Studien zum Privatrecht

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

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)

It is a fundamental principle of justice that a person cannot be made subject to the jurisdiction of the English court without valid notification via the service of proceedings. The procedure and law surrounding the service of documents nevertheless remains a frequently misunderstood aspect of English civil procedure. Mistakes in service can lead to satellite disputes, adverse judgments, jurisdictional challenges, lost claims, and allegations of professional negligence. Service in Civil Proceedings: Law and Practice is the definitive practitioner's text on the rules and principles governing service in civil and commercial proceedings both in and out of jurisdiction. Written by two experienced commercial barristers, it combines rigorous analysis with practical insights drawn from years of experience. It does not follow the strict structure of the Civil Procedure Rules (or international instruments), but rather the sequence in which issues typically arise in practice. The text provides detailed guidance on service of the claim form (and other documents) within the jurisdiction of England and Wales and internationally. It includes dedicated sections on both service within and out of jurisdiction, as well as the practical mechanics of effecting service abroad (including under the Hague Service Convention). Readers will also find guidance for more complex situations, including 'saving applications' to extend time for service, seeking alternative service, or even dispensing with the procedure. Finally, there is coverage of linked topics, including the commencement of proceedings and timing, as well as service issues that arise from the defendant's perspective, including the process and law for challenging service and jurisdiction pursuant to CPR Part 11. Fully aligned with the latest amendments to the CPR, the international position, and case law, this work offers clarity on these intricate rules and practical guidance for their application. Designed to assist in both routine and complex scenarios, it is an essential resource for civil and commercial litigators.

International Studies in the Theory of Private Law

This book examines the English and German version of the numerus clausus principle which holds that there is a closed list of permitted property rights. It challenges recent views that the principle renders property law inflexible and unable to accommodate social and economic changes. Relying on a novel approach combining property theory and comparative research of English and German law, it argues that the restrictions the principle imposes on the creation of new property types actually does accommodate social changes through a process of 'functional transformation' of the existing property rights. This is a fascinating, unique study, that makes a rigorous, original contribution to property law theory.

DGV-Studienreihe Öffentliche Verwaltung

Das Fall- und Übungsbuch ergänzt das gleichnamige Lehrbuch zum allgemeinen Privatrecht (Bürgerlichen Recht/Allgemeinen Zivilrecht) aus der Perspektive der öffentlichen Verwaltung, wobei es auch unabhängig davon genutzt werden kann. Es dient der Wiederholung und Festigung des ausschließlich praxis- und prüfungsrelevanten Basiswissens, indem das allgemeine Privatrecht aus drei Blickwinkeln betrachtet wird:
- Prüfungsschemata und Übersichten,
- Begriffsbestimmungen (Definitionen) sowie
- Übungsfälle mit ausformulierten Lösungsvorschlägen.
Diese Elemente ermöglichen einen schnellen Zugriff auf das Wesentliche; die Lösungsvorschläge im Gutachtenstil zeigen, wie Lehrbuchwissen in einer Fallbearbeitung konkret "aufgeschrieben&gt; werden kann.
Zielgruppe sind in erster Linie Auszubildende, Fortzubildende sowie Studierende auf ihrem Weg zum Verwaltungswirt, Verwaltungsfachwirt, Verwaltungsbetriebswirt, Betriebswirt oder Bachelorabschluss in der "Öffentlichen Verwaltung" an Fachhochschulen, Studieninstituten und Akademien.
Zum Einsatz kommt es u. a. an der Fachhochschule Güstrow, dem Kommunalen Studieninstitut M-V sowie der Verwaltungs- und Wirtschaftsakademie M-V. Verwendung finden kann es aber bundesweit. Privatrecht ist ganz überwiegend Bundesrecht.

The Modern Law of Contract

Mit der Neubearbeitung des gesetzlichen Güterrechts erhält die Kommentierung eine grundlegend neue Konzeption. Sie bringt Rechtsprechung und Literatur auf den aktuellen Stand und legt einen besonderen Schwerpunkt darauf, die Struktur der einzelnen Normen und deren systematisches Zusammenspiel sichtbar zu machen. Außerdem werden dogmatisch bislang wenig diskutierte Themen - etwa zum Revokationsrecht - vertieft. Zugleich arbeitet die Kommentierung die seit der letzten Reform des Zugewinnausgleichsrechts intensiv geführten Diskussionen um Legitimation und Zukunft des gesetzlichen Güterstands auf. Sie bündelt die vielfältigen Angriffe auf das geltende System, analysiert Reformvorschläge und unterzieht sie einer kritischen Bewertung. Damit bietet der Band nicht nur eine zuverlässige Orientierung im geltenden Recht, sondern zugleich eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung mit dessen Weiterentwicklung.

The Future of Private Law

This seminal book develops a new perspective on the debate concerning the Europeanisation of private law.


The theory is both realistic, building on existing experience, and normative as it focuses on the future. It outlines 'good' Europeanisation in which legal sources can be used across borders; hence the free movement of legal ideas. At its core, is the analysis of the legal consequences of growing societal uncertainty and increasing use of micro-politics, leading to a situation where the law develops through small narratives rather than according to a coherent master plan. The inevitable rule of law concerns around such a development, have to be addressed by transparent legal reasoning. 

The author masterfully illustrates how this can be achieved in decision-making across Europe, drawing on arguments which are both substantive and authoritative in nature. He shows how all legal actors, including decision-makers and scholars, are morally responsible for the choices made.

This is a fascinating intervention in the field of European private law by one of its leading authorities.

Modern Studies in European Law

In this book a team of expert contributors address challenging issues concerning the relationship between private law and the rule of law and human rights, with specific focus on case studies from South-Eastern Europe. The book examines the broadening application of human rights to the private law fields and the resulting effects. Contributors offer a truly interdisciplinary perspective drawn from comparative law, civil law, procedural law and public law. By so doing, for the first time, they offer insights into the fascinating questions the region poses for private law and human rights.
