The Contribution of Mixed Legal Systems to European Private Law

This book brings together a number of essays on the contribution that the so-called mixed legal systems can make to the emergence of a European private law. The contributions discuss different aspects of the law of Scotland, South Africa and Louisiana, as well as some general methodological aspects of mixing legal systems, all in their relationship with the development from a new ius commune for Europe. This book contains contributions from Robin Evans-Jones, Gerhard Lubbe, Johann Neethling, Anthony Ogus, Vernon Palmer, Alan Watson and Jan Smits.
