Download or read book The Principles of European Contract Law and Dutch Law A Commentary written by Ewoud H. Hondius and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2002-08-27 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic of harmonisation of European private law, and European contract law in particular, is rapidly gaining in importance. The topic is not only widely studied by academics and students all over Europe (and even beyond), it is also on the political agenda of the European Parliament, the European Commission, and the European Council. The most important achievement in this field is no doubt the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL), drafted by the Commission on European Contract Law. The European Commission considers the PECL to be a serious option for further harmonisation of European contract law within the European Union. This publication is the first to provide a systematic overview of the PECL in comparison with Dutch contract law as a whole. The book is concise and because of its structure it is easily accessible. Amongst the contributors there are many highly distinguished contract law specialists. It may be used at universities in courses on Comparative Law, European Private Law, and European Contract Law. It may also be used by international practitioners, foreign students, and academics interested in Dutch contract law who do not have access to Dutch contract law because they have no knowledge of the Dutch language. Last but not least, the book will be of interest to all jurists interested in the harmonisation of the European Private Law.

Download or read book The Enforceability of Promises in European Contract Law written by James Gordley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-07-12 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil law and common law systems are held to enforce promises differently: civil law, in principle, will enforce any promise, while common law will enforce only those with 'consideration'. In that respect, modern civil law supposedly differs from the Roman law from which it descended, where a promise was enforced depending on the type of contract the parties had made. This 2001 volume is concerned with the extent to which these characterizations are true, and how these and other differences affect the enforceability of promises. Beginning with a concise history of these distinctions, the volume then considers how twelve European legal systems would deal with fifteen concrete situations. Finally, a comparative section considers why legal systems enforce certain promises and not others, and what promises should be enforced. This is the second completed project of The Common Core of European Private Law launched at the University of Trento.

Download or read book Service Contracts written by Maurits Barendrecht and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-04-27 with total page 1095 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rules presented in this volume of "Principles of European Law" deal with service contracts. The economic importance of service contracts within the European Union is enormous. The European Commission recently estimated that services account for some 50% of EU GDP and for some 60% of employment in the Union – though an exact figure is hard to determine given that many services are provided by manufacturers of goods. According to the European Commission, many services appear in official statistics as manufacturing activity, meaning that the role of services in the economy is often significantly underestimated.

Download or read book Indirect Representation in European Contract Law written by Danny Busch and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few years increasing attention continues to be paid to the Principles of European Contract Law (otherwise known as the Principles, the Lando Principles or PECL). The drafters of the Principles presented their work in the form of articles accompanied by explanatory notes, averring that the main purpose of the instrument is to serve as a basis for a future European contract law. Can the Lando Principles, as their drafters claim, indeed offer an acceptable basis for a future European contract law? Dr. Busch, both scholar and practitioner, offers a detailed analysis, in response to this question, of the contractual aspects of indirect representation (Arts. 3:301-304 PECL). He evaluates these provisions in the light of Dutch, German, and English law, as well as with reference to the Geneva Convention on Agency in the International Sale of Goods. To introduce this important comparative study and make the background as complete as possible, this book devotes separate chapters to thorough discussions of indirect representation in Dutch law (middellijke vertegenwoordiging Arts. 7:419-421 Dutch Civil Code), in German law (mittelbare Stellvertretung) and in the English doctrine of the undisclosed principal. Lawyers in Europe and elsewhere who must deal with contract law in any connection, will find this thoroughly researched and well-thought-out text to be indispensable. Its value as a scholarly analysis can only grow with the coming years. D. Busch (b. 1974) graduated (cum laude) in Dutch law from the University of Utrecht in 1997. He attained the title of Magister Juris in European and Comparative Law at the University of Oxford (St. John's College) in 1998, and defended his dissertation in 2002 at the University of Utrecht. Until the end of 2001 he was attached as lecturer and researcher to the Molengraaff Institute of Private Law in Utrecht. Since 2002 he has worked as an attorney-at-law for the law office of De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek in Amsterdam. He has also been an honorary senior lecturer at the Molengraaff Institute since 2004.

