The Recovery of Non-Pecuniary Loss in European Contract Law
A pioneering work capturing the recent rise of moral damages in modern European contract law.
Comparative Law in Eastern and Central Europe
Comparative law is a research methodology which has been increasingly fashionable in recent decades, as comparisons between common law and civil law have dominated the law studies landscape. There are many methods of comparative law in use, including comparison of legal rules, comparison of cases, and comparison of legal theories. Each of these methods has strong proponents and opponents. Dogmatic comparisons of rules are criticized for not giving the whole picture of law in action, but praised for being the first and the only truly legal step in comparative research. Case-based comparisons are praised for enabling us to compare the true understanding of rules by courts, yet the critics of t...

The current volume of the "Yearbook of Private International Law" includes three special sections: The first one is devoted to the recent European developments in the area of family law like the proposal on the matrimonial property régimes in its relation with other EU instruments, such as Brussels IIbis or Rome III.

Pure Economic Loss
Pure economic loss is one of the most-discussed problems in the fields of tort and contract.

Private Autonomy in Germany and Poland and in the Common European Sales Law
Private autonomy is a fundamental principle of civil law - even more against the background of increasing Europeanisation. How is this principle implemented in the Proposal for a Common European Sales Law (CESL), in German and in Polish Law? Read the informative proceedings of the international conference on "Private Autonomy in Germany, Poland and Europe" held at the University of Leipzig. The topics of the volume range from fundamental aspects, such as the term autonomy as a "legal axiom", to specific issues like the freedom of contract in the CESL and the control of unfair contract terms in business to business transactions.
Essential Cases on Misconduct
The various national European legal systems offer a broad range of responses to the question of what can be regarded as wrongful behaviour or fault. The present work systematically examines these two important prerequisites for tortious liability under the combined heading of ‘misconduct’. Unlike current textbooks, national casebooks and monographs, it builds on the experiences gathered in the national legal systems over the past decades and thereby fills a major gap which still exists today. It thus does what the previous volumes in the ‘Digest of European Tort Law’ series did for other key elements of tort law, namely natural causation and damage. Once again, the publication contai...
Tort Law in Poland
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 Poland. 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 ...
Prawo właściwe dla dobrego imienia osoby fizycznej i jego ochrony
W monografii przedstawiono tematykę transgranicznego naruszenia dobrego imienia osoby fizycznej, zwłaszcza w zakresie prawa właściwego dla dobrego imienia oraz kolizyjnoprawne kwestie jego ochrony. Oprócz rozważań poświęconych łącznikom istniejącym w obrębie tego zagadnienia w normach prawa kolizyjnego państw europejskich, szczególna uwaga została poświęcona nowym rozwiązaniom przyjętym przez krajowego ustawodawcę w art. 16 ustawy z dnia 4 lutego 2011 r. - Prawo prywatne międzynarodowe. Autorka omawia także konstrukcje dotyczące prawa właściwego dla ochrony dobrego imienia w systemach common law - w Wielkiej Brytanii oraz Stanach Zjednoczonych. Odwołuje się również do aktualnych wydarzeń mających miejsce na gruncie prawa europejskiego w przedmiocie prawa właściwego dla ochrony dóbr osobistych oraz wskazuje potencjalne rozwiązania tego kontrowersyjnego tematu. Adresaci: Książka przeznaczona jest dla prawników praktyków specjalizujących się w zagadnieniach transgranicznych oraz dla przedstawicieli doktryny prawa cywilnego. Będzie przydatna także osobom zajmującym się problematyką prasy oraz kolizyjnoprawnymi aspektami deliktów.
Analogical Reasoning in Law
This work tackles the most intriguing type of reasoning which one may employ within the field of law. In addition to the merits and drawbacks of legal analogy, it discusses the orthodox approaches to it, together with their critical analysis, also posing challenges that these conceptions have difficulty in managing. As an alternative, the book advances an account of legal analogical reasoning that correlates well with the division into rational and intuitive thinking that occurs in contemporary psychology. By doing so, many of the unique properties of legal analogy which have been traditionally associated with it and which have often been difficult to explain become readily understandable. Moreover, the very source of the almost mystical faith in power and infallibleness of such analogy is revealed here, while this faith—astonishing or not—not only escapes condemnation, but is shown to be warranted from a scientific point of view. Finally, the book also presents vast scope of application, premises, schematic structures and factors able to influence the force of legal analogy.
