<i>‘The book is a “must read” for anybody interested in the future development of European private law.’</i>
- European Private Law News,
<i>‘This volume contains a valuable collection of essays by a group of reputable academics, each dealing with a particular aspect of the development of a substantive law of contract at European level. The contributors have a variety of interests and perspectives. The topic is clearly of great current interest throughout the European Union and beyond.’</i>
- Peter Stone, University of Essex, UK,
‘European Private Law after the Common Frame of Reference <i>brings together several interesting contributions from a distinguished group of scholars, and sheds light on the important issue of legal harmonization from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective.’</i>
- Francesco Parisi, University of Minnesota, US and University of Bologna, Italy,
<i>‘The Common Frame of Reference has several potential functions, some reconcilable, others mutually exclusive. Its size, its shape, its true legal nature and its content - all remain contested. Modest or ambitious, toolbox or code-in-waiting? Its chameleon character is its strength and simultaneously its weakness, and equally the reason why it has attracted such attention. In this book the editors have assembled a veritable “who’s who” in the field and it is a terrific read.’</i>
