Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comparative analysis considers the differing approaches to important areas of law in England, France and Germany. In particular, constitutions, sources of law, rights against the state to prevent abuse of power, and rights of private individuals and organisations against each other in tort and contract are examined and compared, and the system of courts is also considered. Updated and revised, each sub-topic is introduced with the relevant material in the English system, allowing easy comparison and assimilation of the other systems. The text includes translations of relevant French and German codal material, and references to relevant cases from all of the jurisdictions. This new edition includes constitutional changes in France and the United Kingdom, in particular the new procedure for challenging existing legislation before the Conseil constitutionnel. It examines the consequences of the Lisbon Treaty, as well as other recent codal and legislative changes. Comprehensive and topical, the text explores a wide variety of new case law on issues such as: preventive detention; the use of evidence obtained by torture; the balance between suppression of terrorism and personal freedom; the internet; email monitoring; artificial reproductive techniques; use of global positioning systems (GPSs), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and closed-circuit television (CCTV); the wearing of religious clothing (such as the headscarf) and symbols (such as the cross); circumcision; methods of crowd control; the prevention of human trafficking; the preservation of privacy, especially for celebrities; and the legality of pre-nuptial agreements and success fees for lawyers. Designed for students on comparative law courses, this textbook will also prove valuable to students who are familiar with English law, but require a readily comprehensible introduction to French or German law.

Each chapter is followed by questions, some of a theoretical nature and other posing practical problems for solution under the rules of each of the three systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decades, the field commonly known as comparative law has significantly expanded. The multiplication of journals, the proliferation of scholarship and the creation of courses or summer schools specifically devoted to comparative law attest to its increasing popularity.

This co-authored book rethinks comparative law’s mainstream model by providing both students and lawyers with the intellectual equipment allowing them to approach any foreign law in a more meaningful way.
Download or read book Comparative Law Analysis A Comparison of the law system in Germany France and Spain written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2023-08-02 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Law, grade: 1,70, Zuyd University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: A comprehensive legal system is the foundation for a healthy economic and social life in every country. It regulates various details of our everyday life, often without us noticing it. We act in the role of a consumer, take advantage of our guarantee for a product or buy a device and thereby conclude a contract of sales. However, we go through all these steps without even being aware of the legal background of our actions. Having this in mind, naturally not every country has the same rules and laws when it comes to regulating life within their borders. That is why, in the following we are going to take Germany, France and Spain as an example to explain different topics that have an impact on every citizen in those countries. To be more precise, the next sections will give a detailed insight into the topics of contract law and breach of contract.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: 72%, Stellenbosch Universitiy (University of Stellenbosch, South Africa - Department for Private Law), course: Comparative Private Law, language: English, abstract: In this paper it will be made an effort to compare the German and English position in the situation where two parties to a contract have actually reached consensus but gave their agreement an outwards wrong expression by using a wrong name for the subject-matter of contract. In a first step, the general positions in both jurisdictions will be presented and afterwards, as a practical application of the functionalist approach, it will be sought to determine if the English law would have reached the same outcome if it would have to decide a prominent German court decision by reference to comparable English cases.

Michael Bogdan is Professor of Comparative and Private International Law at the University of Lund, Sweden.
