Grenzüberschreitender Diskriminierungsschutz
English summary: Discrimination often occurs in cross-border contracts. It is in this setting that different cultures and concepts as to (e.g. gender and racial) equality collide. Thus, transnational protection against discrimination raises numerous questions - in particular with regard to international labor and insurance contracts. Jan D. Luttringhaus endeavors to provide answers on the basis of European private international law. He examines the area of international contract law as well as transnational protection against discrimination in corporate bodies. Given that some EU Member States impose further sanctions under criminal and administrative law, the author outlines the conflicts b...
AI in eHealth
The emergence of digital platforms and the new application economy are transforming healthcare and creating new opportunities and risks for all stakeholders in the medical ecosystem. Many of these developments rely heavily on data and AI algorithms to prevent, diagnose, treat, and monitor diseases and other health conditions. A broad range of medical, ethical and legal knowledge is now required to navigate this highly complex and fast-changing space. This collection brings together scholars from medicine and law, but also ethics, management, philosophy, and computer science, to examine current and future technological, policy and regulatory issues. In particular, the book addresses the challenge of integrating data protection and privacy concerns into the design of emerging healthcare products and services. With a number of comparative case studies, the book offers a high-level, global, and interdisciplinary perspective on the normative and policy dilemmas raised by the proliferation of information technologies in a healthcare context.

Cross-Border Trade Secret Disputes in the European Union
With the rise of international trade and innovation, there has been an increase in cross border trade secret violations. Using common trade secret scenarios as a springboard for analysis, the book questions whether EU private international law rules can be interpreted to facilitate the objective of the EU Trade Secret Directive and in doing so provides a detailed examination of both regimes.
Mehr Freiheit wagen im Versicherungsrecht durch daten- und risikoadjustierte Versicherungstarife - "Pay-as-you-drive“-, "Pay-as-you-live“- und "Smart-Home“-Tarife als Herausforderung für das Versicherungsvertragsrecht - (Risking More Freedom
English Abstract: Recent technological progress offers insurers and their clients new opportunities to enter into risk and data-based insurance contracts: In motor insurance, for example, “pay-as-you-drive” tariffs are based on a constant flow of data relating to each policy holder's driving style. The individual's driving behaviour can be documented by a black box or even the insured's smart phone. Similarly, “pay-as-you-live” tariffs in life and disability insurance are calculated on the basis of individual fitness and lifestyle habits. Again, mobile phones or wearable devices such as fitness-trackers may record different data sets, e.g. the number of steps the policy holder walks ...
Die kartellrechtliche Zulässigkeit von Musterversicherungsbedingungen
Nach der Deregulierung der Versicherungsmärkte in den 1990er Jahren traten unverbindliche Musterversicherungsbedingungen der Versicherungsverbände an die Stelle der behördlich genehmigten allgemeinen Versicherungsbedingungen (AVB). Der europäische Gesetzgeber hatte Musterversicherungsbedingungen über einen langen, allerdings befristeten, Zeitraum von der Anwendung des Kartellverbots freigestellt. Seit dem Wegfall dieser gesetzlichen Freistellung im Jahr 2010 muss für alle Musterversicherungsbedingungen überprüft werden, ob sie mit dem europäischen Kartellverbot des Art. 101 AEUV vereinbar sind. Orientierungshilfe geben teilweise die Horizontalleitlinien der europäischen Kommission. Doch trotz dieser Leitlinien ist die kartellrechtliche Beurteilung von Musterversicherungsbedingungen nicht eindeutig geklärt. Die Verfasserin untersucht, inwieweit Musterversicherungsbedingungen mit dem europäischen Kartellverbot des Art. 101 AEUV vereinbar sind. Hierbei analysiert sie auch die Schnittstellen zum gewerblichen Rechtsschutz und Urheberrecht. Das Buch richtet sich gleichermaßen an Unternehmens- und Verbandsjuristen, Rechtsanwälte, Kartellbehörden und Rechtswissenschaftler.
Blockchain and Private International Law
The open access publication of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation. Blockchain is the first global mechanism for the transfer and storage of value. Despite being conceived as an alternative to state and law, the technology and its use cases raise many legal questions, most notably, regarding jurisdiction and applicable law with respect to transactions and assets recorded on the blockchain. The issue is complex given the decentralised nature of the network. In this volume, academics and practitioners from various countries try to provide detailed answers to these questions as they relate to crypto-assets, cryptocurrencies, crypto derivatives,...
Tort Law in Germany
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides ready access to how the legal dimension of prevention against harm and loss allocation is treated in Germany. This traditional branch of law not only tackles questions which concern every lawyer, whatever his legal expertise, but also concerns each person’s most fundamental rights on a worldwide scale. Following a general introduction that probes the distinction between tort and crime and the relationship between tort and contract, the monograph describes how the concepts of fault and unlawfulness, and of duty of care and negligence, are dealt with in both the legislature and the courts. The book...
The Law of Open Societies
This book endeavours to interpret the development of private international law in light of social change. Since the end of World War II the socio-economic reality of international relations has been characterised by a progressive move from closed to open societies. The dominant feature of our time is the opening of borders for individuals, goods, services, capital and data. It is reflected in the growing importance of ex ante planning – as compared with ex post adjudication – of cross-border relations between individuals and companies. What has ensued is a shift in the forces that shape international relations from states to private actors. The book focuses on various forms of private ordering for economic and societal relations, and its increasing significance, while also analysing the role of the remaining regulatory powers of the states involved. These changes stand out more distinctly by virtue of the comparative treatment of the law and the long-term perspective employed by the author. The text is a revised and updated version of the lectures given by the author during the 2012 summer courses of the Hague Academy of International Law.
