  • Human Rights in Private Lawby Daniel Friedmann; Daphne Barak-Erez

    Hart 2002; US$ 172.80

    Traditionally,the theory of human rights limited its application to the public domain, namely the relationships between individuals and public authorities. The great expansion of human rights legislation and concepts in modern national and international law has given rise to a major issue relating to their potential impact on private relationships. This book examines this important topic, which may revolutionize private law. It presents new approaches which strive to broaden the application of human rights to the private field on the ground that power can be abused and human rights can be infringed even when all parties are private. The subject is examined from theoretical and comparative perspectives by leading scholars representing a diversity... more...

  • Mixed Jurisdictions Comparedby Vernon Palmer; Elspeth Reid

    Edinburgh University Press 2009; US$ 114.00

    Returning to a theme featured in some of the earlier volumes in the Edinburgh Studies in Law series, this volume offers an in-depth study of ‘mixed jurisdictions’ – legal systems which combine elements of the Anglo-American Common Law and the European Civil Law traditions. This new collection of essays compares key areas of private law in Scotland and Louisiana. In thirteen chapters, written by distinguished scholars on both sides of the Atlantic, it explores not only legal rules but also the reasons for the rules, discussing legal history, social and cultural factors, and the law in practice, in order to account for patterns of similarity and difference. Contributions are drawn from the Law Schools of Tulane University, Louisiana... more...

  • The Internationalisation of Lawby Mary Hiscock; William Van Caenegem

    Edward Elgar Publishing 2010; US$ 40.00

    This insightful book explores the acute challenges presented by the 'internationalisation' of law, a trend that has been accelerated by the growing requirement for academics and practitioners to work and research across countries and regions with differing legal traditions. The authors have all confronted these challenges of internationalisation through their extensive knowledge and experience in civil law, common law and mixed jurisdictions around the globe. Their analysis of the implications for researchers and teachers, as well as practitioners, law-makers and reformers is original and their different proposals for dealing with the challenges are both practical and at times, radical. This book is a must-read for those exposed to... more...

  • Das Prinzip der Selbstverantwortungby Karl Riesenhuber

    Mohr Siebeck 2012; US$ 68.63

    Hauptbeschreibung Ob Finanzkrise, Europäische Rechtsangleichung, Verbraucherschutz oder Scheidungsfolgen: Selbstverantwortung, das Gegenstück der individuellen Freiheit, ist ein fundamentales Prinzip unserer (Privat-) Rechtsordnung. Indes wird ihr zumeist wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Das mag seinen Grund darin haben, dass man lieber das Süße als das Bittere betont, auch wenn beides untrennbar miteinander verbunden ist. Ein anderer Grund mag aber (laut v. Hayek ) darin liegen, dass die Wertschätzung für die Freiheit gesunken ist. more...

  • Rights and Private Lawby Donal Nolan; Andrew Robertson

    Hart 2011; US$ 204.00

    In recent years a strand of thinking has developed in private law scholarship which has come to be known as 'rights' or 'rights-based' analysis. Rights analysis seeks to develop an understanding of private law obligations that is driven, primarily or excl more...
