The Law of Obligations in Europe: A New Wave of Codifications

In the light of the current legal developments it is to be assumed that modern trends will initiate a wave of reforms regarding the law of obligations at Member State level. How legislation of the European Union affects national legal systems in the context of the reform process is particularly of great interest, especially in due consideration of the harmonisation of private law.

This volume illustrates the developments of such reforms in eleven European countries and is, thus, an indispensable guide for those who wish to gain a deeper insight into the challenges and the current trends in the modernisation of the law of obligations in countries which have experienced or are currently experiencing a reform of their law of obligations.
