Pointoflaw's Walter Olson notes here items related to an Irish article describing Lloyds of London's Chariman as griping out about the amount of tort litigation in Ireland of late. As to global tort litigation, the key quote is this:
"Tort costs are expanding around the world at twice the rate of the global economy. Added to this is the fact that US legal jurisdiction is trying to creep outwards."
