European Tort Law Yearbook

2024

2023

Studies of the Oxford Institute of European and Comparative Law

The leading Spanish language treatise on the law on torts has now been translated into English, making it accessible to jurists, scholars and practitioners throughout the world. It addresses the central analytical questions in modern tort theory by reference to first principles, explaining how doctrinal tension has resulted from the law's evolution. The book also offers a theoretical framework for understanding and analysing the doctrines behind the main tort rules found in different jurisdictions, including their interrelationship and historical development. Steeped in Chilean legal doctrine and case law on torts, it also considers authorities from Britain, Germany, the USA, France and Spain. This is a magisterial and important work.

A Comparative Perspective

The Foundations of Tort Law in the Civilian Tradition

Studien zum Privatrecht

Robert Lamersdorf examines fiduciary relationships-relationships in which one party has both the power and the duty to pursue and safeguard the other party's interests to the best of its discretion. Fiduciary relationships are of great intrinsic and instrumental value. Yet the power held by a fiduciary entails manifold opportunities for abuse. From the perspective of comparative law and with reference to U.S. fiduciary law, the author explores what legal safeguards are required, in view of the risk of abuse, to enable a productive fiduciary cooperation. In doing so, he focuses in particular on the limits of what the law can achieve directly. One core thesis is that coercion, liability, and sanctions create indispensable counter-incentives to the abuse of power, but can secure trust and loyalty only to a limited extent. Effective cooperation in a fiduciary relationship instead depends to a significant degree on an extralegal normative infrastructure that can be described, in summary, as a "culture of trust." This includes internalized social and moral norms, social roles, habits, dispositions, and basic assumptions. Robert Lamersdorf shows that this constitutes a form of social capital that bears the characteristics of a public good and is therefore threatened by underinvestment and negative externalities. Building on this, he develops a further thesis: fiduciary law has a regulatory function, namely to protect and preserve this social capital and thus the public good of "trust in fiduciaries."

Vertrauen und Treue in Interessenwahrungsverhältnissen

Tim Robers deals with all private law declarations that, by their very nature, still require supplementation in order for the intended contractual arrangement to be concluded. In doing so, he distinguishes between "blanket" obligations (Blankettschuldverhältnisse) and "blank" declarations in the strict sense (Blanketterklärungen i.e.S.). Blanket obligations are in conflict with the contractual law requirement of certainty. Tim Robers therefore provides a detailed analysis of its content and underlying guiding principles. In addition, the author examines the three central methods by which the parties can specify their obligation: by making the determination themselves (by means of a supplementary agreement), by delegating the power of determination to one party or to a third person, and by an automated linkage to a reference value. It becomes apparent that the constellations governed by §§ 315 et seq. BGB (German Civil Code) are, in dogmatic terms, cases of permitted self-dealing (§ 181 BGB), and that automatic adjustment clauses constitute an autonomous mechanism "in between" self-determination and delegation. Tim Robers explores in depth the consequences of these findings for the interpretation of §§ 315 et seq. BGB and for the legal treatment of automatic adjustment clauses. "Blank" declarations in the strict sense-i.e., texts with gaps that are handed over to another party for completion-are likewise classified as cases of representation. On the dogmatic foundation thus established, the author develops solutions to a wide range of specific issues, for example liability where completion occurs contrary to instructions. For concealed "blank" instruments, he shows that what matters is the distinction between an agent (representative) and a messenger, and he examines this delineation in detail. Finally, the study investigates the potential of the so-called "principles of the blank declaration" for addressing case constellations specific to digitalization.

Rechtsgeschäftliche Blankette

In the event of non-fulfilment of contractual performance obligations, under which conditions and at what level can a creditor demand compensation from a debtor? And can alleviating the burden of proof be counted on by the creditor in such cases? David Philipp Paulus deals with these perennial bones of contention to develop a system that accommodates both the delimitations and prerequisites of the various categories of compensation in breach of contract law.

The Modern Law of Contract

Umfassend aktualisiert zeigt die Kommentierung die systematischen Zusammenhänge des internationalen Sachenrechts auf. Sie geht dabei auf komplexe Rechtsfragen, wie die Reichweite der Parteiautonomie, grenzüberschreitendes Kreditsicherungsrecht, die Abgrenzung zu digitalen Vermögenswerten wie Kryptowährungen, das internationale Umweltrecht oder die komplexe Thematik von Raubkunst, Kulturgüterschutz und Restitution ein.

J. von Staudingers Kommentar zum Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuch mit Einführungsgesetz und Nebengesetzen

Staudinger Artikel 43-46 EGBGB (Internationales Sachenrecht)

The author investigates how companies based in Germany can structure sustainability standards within international supply chains in a legally effective and enforceable manner. Recognizing that human rights and environmental standards increasingly shape global trade, the study examines the contractual instruments available to integrate and operationalize such requirements. It explores the interplay between voluntary commitments and binding legal frameworks - particularly the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (
 Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz,
 LkSG), the EU Corporate Social Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), and the Forced Labour Regulation (EUFLR) - against the backdrop of German contract law and the CISG. The analysis defines what constitutes an effective sustainability standard: one that can be enforced before courts or arbitral tribunals, clearly incorporated into the contract, and endowed with sufficient normative force. The study also addresses the position of sellers, who may face asymmetrical burdens, and identifies the contractual limits necessary to protect weaker parties. By combining legal analysis with practical implications, the work contributes both to scholarly discourse and to the broader pursuit of sustainable corporate governance.

The Future of Private Law

This book rigorously debates the notion of the person, a fundamental concept which underpins national private law orders worldwide. In the 20th century, the unity of the person came under pressure - firstly through the rise of labour law and then secondly (post-World War II) through consumer law. The book moves this debate on, exploring the ongoing fragmentation of the concept of the person and the unique challenges that this gives rise to, and suggesting how this might impact on the future of private law. The book asks three questions: *are the 'subject' of the 19th-century Codes or the 'person' of 20th-century constitutions useful categories of reference for the person? *could fundamental rights, currently central to the notion of the person, be replaced by forms of the 'impersonal'? *how, and why, should subjectivities be rethought in the age of infocracy and autocracies? Thought-provoking and paradigm-shifting, this is a fascinating examination of the bedrock of private law.

The Future of the Person

Hohe und stetig steigende Grundstückspreise in Deutschland führen dazu, dass das Erbbaurecht weiter an praktischer Bedeutung gewinnt. Die Neubearbeitung des ErbbauRG berücksichtigt die aktuellen Entwicklungen in Rechtsprechung und Literatur, etwa zur Verlängerung von Wohnungserbbaurechten. Sie legt ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Kautelarpraxis, etwa betreffend den Schutz existenznotwendiger Dienstbarkeiten, entwickelt neue Gedanken und weist auf Reformbedarf hin.

Staudinger ErbbauRG (Erbbaurechtsgesetz)

Seit dem 1.5.2025 gilt das neue Namensrecht. Ziele der Reform waren die Liberalisierung und Internationalisierung des deutschen Namensrechts. Möglich ist nun z.B. ein einheitlicher Doppelname für Eheleute und Kinder. Die Kommentierung bietet Orientierung für die Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für Kinder nach Scheidung, Wiederheirat und Volljährigkeit. Eingeordnet werden zudem die Namensoptionen für Minderheiten und ausländische Namenstraditionen.
