To this end, case material from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, France, theUnited Kingdom and Switzerland was reviewed and systematized. Rules for just and fair solutions were abstracted and formulated, reflecting the current state of practice, and thus utilizable as an aid to argumentation for the deci- sive bodies. Commentaries elucidate the rules. Country reports explain practice in the respective jurisdictions.ISBN 9783689241476. De Gruyter. hb. 928 pages. 24 x 17 cm.not yet published Show more
