Evidentiary aspects Bibliography IndexReviews'This is a highly original approach to a pressing problem of legal reasoning: how to decide in a context in which many different values and interests need to be considered. The interdisciplinary approach chosen, using decision theory and adapting it to a legal context, provides a fresh perspective on important issues such as balancing of interests and weighting of different legal values. Firmly grounded in Scandinavian discussions of legal reasoning and the international literature on decision theory, it is particularly relevant to administrative legal decisions, but it may also be relevant to judicial decisionmaking in private or criminal law.' -- Sanne Taekema, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands 'Law is about balancing of interests. How to do this, is considered mainly to be a matter of intuition. This book offers a structured method based on decision theory and fuzzy logic. It helps lawyers to balance interests and make choices in complex cases in a systematic way, even when the weighting is based on subjective ratings and opinions differ fundamentally. The method of multi-criteria analysis is explained in a very clear and accessible way and applied to several, legal and other cases.' -- - Bart van Klink, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands 'Law is about balancing of interests.
