The book titled Concurrence in European Private Law (EAN: 9789462361348) examines the intersection and coexistence of different legal regimes within European private law. This work likely addresses how various areas of private law—such as contract law, tort law, and property law—overlap and interact with each other across EU Member States. Given the complexity of the legal systems within Europe, the book explores the implications of these intersections in the context of harmonization efforts within the European Union.

It may focus on themes such as:

• The role of EU regulations and directives in shaping private law across Member States.
• Conflicts of laws and the determination of which jurisdiction’s laws should apply in cross-border private legal issues.
• Comparative analysis of national legal systems, with an eye on how EU private law frameworks are applied.
• Legal pluralism in Europe, considering the diverse legal traditions within the EU.
• Harmonization and fragmentation within European private law, addressing tensions between a unified legal framework and national legal autonomy.

The book could be of interest to legal scholars, practitioners, and policymakers involved in the development of private law across Europe, offering insights into the challenges and opportunities of harmonizing private law at the European level.

Contents of the book

Inspired by the experiences gained from examining several national systems of private law, the book starts from the premise that each rule, however founded, should be realised to the greatest possible extent. In principle, the existence of one rule does not, therefore, affect the scope of application of another rule.
