Abstract

The long-running debate concerning the scope of the economic loss

rule' presents issues which are important in themselves and as illustrations

of broader questions.2 Litigants and commentators champion the opposing

schools of thought through close analysis of precedent;3 the exchange of

views as to the nature of tort law and contract law;4 and occasionally,

economic analysis.
