Fundamental legal problems of surrogate motherhood. Global perspective.
The observation that mater semper certa est remains accurate under most legal systems in the world. Maternity is defined as the personal status (filiation) of a woman who gave birth to a child. It is typically complemented by the fatherhood of the man from whom the child biologically originates (often quem nuptiae demonstrant). However, in some states, a kind of competitive way of acquiring the legal status of mother and father (or “homosexual parents A and B”) has been introduced via concluding a contract with a surrogate mother. Usually with a woman coming from poorer societies and with the assistance of professional intermediaries and organizers. The postulates to change substantive f...
Contractualisation of Family Law - Global Perspectives
This volume presents global and comparative perspectives on the perpetual pendular movement of family law between status and contract. It contributes to the topical academic debate on ‘family law exceptionalism’ by exploring the blurred lines between public law, private law and family law, and sheds light on the many shades of grey that exist. The contributions focus on both substantive and procedural family law on parents and children and on life partners, with particular attention for contractual arrangements of family formations and of conflict resolution. The hypothesis underlying all contributions was the trend towards contractualisation of family law. A convergent research outcome ...
Acquisition and Loss of Ownership of Goods
This volume contains the major result of the work undertaken by the international research group "Transfer of Movables" which belonged to the Study Group on a European Civil Code. It covers the most important aspects of the law of property in movables, such as the transfer of ownership based on the transferor's right and the good faith acquisition of ownership. The suggested black letter provisions are accompanied by extensive explanatory comments and comparative notes providing information on the existing rules of the EU Member States. As compared to Book VIII of the DCFR, this volume contains additional and partly revised national notes, extended comments, translations of the black letter rules and adapted registers. The "Principles of European Law" are published in co-operation with Oxford University Press and Staempfli (Switzerland).

Intestate Succession
Intestate Succession is the second volume in the Comparative Succession Law series which examines the principles of succession law from a comparative and historical perspective. This volume discusses the rules which apply where a person dies either without leaving a valid will, or leaving a will which fails to dispose of all of the person's assets. Among the questions considered are the following: What is the nature of the rules for the disposal of the deceased's assets? Are they mechanical or is there an element of discretion? Are particular types of property dealt with in particular ways? Is there entitlement to individual assets (as opposed to money)? Do the rules operate in a parentelic ...

General Reports of the XIXth Congress of the International Academy of Comparative Law Rapports Généraux du XIXème Congrès de l'Académie Internationale de Droit Comparé
This book deals with convergences of legal doctrine despite jurisdictional, cultural, and political barriers, and of divergences due to such barriers, examining topics that are of vital importance to contemporary legal scholars. Written by leading scholars from more than twenty countries, its thirty-two chapters present a comparative analysis of cutting-edge legal topics of the 21st century. While each of the countries covered stands alone as a sovereign state, in a technologically advanced world their disparate systems nonetheless show comparable strategies in dealing with complex legal issues. The book is a critical addition to the library of any scholar hoping to keep abreast of the major trends in contemporary law. It covers a vast area of topics that are dealt with from a comparative point of view and represents the current state of law in each area.
Die postmortale Befruchtung im deutschen und spanischen Recht
Das Werk beschäftigt sich umfassend mit den rechtlichen Implikationen einer postmortalen Befruchtung. Wesentlicher Bestandteil ist eine detaillierte verfassungsrechtliche Prüfung des in § 4 Abs. 1 Nr. 3 ESchG enthaltenen absoluten Verbotes. Zentraler Aspekt ist zudem die Rechtsstellung des verbotswidrig posthum gezeugten Kindes. Von Bedeutung sind hier insbesondere Vorschriften des Abstammungs-, Erb- und Unterhaltsrechts. Weiterer Schwerpunkt ist die Darstellung des spanischen Rechts. Die Regelung der postmortalen Befruchtung, ihre Voraussetzungen und die rechtliche Position des Kindes stehen im Fokus. Unter vergleichender Heranziehung des spanischen Rechts werden schließlich mögliche Alternativregelungen sowohl im Hinblick auf die postmortale Befruchtung als auch hinsichtlich der Rechtsstellung des Kindes entwickelt. Die für die Regelung der postmortalen Befruchtung bedeutsame Frage der rechtlichen Qualifizierung menschlichen Keimmaterials findet hier besondere Beachtung.
