Overview

An authoritative account of the German law of obligations after the reform legislation of 2002 and a critical assessment of the new law in historical and comparative perspective. The analysis covers the new regime concerning liability for general non-performance, non-conformity in sales law, the incorporation of a number of special statutes aimed at the protection of consumers, and examines how the reform has moved German contract law considerably closer to European thinking patterns.
