In order to develop a framework, which can form the basis for the development of a European property law this book seeks to provide a comparative analysis of property law from the perspective of four European legal systems, and of European law, focusing on the numerus clausus principle. The book offers theoretical insights on how substantive property law, European law, and, to a certain extent, private international law intersect. Inspiration for this is drawn from the mixed legal system of South Africa.

In their provisions on specific issues the Principles opt for solutions which seem to be workable and shall avoid unnecessary hardship and disputes.

This book provides an overview of the developments in family law in Europe during the last two millennia. It aims to examine the so-called 'cultural constraints argument', which suggests that family law is unsuitable for harmonisation because the family laws of the European countries are deeply imbedded in their unique national cultures and history.

This book also contains a theoretical component that draws insights and inspiration from autonomy-based theories of contract, law and economics, notions of fairness and socio-legal perspectives to establish why contracting parties leave gaps in their contracts, whether intervention is justified and, if so, how gaps in contracts should be filled.

The 1980 UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods unifies the law governing the rights and obligations arising from a contract for the international sale of goods for the seller and the buyer. One of the main obligations for the seller under the Convention is to deliver goods which are in conformity with the contract (art. 35 CISG). With respect to this particular obligation, a number of questions have arisen. This book contains an analysis of the case law that has been established on the basis of the CISG concerning these questions.
