Den Ausgangspunkt der Arbeit bildet die Frage, in welchem Umfang die "Universalsukzession kraft Rechtsgeschäft" für den Unternehmensverkehr nutzbar gemacht werden kann. Aktueller Anlass der Untersuchung sind die durch das deutsche Umwandlungsgesetz von 1994 - sowie auf rechtsvergleichender Ebene das Schweizer Fusionsgesetz aus dem Jahre 2003 und das österreichische Unternehmensgesetzbuch aus dem Jahre 2007 - eröffneten Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten.Unter Berücksichtigung des Systems der Verfügungsgeschäfte nach dem Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuch, wird der Versuch einer Gesamtdarstellung sämtlicher universalsukzessiver Übertragungstatbestände unternommen. Dabei wird die Möglichkeit aufgezeigt, die handelsrechtlichen Vorschriften der §§ 25 ff. HGB als Pendant zu den umwandlungsrechtlichen Instituten der Spaltung und Vermögensübertragung aufzufassen.Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden ferner die Auswirkungen auf den Bereich des Schuldrechts. Auf der Grundlage der verschiedenen universalsukzessiven Übertragungstatbestände können Schuldverhältnisse grundsätzlich frei, d.h. ohne Zustimmung des betroffenen Vertragspartners, übertragen werden. Nachgegangen wird den Grenzen einer solchen "freien" Übertragbarkeit, der Funktion der Spaltungshaftung, wie auch den möglichen leistungsstörungsrechtlichen Implikationen einer Rechtsübertragung im Wege der Universalsukzession.

Accident law, if properly designed, is capable of reducing the incidence of mishaps by making people act more cautiously. Scholarly writing on this branch of law traditionally has been concerned with examining the law for consistency with felt notions of right and duty. Since the 1960's, however, a group of legal scholars and economists have focused on identifying the effects of accident law on people's behavior. Steven Shavell's book is the definitive synthesis of research to date in this new field.

This volume analyses thirteen cases, from the perspective of sixteen national European legal systems, in order to explore the legal nature of the precontractual phase and the liability which may follow a break-off of precontractual negotiations. The precontractual phase is difficult to characterise and analyse in either legal or practical terms. The negotiating parties have begun their journey together, but they are not yet in the relationship - the contract - which is their aim. The negotiations may fail after a lengthy period in which either party may have incurred significant expenses and invested time and effort. The break-off of the negotiations may come as a shock to one party where the negotiations were far advanced, or at least where there was nothing to suggest that they were not likely to lead to their fruition in the contract. The disappointed party is therefore likely to seek a remedy.

This publication deals with the European dimension of tort law. It provides a critical analysis of the acquis communautaire, asking if and to what extent the provisions and case law in the field of tort law are based on a conclusive system and are in accord with the national legal systems. It thus evaluates whether the acquis communautaire form the beginning of a comprehensive and coherent EC tort law or if the single directives and regulations are contradictory and lack a general concept that is yet to be found. To gain an overview of 'EC Tort Law' certain provisions and decisions were analysed by a group of authors under thirteen elements that form the basis of tort law e.g. fault/strict liability, causation, damage, damages and limitation of actions. An analysis of these aspects was then undertaken by another group of authors each focusing on their respective legal families within the European Union. The publication also contains a section on terminological issues in EC tort law.

Due to its scope and depth, Moore's Causation and Responsibility is probably the most important publication in the philosophy of law since the publication of Hart's and Honoré's Causation in the Law in 1959. This volume offers, for the first time, a detailed exchange between legal and philosophical scholars over Moore's most recent work. In particular, it pioneers the dialogue between English-speaking and German philosophy of law on a broad range of pressing foundational questions concerning causation in the law. It thereby fulfills the need for a comprehensive, international and critical discussion of Moore's influential arguments. The 15 contributors to the proposed volume span the whole interdisciplinary field from law and morals to metaphysics, and the authors include distinguished criminal and tort lawyers, as well as prominent theoretical and practical philosophers from four nations. In addition, young researchers take brand-new approaches in the field. The collection is essential reading for anyone interested in legal and moral theory.
