed. Special significance
is given to the admissibility, in principle, of and the provisions
relating to the compensation of non-pecuniary loss in the case of
bodily injury.
