Brought right up to date, this fully revised new edition includes the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights and devolution in the UK, revisions to the Civil Code in Germany and a wide variety of new case law. A truly comparative analysis considering the differing approaches to common areas of law in England, France and Germany, it is ideal for both undergraduates on comparative law courses and students who require a good introduction to French or German law.

Introducing the sub-topics in each chapter with the relevant material from the English system, this book provides straightforward comparison, analysis and easy assimilation of other systems. With a wealth of translations of relevant French and German codal material and references to a wide selection of cases it examines:

• constitutions
• sources of law
• system of courts
• human rights
• contract and tort.

An invaluable tool for those studying comparative law, international law and European law
