Law

JÜRGEN OECHSLER Vertragliche Schuldverhältnisse

[Contractual Obligations]

Jürgen Oechsler deals with the most important types of German contract law. He focuses on the leading decisions of the German and European courts and shows how these were reached in order to provide practical insights into German legal thinking. Thus the book is an in-depth study of the details of German contract law and also shows how it was influenced by European law. In addition, the author examines the Roman law background of German and European contract law and provides a critical discussion of the implications of the theory of consumer protection as well as of the economic analysis of law for modern contract law.   (learn more...)   (Reading sample...)
