Förlagets information

Vicarious Liability for Group Torts examines the possibility to apply ordinary tort law rules, including vicarious liability theories, on the corporate group. The book analyzes the existing methods of reaching the pockets of parent company for subsidiary faults and then ask whether tort law could play a bigger role in holding the corporate group responsible. This question is debated based on a concurrency theory where the traditional veil piercing theory and tort law theories are treated as equivalent routes for liability – not as being in conflict with one another.

This question is debated based on a concurrency theory where the traditional veil piercing theory and tort law theories are treated as equivalent routes for liability – not as being in conflict with one another. The research finds that there are no insuperable obstacles in applying tort law on the corporate group. However, some adjustments will be required to overcome the limits imposed by the general principle of limited liability.
