Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining three aspects of law in three major European jurisdictions, this comparative analysis considers the differing approaches to common areas of law in England, France and Germany. In particular, the sources of law, legal rules against the state in order to prevent abuse of state power and the state's mechanism of compulsion by private individuals and organisations against each other are examined and compared while the system of courts is also considered. Fully updated and revised each sub-topic is introduced with the relevant material in the English system, allowing easy comparison and assimilation of the other systems. The text includes translations of relevant French and German codal material, and references to a wide variety of relevant cases from all the jurisdictions. This new edition has been brought right up to date and includes; the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights, devolution in the UK, revisions to the Civil Code in Germany and a wide variety of new case law. Designed for undergraduates on a comparative law course, this textbook will also prove valuable to students who are familiar with English law but require a good introduction to French or German law.