Download or read book Commercial Trusts in European Private Law written by Michele Graziadei and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-11-03 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In European legal systems, a variety of approaches to trust and relationships of trust meet the universal professionalisation of asset management services. This book explores that interface in order to seek a better understanding of the legal regulation of the entrustment of wealth. Within the methodology of the Common Core of European Private Law, the book sets out cases on the establishment and termination of management relationships, obligations of loyalty and of professionalism, and the choice of law. More specialized cases address collective investment, collective secured lending, pension funds, and securitisation. Reports on these cases from fifteen jurisdictions of the European Union tackle fundamental problems of trust law and show which legal techniques are deployed to solve them across Europe. In addition to a much-needed comparative treatment of the subject, the book discusses the scholarly setting for the issues and gives guidance on the terminology in the evolving European scene.

Download or read book Agency in Private International Law written by H. L. E. Verhagen and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hague Agency Convention is of great importance for every lawyer involved (or interested) in international business and finance. Its provisions become relevant whenever one is dealing with agency relationships in the broadest sense in an international context. Its scope is not confined to the `traditional' commercial agency relationships between principals and their agents, but extends to many other situations where agency takes place, both directly and indirectly. The rules of the Convention are applied to find the laws governing both the internal and external agency relationships in all areas of international business and finance. The Convention has currently been ratified by four states (the Netherlands, France, Portugal and Argentina), but several countries have enacted legislation inspired by it, for the interpretation of which the Convention may have significance. Moreover, now that it has entered into force (in 1992), it is not unlikely that it will be ratified by more states. Agency in Private International Law presents a detailed analysis of the Convention, with references to the laws of various jurisdictions. References to legal systems other than that of the Netherlands have been checked by local lawyers.

Download or read book Commercial Agency Franchise and Distribution Contracts written by Martijn W. Hesselink and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-04-27 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rules presented in this volume of "Principles of European Law" deal with commercial agency, franchise and distribution contracts, and with other contracts where one party uses the other party's skill and efforts to bring its products to the market. Although these Principles are not directly applicable to other long-term (commercial) contracts, some of the Articles may be applied to such contracts by way of analogy where appropriate. The economic function of all three contracts is that they are instrumental in bringing products to the market. They are so-called vertical agreements, as they are agreements between economic actors on different levels in the production and distribution chain. Obviously, the economic importance of these contracts is enormous since they form the connection between producers and retailers who sell the products to consumers and other final users. There are only very few economic sectors where producers regularly sell their products directly to final consumer users. Goodwill compensation after the ending of a distribution contract, the moment at which the agent's commission is due, the franchisor's obligation to maintain the good reputation of the network are but a few examples of issues where specific rules are needed in order to give legal practice some guidance and to provide practitioners with a reasonable degree of legal certainty.

