Die Reform des französischen Haftungsrechts im europäischen Kontext
Die französischen Bestimmungen zur vertraglichen und außervertraglichen Haftung sowie zum allgemeinen Schadensrecht ( responsabilité civile ) sind seit der Schaffung des Code civil im Jahre 1804 weitgehend unverändert. Rechtsprechung und Wissenschaft haben die Fortentwicklung dieses Regelungsbereichs in erheblichem Umfang geprägt. Schließlich legte der Justizminister im Jahre 2017 einen Entwurf für eine grundlegende Reform vor. Im Juli 2020 wurde…
A source of inspiration for legal historians

The author also puts forward his own hypotheses concerning the Saxon Mirror. The Saxon Mirror has to be studied together with othe…
Who were the makers of customary law in medieval Europe? Some answers based on sources about the spokesmen of Flemish feudal courts
Due to a lack of sources, the makers of customary law in the middle ages are largely unknown to us. However, a unique source, the Lois des pers du castel de Lille , makes it possible to identify the spokesmen of customary law courts, who were the intellectual authors of these courts' judgements and, thus, the main creators of customary law. An analysis of their careers shows that they were legal advisers, lords and/or bailiffs and members or spok…
