Information requirements have become a key element of consumer policy at the European level and are also gaining increasing importance in all other areas of private law. The law stipulates that information provided should not be misleading and also involves requirements regarding the fairness and objectivity of what has been provided. In addition to controlling the veracity of what is voluntarily offered by traders, the law increasingly requires disclosure of certain information. This volume focuses especially on the question of how these information requirements influence the party autonomy. International contributors explore in various contexts whether the legislative policy regarding the information requirements and their relationship to party autonomy has been properly thought through.

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.

"An indispensable and compact reference guide that provides an ideal platform for scholars, practitioners (in-house counsel, legal advisors and advocates) and students internationally. The reviewer is tempted to extend this list to include commercial parties such as the importers and exporters as the writing is clear, concise and direct, contract clauses and practitioner tips sections are provided, and finally because the book provides illustrations to which they can relate."European Review of Private Law 2017 (of the 1st edition)Almost 5 years have passed since the first edition of this popular work was published. Much relevant case law and legal literature have since been published which requires treatment. Furthermore, several hard and soft laws relevant to the book have under­gone important changes: the enactment of the new Chinese Civil Code, the French Civil Code following extensive reforms in in 2016, the UNI­DROIT Principles now apply as amended in 2016, and the INCOTERMS 2020 replace the former INCOTERMS 2010. Scholars and practitioners will find its systematic survey of the field invaluable.

This book looks at the consumer protection offered in a range of Asian countries, for example China, Japan, and South Korea in key areas such as consumer sales law, unfair terms, product liability, and unfair commercial practices. However, it is interesting to note that consumer protection is on the rise everywhere and to compare how this differs depending upon the legal cultures. It is also fascinating to reflect on the influence of models for law reform such as the EU laws. ASEAN has also affected the development of consumer policy for its member states.The book takes the form of national reports which explain the development of the law and also shed light on how the law works in practice. The book also contains thematic reports which look at each area of the law from a comparative perspective. Commentators from around the globe reflect on their impression of Asian consumer law based on their own differing legal systems and benchmarks.A must-read for anyone with an interest in consumer law in Asia and beyond, this book will form the basis of further research and discussion internationally.

Accordingly, the focus on the Asian dispute resolution market with a distinctly American and European “touch” is one of the book’s most unique features.The dispute resolution market is rapidly transforming, and dispute resolution law is changing with it –especially in Asia.

Unternehmen erzielen durch die Verletzungen fremder Rechtsgüter und Marktverhaltenspflichten hohe Unrechtsgewinne. Das Recht scheint weder über ein rechtspolitisches Programm noch über effiziente Instrumente zur Verhinderung solcher Gewinne zu verfügen. André Janssen geht der Frage nach, ob eine haftungsrechtlich verankerte und präventiv ausgerichtete Gewinnabschöpfung hier Abhilfe schaffen kann. Dazu befasst er sich zunächst mit den Grundlagen haftungsrechtlicher Verhaltenssteuerung. Anschließend untersucht er die Teilrechtsgebiete, in denen bereits eine vorteilsorientierte Haftung besteht und als Nukleus einer allgemeinen präventiven Gewinnabschöpfung dienen könnten: das Immaterialgüterrecht, das Persönlichkeitsrecht und das Kartelldeliktsrecht. Anhand der dort erarbeiteten Ergebnisse werden die Konturen der präventiven Gewinnabschöpfung nachgezeichnet. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei ihre optimale Ausgestaltung und ihr optimaler Anwendungsbereich sowie die Realisierungschancen de lege lata und de lege ferenda.

Disgorgement of profits is not exactly a household word in private law. In such cases, the question arises whether the infringing party should be disgorged of his profits. This volume aims at establishing the notion of disgorgement of profits as a keyword in the discourse of private law.
