The Unification of Tort Law Series was the first publication series of the European Group on Tort Law. The European Group (formerly also called "Tilburg Group") is a group of leading tort law academics from civil law, common law and mixed legal systems established in 1992. The Group meets regularly to discuss fundamental issues of tort law liability as well as recent developments and the future directions of the law of tort. The Group’s members believe that the advancement of European tort law is of major relevance to European citizens and the European economy. As one of its main projects, the Group has drafted a collection of Principles of European Tort Law (PETL) similar to the Principles of European Contract Law drafted by the European Contract Law Commission ("Lando Commission"). The Institute for European Tort Law closely co-operates with the European Group on Tort Law and supports the publication of its publication series.
