Features: This textbook aims to introduce the basic content of tort law while also helping to meet the needs of candidates preparing for tort law exams. Therefore, the core content of this book is the foundation of various tort claims. When discussing each claim provision, it follows a consistent structure throughout the book: first, an introduction on the "function of the legal provision," followed by a section on "preconditions as constitutive elements of the claim." After listing and emphasizing the most important constitutive elements, a detailed discussion is provided. In describing the issues, special attention is given to case studies from judicial practice, which form an important part of this book. Because almost no other legal department in the Civil Code is as deeply influenced by judicial practice as tort law, this book introduces numerous factual scenarios and their judicial reasoning (citing the original text when necessary). By establishing a "stage" for tort law, this book aims to present the material of tort law in a vivid and practice-oriented manner, while also serving as a case collection containing the most important judicial precedents in tort law.
