Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This Research Agenda indicates key directions for future investigation in tort law, with particular focus on the ways in which laws could and should assign responsibility for injury and regulate safety. Bringing together leading international experts, this book maps out key challenges of emerging developments in tort law and theory.Drawing on perspectives from a wide range of common-law countries, the contributing authors investigate the extent to which societal, theoretical, organisational, doctrinal and technological change will transform the landscape in which tort law operates. They explore how tort law is continually reshaped by litigants, lawyers, judges and legislators in response to the changing cultural, economic and political conditions in which it operates. Amongst other key topics, chapters analyse the ways in which AI will affect the application and development of tort doctrines, how tort claims play out in real-world litigation and how tradeoffs between tort law and compensation systems can address the problem of accidental injury.A Research Agenda for Tort Law is a vital resource for law students and emerging scholars looking to further their understanding of current debates in the field.

‘The development of new and potentially disruptive technologies seems to be accelerating just as occurred at the end of the 19th century with the industrial revolutions. Just as tort law played an important role with the new technology of the industrial revolution, tort law will play an important role with today’s (and tomorrow’s) technology. The editors of A Research Agenda for Tort Law have assembled an impressive international cast of torts scholars to consider how the law will assist society in the transformations that are now at our doorstep.’
