This book analyses the alterations to this remedy during the nineteenth century on the substantive, procedural and enforcement levels. Fascinatingly, there is a link between changes to the remedy and the development of early human rights and the mass industrialisation of society. The latter had the effect of actually converging the national remedies of specific performance in the examined systems: damages and rescission became more accessible as remedies at the cost of specific performance. The book demonstrates the interdependency between law and society and provides vital background information to the harmonisation of a controversial concept in the European Law of Obligations.    Studies in the History of Private Law , volume 2Legal history library ;v. 4.Legal history library.Studies in the history of private law ;v. 2.Specific performanceGermanyHistory19th centurySpecific performanceFranceHistory19th centurySpecific performanceNetherlandsHistory19th centurySpecific performanceHistorySpecific performanceHistorySpecific performanceHistory346.02/2Oosterhuis Janwillem740188MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790141103321Specific performance in German, French and Dutch law in the nineteenth century1467218UNINA
