European Private Law - Survey 2002-2004

Abstract

Over the past four years, this Review has published Chronicles of European Private Law over the periods 1998-2000 and 2000-2002. The present Chronicle purports to provide an update to these surveys until the summer of 2004. Like its predecessors, it is divided into four Parts: 1. Public Measures at Harmonization; 2. Private Efforts at Harmonization; 3. The Various Parts of Private Law; 4. Legal Literature on a Nation-by-Nation Basis. For reasons of space, civil procedure, private international law and specific contracts such as sale of goods and insurance will not be covered, while company law, commercial law and consumer law will only be dealt with in a very concise way.
