Fundamental Texts on European Private Law
By
Oliver Radley-Gardner, Reinhard Zimmermann and Hug
Description
Among the most
significant legal developments of our time is the emergence of a
European private law. The European Union enacts directives which
profoundly affect the practice,teaching and study of core areas of
\\\'classical\\\' private law. Internationally commissions have formulated
principles of European trusts, contract and commercial law.
Furthermore, uniform private law can be found in a number of
international conventions.
This book gathers
together fundamental texts from these three sources into one
convenient volume. Its emphasis is on general civil and commercial
law, particularly on the obligations and property aspects of these.
Fully updated, it contains the recent directives in the areas of
E-Commerce, Electronic Signatures and Late Payments. It also makes
available for the first time English language versions of a number of
texts by international commissions.
This book is a
sister volume to the original German and the subsequent Spanish
version. With full references to the implementation of the directives
in Denmark, EIRE, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom, this book
will be a useful resource for practitioners, students and teachers
working in the field of European private law.
