  • Restitution in Private International Lawby George Panagopoulos

    Hart 2000; US$ 172.80

    This important new book fills a large gap in legal literature by examining restitution in private international law,including both the jurisdiction and choice of law questions facing restitutionary claims with international elements. The book begins with a brief summary of the English domestic law of restitution and highlights some of the issues which may arise. It goes on to examine classification, or characterisation of restitutionary claims.. Restitution has a theoretical unity which enables the author to treat it essentially as a single issue for characterisation purposes. However, restitutionary claims arise in the context of contracts and wrongs; they may be at law or in equity; they may give rise to personal or proprietary remedies,... more...

    Mohr Siebeck 2007; US$ 79.35

    Hauptbeschreibung Thomas Hirse untersucht die Ausweichklauseln und die durch sie aufgeworfenen Fragen in der allgemeinen Kollisionsrechtslehre. Er setzt sich im Rahmen der Problematik der Konkretisierung dieser kollisionsrechtlichen Generalklauseln umfassend mit dem Stand der allgemeinen Methodenlehre im Kollisionsrecht auseinander. Als Ausweichklauseln sind solche gesetzlich fixierten Kollisionsnormen anzusehen, die im Einzelfall ausnahmsweise die Anwendung einer anderen als anhand einer ebenfalls gesetzlich fixierten Regelverweisung ermittelten Rechtsordnung zulassen, nämlich der, mit welcher der konkrete Sachverhalt eine wesentlich engere Verbindung im Sinne des Savignyschen Anknüpfungsprinzips besitzt. Trotz der im IPR generell erhöhten... more...
