Legislative and Judicial Remedies for Environmental Torts Victims. A study in the framework of EU-China Cooperation

This book deals with the issue of regimes of liabilities in the field of environmental tort. The study is made in a comparative perspective. In particular European Environmental Liability and Chinese Environmental Liability regimes are considered and analysed with regard to the following specific topics: concepts of environmental damage, types and rules of liability, systems of remedies, procedures. Several essays analyse the aforementioned aspects in the perspective of harmonisation of Environmental legislation, legal transplants, circulation of legal models. A specific attention is devoted to the implementation problems, especially at the judiciary level, where several differentiations still mark the "laws in action" in spite of a progressively converging "laws in the books".
