The European Group on Tort Law (formerly
also called "Tilburg Group") is a group of scholars
in the area of tort law established in 1992. The group meets regularly to discuss
fundamental issues of tort law liability as well as recent developments and the future
directions of the law of tort. The Group has drafted a collection of
Principles of European Tort Law similar to the Principles of
European Contract Law drafted by the European Contract Law
Commission
("Lando Commission").
The Group co-operates with the
European Centre
of Tort and Insurance Law in Vienna. Within the framework of this
cooperation, the Group
presented the Principles in a public conference on May 19
and 20, 2005, in Vienna.
