Description

The interaction between engineering and the law is undergoing dramatic changes.

Product liability, laws have been introduced in Japan, patent claims over living organisms have been made in bioengineering and the differing national laws of copyright protection and liability are in the process of harmonisation, especially in the European Union. The pace and complexity of these changes make it essential for technologists, lawyers, engineers and insurance experts to establish a common basis for understanding, co-operation and exchange of expertise.

The recently founded International Society for Technology, Law and Insurance aims to foster such co-operation.

This volume features 46 selected contributions which address various topical issues and the law.

The most important issues relate to engineering risks, quality assurance and assessment and legal implications assiciated with them.

Recent failure cases are explained and the technical, legal and insurance-related issues discussed in detail.
