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).
Comparative Law of Obligations
This comprehensive book provides a comparative overview of legal institutions that intersect with everyday life: contracts, unilateral legal transactions, torts, negotiorum gestio and unjust enrichment. These institutions form the core of the Law of Obligations, which is examined in this book from the perspective of all major legal traditions including Civil, Common, Islamic and Chinese law.
Civil Law Studies
The glacier of Ancient Vedic wisdom flowed down the Himalayan Kailash and watered the Hindu philosophy. The Shrutis (that which was heard) and the Smritis (that which was remembered) reflected this Vedic wisdom. Thinkers and philosophers of the time expressed their thoughts in prosaic Dharmasutras and later on in more refined poetic Dharmashastras. The Smritkars followed with their own interpretation, symbolically represented by the Code of Manu. That jurisprudence was responsible for taking the country through the Golden pages of its history. With the British dominance, India was plunged in Common Law Jurisprudence, interwoven with Hindu Philosophy. The Midnight country awoke in 1947 to an ...
Unexpected Circumstances in European Contract Law
The recent financial crisis has questioned whether existing contracts may be adapted, terminated or renegotiated as a result of unexpected circumstances. The question is not a new one. In medieval times the notion of clausula rebus sic stantibus was developed to cope with such situations, and Germany introduced the theory of Wegfall der Geschäftsgrundlage. In England, the Coronation cases provided one possible answer. This comparative study explores the possibility of classifying jurisdictions as 'open' or 'closed' in this regard.

Its detailed exposition includes examination of the form of the insurance company and its reserves and investments; the insurance contract; the legal aspects...
The Constitutional Dimension of Contract Law
One of the hallmarks of the present era is the discourse surrounding Human Rights and the need for the law to recognise them. Various national and supranational human rights instruments have been developed and implemented in order to transition society away from atrocity and callousness toward a more just and inclusive future. In some countries this is done by means of an overarching constitution, while in others international conventions or ordinary legislation hold sway. Contract law plays a pivotal role in this context. According to many, this is done through the much-debated ‘civilising mission’ of the contract, a notion which itself constitutes the canon of the Western liberal princ...
Cláusulas Limitativas e de Exclusão de Responsabilidade Civil
Reimpressão da Obra Publicada em 1985 Até que ponto poderão as partes, ao celebrarem um contrato, excluir ou limitar antecipadamente a eventual responsabilidade do devedor pelo não cumprimento (ou pela mora ou cumprimento defeituoso) do contrato? E se se tratar de excluir ou limitar a responsabilidade do devedor pelos actos dos seus auxiliares? E se o contrato for de adesão? Por outro lado, em que medida tais acordos poderão ocorrer (também) no âmbito da responsabilidade extracontratual? É destes e de muitos outros problemas que trata esta obra, a qual define com rigor o âmbito e modo de funcionamento destas cláusulas, analisa e distingue figuras próximas e desfaz muitas confusõ...
O Ressarcimento do Dano Pré-contratual
Tal como acontece nos melhores trabalhos acadêmicos, o tema estudado pelo Professor Fabio situa-se na fértil confluência entre duas áreas pantanosas. De um lado, o desafiador - e, no Brasil, em boa medida ainda enigmático - estudo dos conceitos de interesse negativo e interesse positivo. De outro, a análise da responsabilidade pré-contratual, cujo desenvolvimento, como bem nota o próprio autor, inexplicavelmente não se fez acompanhar de aprofundamento no que diz respeito à quantificação do dano pré-contratual, a despeito da avalanche de conflitos cotidianos que as envolvem. Ao final do percurso, resta plenamente construída, em sólidas bases, a conclusão de que o emprego dos c...
A Responsabilidade Civil por Prospecto no Direito dos Valores Mobiliários - O Bem Jurídico Protegido
O objectivo do presente estudo consiste em avaliar a adequação de uma responsabilidade civil por prospecto centrada na reparação dos danos sofridos por cada investidor, isto é, propõe-se averiguar se à responsabilidade civil por prospecto se adequará uma responsabilidade de índole essencialmente reparadora ou compensatória. A tutela do investidor pelos deveres gerais de informação está estritamente ligada ao interesse público do bom funcionamento do mercado De iure condendo, a responsabilidade civil pelo prospecto deveria adaptar o seu regime, encarando as pretensões indemnizatórias como instrumentos de prossecução do interesse do público investidor numa eficiente alocação de recursos, o que tem importantes consequências a nível do regime da responsabilidade civil por prospecto.
Constitutional Framework of European Labour Law in Italy, France, Germany, Portugal and Spain
The challenges that labour law currently faces are well known. The emergence of new forms of work and the growing importance of technology in the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are important tests of the resilience of this field of law and its function: regulating the labour market. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to examine the fundamentals of labour law, especially how subordinate labour is addressed in various countries’ constitutions, in order to focus the analysis of the new phenomena affecting labour relations on their fundamental frameworks.In this context, this book puts forward an overarching framework that reflects how the Italian, German, French, Portug...
