Debt and tort law in Gothenburg

Debts must be paid (pacta sunt servanda), but sometimes claims must still be enforced legally. Damages are compensation intended to put the injured party in the same financial position as if the damage had never occurred. Tort law, in the broader sense, comprises the rules on such compensation. In addition to the Tort Liability Act, tort-law rules and principles can be found in many special statutes and contracts, including the Environmental Code and the Expropriation Act.
