BGB I: Einführung und allgemeiner Teil

Meer over het boek

This textbook and workbook is designed to provide readers with a foundational understanding of German civil law. The introduction outlines essential civil law terms, facilitating comprehension of the general section of the German Civil Code. The author emphasizes the theory of legal transactions, particularly the principles of contract law, while also covering the entire scope of the first book of the German Civil Code. Detailed solutions to the presented cases are included at the end of each relevant section. The updated edition reflects recent high court rulings and various legislative changes, some of which directly impact the general section of the Civil Code, such as club law and statutes of limitations. Others, like the consumer credit law reform effective June 11, 2010, primarily influence the examples provided, often extending beyond the general section. The book also addresses significant shifts in European law due to the Lisbon Treaty. Its pedagogical aim remains unchanged, targeting law students at universities and colleges, while also being utilized in business studies. A notable feature is the introduction of fundamental concepts of obligations and property law, which greatly aids readers in grasping the rules of the general section and understanding the solutions to numerous case examples.
