    Contract Law of the Internal Market

    Book | 1st edition 2016 | Europe | Stephen Weatherill

  5. Optional Instruments of the European Union

    Optional Instruments of the European Union

    A Definitional, Normative and Explanatory Study
    Book | 1st edition 2016 | Europe | William Bull
    This rise of a particular kind of European Union legislation known as the ‘optional instrument’ is a novel trend in the context of EU law, and one that until now has not been comprehensively mapped or explored. This study examines and discusses existing and proposed EU Optional Instruments (OIs) in different fields of European law, including company law, intellectual property law and procedural law (such as the European Company, the Community Trade Mark and the European Small Claims Procedure, respectively), as well as contract law.

  6. The Legal Status of Transsexual and Transgender Persons

    The Legal Status of Transsexual and Transgender Persons

    The Legal Status
    Book | 1st edition 2015 | Jens Scherpe
    The need to allow a change of legal sex/gender in certain cases is no longer disputed in most jurisdictions. The question has therefore shifted to what the requirements for such a change of the legal sex/gender should be. This book examines these thus far under-researched questions, namely what the full legal consequences of a change of legal sex/gender should be, for example with regard to existing legal relationships such as marriages and registered partnerships, but also concerning children and parentage.

  7. Sperm Donation, Single Women and Filiation

    Sperm Donation, Single Women and Filiation

    Book | 1st edition 2015 | United Kingdom | Elena Ignovska
    Although recent family law debates have been predominantly paedo-centric, the founding of “bio-medically assisted families” still focuses on the individual parents’ rights to reproduce. By introducing donations, the donor’s genetic contribution becomes instrumental and the legal attribution of parenthood negotiated through expressed intentions. This book provokes the curious mind and clarifies concepts, studies the rationale behind the legal complexity in ten national European jurisdictions, and confronts the rights and responsibilities of the stakeholders, providing a balanced independent conclusion and suggestions towards international harmonisation.

  8. Common Core, PECL and DCFR: could they change shipping and transport law?

    Common Core, PECL and DCFR: could they change shipping and transport law?

    Book | 1st edition 2015 | World | Wouter Verheyen, Frank Smeele, Marian Hoeks
    The international character of shipping and transport has always been a great incubator for harmonisation of law. Recently, there has been increasing interest within the EU in harmonisation of general private law, with different harmonisation instruments such as common core, PECL and DCFR coming into existence. In this book the possible impact of these private law harmonisation instruments on shipping and transport law is assessed.

  9. Who does What? On the Allocation of Regulatory Competences in European Private Law

    Who does What? On the Allocation of Regulatory Competences in European Private Law

    Book | 1st edition 2015 | Europe | Bram Akkermans, Jaap Hage, Nicole Kornet, Jan Smits
    There is an increasing debate on the way in which the EU has developed and what it must look like in the future. This debate includes a discussion on one of the core aspects of European integration: at which level should the rules be set and who decides where the authority to do so should lie? Private law has an important role to play in this discussion. Many private law rules touch on the core of the internal market as they serve to foster trade or to offer protection to market participants, such as consumers.
