Sommario/riassunto

Exploring the advantages and disadvantages of codifying contract law, this book considers the question from the perspectives of both civil and common law systems, referring in detail to issues of international and consumer law. With contributions from leading international scholars, the chapters present a range of opinions on issues such as the virtues of codification, first codification attempts, regional issues and the pre-requisite of internationalization, encouraging further debate on the topic of codification reforms.
