This book examines the lawyer's duty of professional secrecy (also known as the attorney-client privilege) in the twenty-seven Member States of the European Union, the three Member States of the European Economic Area, and Switzerland. It provides valuable information for those working on transactions or litigations which involve several countries – they can use this book to find out to what extent any information shared with or any advice received from a lawyer is protected in each of these countries.
Setting out the current rules on legal professional privilege (LPP), with specific attention to their relevance in competition investigations, this comprehensive book analyses the practice of LPP by the European Commission and its current interpretations in the European Courts. It also compares this to practice in the EU Member States, as well as other jurisdictions including Japan, the UK, and the US.
This edited volume is based on the European Law Institute's (ELI) project 'Rescue of Business in Insolvency Law'. The project ran from 2013 to 2017 under the auspices of the ELI and was conducted by Bob Wessels and Stephan Madaus, who were assisted by Gert-Jan Boon. The study sought to design (elements of) a legal framework that will enable the further development of coherent and functional rules for business rescue in Europe. This includes certain statutory procedures that could better enable parties to negotiate solutions where a business becomes financially distressed. Such a framework also includes rules to determine in which procedures and under which conditions an enforceable solution ...
The contributions of Understanding the Sources of Early Modern and Modern Commercial Law: Courts, Statutes, Contracts, and Legal Scholarship show the wealth of sources which historians of commercial law use to approach their subject. Depending on the subject, historical research on mercantile law must be ready to open up to different approaches and sources in a truly imaginative and interdisciplinary way. This, more than many other branches of law, has always been largely non-state law. Normative, ‘official’, sources are important in commercial law as well, but other sources are often needed to complement them. The articles of the volume present an excellent assemblage of those sources. Anja Amend-Traut, Albrecht Cordes, Serge Dauchy, Dave De ruysscher, Olivier Descamps, Ricardo Galliano Court, Eberhard Isenmann, Mia Korpiola, Peter Oestmann, Heikki Pihlajamäki, Edouard Richard, Margrit Schulte Beerbühl, Guido Rossi, Bram Van Hofstraeten, Boudewijn Sirks, Alain Wijffels, and Justyna Wubs-Mrozewicz.

Une affaire de récupération de créances a rapidement dégénéré en une des plus longes et complexes affaires judiciaires qui a failli coûter l'auteur sa vie, du moins sa santé, en plus d'avoir causé sa ruine personnelle et professionnelle. L'affaire est inouïe par son incroyable banalité, s'agissant du recouvrement d'une simple facture, mais à la fois complètement extraordinaire vu la débauche de moyens judiciaires employés pour dénier le droit le plus élémentaire. Les débiteurs, des richissimes diamantaires Anversois avaient juré de ne jamais le payer, employant les méthodes les plus crapuleuses comme l'organisation frauduleuse d'insolvabilité, adresses fictives en Afri...

Les juristes lisent comme ils respirent. Rien d'étonnant à cela : le droit occidental, comme la culture occidentale en général, est une culture de l'écrit. Mais que lisent-ils ? De la littérature spécialisée le plus souvent, des fragments exsangues, ennuyeux voire assommants d'une prose mal écrite. Toutefois, le juriste n'a pas le choix : s'il veut suivre les dernières évolutions, il doit s'y soumettre. Les lectures des juristes doivent-elles se limiter à cette littérature spécialisée, administrative ? Ne doivent-ils pas lire également les grandes œuvres de la littérature ? Quelles sont ces œuvres ? Que pourraient-elles nous apprendre ?. Nous avons demandé à d'éminents ...