Download or read book Contract Law in the Netherlands written by Arthur S. Hartkamp and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2015-11-23 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of the law of contracts in the Netherlands covers every aspect of the subject – definition and classification of contracts, contractual liability, relation to the law of property, good faith, burden of proof, defects, penalty clauses, arbitration clauses, remedies in case of non-performance, damages, power of attorney, and much more. Lawyers who handle transnational contracts will appreciate the explanation of fundamental differences in terminology, application, and procedure from one legal system to another, as well as the international aspects of contract law. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes drafting considerations. An introduction in which contracts are defined and contrasted to torts, quasi-contracts, and property is followed by a discussion of the concepts of ‘consideration’ or ‘cause’ and other underlying principles of the formation of contract. Subsequent chapters cover the doctrines of ‘relative effect’, termination of contract, and remedies for non-performance. The second part of the book, recognizing the need to categorize an agreement as a specific contract in order to determine the rules which apply to it, describes the nature of agency, sale, lease, building contracts, and other types of contract. Facts are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in the Netherlands will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative contract law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asser-deel 7-VI 'Aanneming van werk' biedt een actueel overzicht van de wetenschappelijke en maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen en rechtspraak met betrekking tot de aanneming van werk, evenals andere in de praktijk voorkomende samenwerkingsvormen tussen aannemer en opdrachtgever. De auteurs werpen een brede blik op de aanneming van werk. Enerzijds krijgt de lezer inzicht in de aannemingsovereenkomst in bilateraal verband tussen aannemer en opdrachtgever, die is geregeld in de wet. Vertrekpunt daarbij is de regeling van de aanneming van werk in titel 7.12 BW. Anderzijds wordt stilgestaan bij de vele multilaterale samenwerkingsverbanden die bestaan voor de aanneming van werk: hoofd- en onderaanneming, nevenaanneming, bouwcombinatie, bouwteam, ketensamenwerking en alliantie. Daarnaast wordt ingegaan op meer algemene vermogensrechtelijke en goederenrechtelijke onderwerpen die relevant zijn voor de bouwrechtjurist.00De bouwsector - en daarmee ook de 4e druk van dit Asser-deel - is volop in ontwikkeling. De titel is op vele fronten bijgewerkt om recht te doen aan de actuele stand van zaken. Zo worden in de bouwsector indrukwekkende stappen gezet op het gebied van circulair en duurzaam bouwen als gevolg van nationaal en Europees klimaatbeleid, waarover relevante tekstdelen zijn opgenomen. Ook de toenemende aandacht voor samenwerken in een bouwteam, waarvoor twee nieuwe modelovereenkomsten zijn geïntroduceerd, is terug te zien in deze 4e druk. Ten slotte is nieuwe wetgeving op komst, namelijk de Wet kwaliteitsborging voor het bouwen die naar verwachting op 1 juli 2022 in werking zal treden. In deze druk wordt vooruitgeblikt op de wijzigingen die deze wet met zich zal meebrengen. Dat geldt ook voor de wijzigingen als gevolg van het op 21 februari 2019 gepubliceerde wetsvoorstel Modernisering van personenvennootschappen.

Download or read book Verzekering Bijzondere overeenkomsten written by Han Wansink and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deze gerenommeerde uitgave geeft u als vanouds toegang tot actuele, grondige kennis op het gebied van de verzekeringsovereenkomst (schade- en sommenverzekering) en het wettelijke kader rondom deze overeenkomst. De toegankelijke en praktijkgerichte benadering is zowel geschikt voor praktijkjuristen als rechtswetenschappers. Het leven van alledag en de risico#s die de daarbij horende (maatschappelijke) activiteiten met zich meebrengen, rechtvaardigen een middel om risico#s af te dekken. De verzekeringsovereenkomst is divers en de wettelijke kaders van de verzekeringsovereenkomst laten zich daarmee niet zomaar schetsen. Asser 7-IX Verzekering geldt binnen dit themagebied als een diepgravend en toegankelijk naslagwerk voor wetenschap en praktijk. Deze vierde editie gaat op uitgebreide wijze in op alle aspecten van de schade- en sommenverzekering binnen de context van het alomvattende commentaar op het burgerlijk recht in de gehele Asser-serie. Bij de behandeling van de verzekeringsovereenkomst wordt bovendien niet voorbijgegaan aan de civielrechtelijke inbedding ervan. De inhoud is geheel geactualiseerd, onder toevoeging van nieuwe rechtspraak en literatuur. De basisopzet zoals u van deze titel kent is echter in grote lijnen hetzelfde gebleven. Uitzondering hierop is dat de behandeling van het publieksrechtelijke toezicht op verzekeraars is gereduceerd. Hoewel eerdere edities hieraan de nodige aandacht besteedden in hoofdstuk 1, verviel de behoefte hiertoe met de verschijning van de bundel ##Zicht op toezicht in de verzekeringssector#" in het Recht en Praktijk Verzekeringsrecht (VR6) in 2016. In deze nieuwste editie wordt daarom op dit vlak volstaan met een verkorte paragraaf over de distributie van verzekeringen.
