"This new edition of An Outline of the Law of Agency by Markesinis and Munday will enable students to acquire a sound and critical understanding of the law of agency by providing a succinct, readable account of this significant and intellectually challenging branch of law. Among the many notable legal developments in this area of law since the publication of the third edition six years ago, which have been fully noted in this edition, are the entry into force in 1994 of the Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regulations 1993, the appearance of the first English case law on this distinctive european directive, and judicial extension of such concepts as 'apparent authority' and 'warranty of authority'. An Outline of the Law of Agency aims to complement existing standard works of reference. It can stand both on its own as an independent self-contained textbook where greater emphasis is laid upon principles than upon matters of technical detail, and also as an introductory book preparing the way for more detailed study of the subject. The combination of text and materials will offer students a general introduction to the subject which is stimulating, but above all, clear and concise."

Since its first appearance in 1986, this magisterial work has won uniform praise from many of the world's leading comparatists. It has been acclaimed by senior judges and has been cited by the courts of many countries. This new, substantially rewritten and systematically updated fifth edition of the work, contains over 95 leading judgments, most translated in their entirety, along with references to over 2,000 other decisions from Germany and the common law world. While the book remains an ideal tool for teaching comparative torts and comparative methodology, the fact that it has been extensively rewritten makes it an indispensable source of inspiration for those with a professional interest in tort litigation and tort law reform. This edition has paid particular attention to liability for internet activity, medical liability and the protection of personality rights and private life.

In a number of important decisions such as Stovin V. Wise, X v. Bedfordshire, Barrett v. Enfield London Borough Council and others, English courts have been forced to grapple with the important issues of tortious liability of statutory bodies. Following the HILL decision, they opted for a wide non-liability rule on a variety of policy and economic efficiency grounds. Yet many of their arguments have been considered and rejected by both German and French courts when deciding factually equivalent situations. This study analyzes five leading English cases in a comparative and economic way and questions the validity of their assumptions as well as their arguments in the light of the recent important decision of the Strasgbourg Court of Human Rights in Osman v. UK. This thought-provoking book, written by two English academics from Foxford and Cambridge Universities, in collaboration with two leading authorities from the Universities of Paris and Munich, should provide food for thought for judges, practitioners, academics and students for years to come. This book will be essential reading for scholars and practitioners interested in public law, human rights, comparative methodology, and tort law.

The German Law of Torts: A Comparative Treatise

Comparative Law in the Courtroom and Classroom: The Story of the Last Thirty-Five Years

This book presents an original, deliberately controversial, and, at times, disturbing appraisal of the state of comparative law at the beginning of the 21st century. Looking at the weaknesses, strengths, and protagonists (most of whom were personally known to the author) of comparative law during the preceding thirty-five years, the book is a reminder of the unique opportunities the subject has in our shrinking world. The author brings to bear his experience of thirty-five years as a teacher of the subject to criticize the impact the long association with Roman law has had on the orientation and well-being of his subject. With equal force, he also warns against some modern trends linking it with variations of the critical legal studies movement, and he urges the study of foreign law in a way that can make it more attractive to practitioners and more usable by judges. This monograph represents a passionate call for greater intellectual cooperation. It offers one way of achieving it - a cooperation between practitioners and academics on the one hand and between Common and (modern) Civilian lawyers on the other, in an attempt to save the subject from the marginalization it suffered in the 1980s and from which the globalization movement of the 21st century may be about to deliver it.

The German Law of Contract: A Comparative Treatise

Recently the contract section of the German code was radically amended after one hundred years of unaltered existence. The German Law of Contract-radically recast, enlarged, and re-written-now details and explains for the first time these changes for the benefit of Anglophone lawyers. Along with its companion work, The German Law of Torts, the two volumes provide one of the fullest accounts of the German law of obligations available in the English language. One hundred and twenty translated contract decisions make this work a unique sourcebook for students, practitioners, judges, and academics wishing to have access to prime sources. Through its method of presentation of German law, the book also represents an original contribution to the art of comparison. An additional feature of this volume is the way in which it reveals the growing impact which European directives are having on the traditional, liberal, contract model, thereby bringing German and English law closer to each other, especially in the area of consumer protection.
