Non-contractual obligations in the European legal system from the times of Roman law to Rome II Regulation

The adoption of Regulation (EC) №864 / 2007 of the European Parliament and Council of 11 July 2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations became an important step in the legislative and doctrinal evolution of non-contractual obligations. Analysis of the historical development of this institution helps to understand the approaches that were the basis for the modern understanding of the grounds of certain non-contractual obligations, approaches to the classification of non-contractual obligations and their implementation in the legislation of continental Europe as well as in European countries of Anglo-Saxon legal system.
