This work reflects its European nature, with contributions from leading experts across the continent. It offers a detailed analysis of each article, utilizing relevant case law and doctrine to propose clear, practical solutions for contentious issues.

The Brussels Ibis Regulation is to become by far the most prominent cornerstone of the European law of international civil procedure. Its imminence can be easily ascertained by every practitioner even remotely concerned with cross-border work in Europe. However arcane private international law in general might appear to practitioners - the Brussels I Regulation was a well-known and renowned instrument and the Brussels Ibis Regulation will become so as its proper heir. The so called Brussels system has proven its immeasurable and incomparable value for over forty years. The European Court of Justice and the national courts of the Member States have produced an abundance and a treasure of judgments interpreting the Brussels Convention and the Brussels I Regulation. The effort of completing a truly pan-European commentary mirrors the pan-European nature of its fascinating object

In October 2011, the European Commission introduced its Proposal for a Regulation on a Common European Sales Law (CESL) which covers inter alia international business sales – a subject already regulated by the Convention of International Sale of Goods (CISG) which was ratified by 78 member states. How does this new Proposal fit the existing uniform sales law? How have other regions of the world managed the coexistence of global and regional sales law unification? What can Europe learn from the U. S. experience concerning the CISG and the Uniform Commercial Code? What can we learn from the African OHADA which made CISG more or less the internal law of 17 African states, what from Australia where CISG and common law exist alongside? All these questions are intensely discussed in this highly recommendable book written by renowned authors like Larry DiMatteo, Harry Flechtner, Franco Ferrari, Robert Koch, Ulrich Magnus and Bruno Zeller.

Die vorliegende Untersuchung stellt eine rechtsvergleichende Studie zu den unterschiedlichen Haftungsregelungen bei Verletzungen, die durch Dienstleistungen auf dem privaten Sektor verursacht werden, dar. Sie berücksichtigt sowohl die vertragliche als auch die deliktische Haftung. Das Werk beleuchtet zahlreiche Haftungsfragen in unterschiedlichen Dienstleistungssektoren unter Berücksichtigung der länderspezifischen Regelungen. Hierbei stehen jedoch Personenschäden, d. h. Fragen, die im Zusammenhang mit dem Leben, der körperlichen Unversehrtheit sowie der Gesundheit stehen, im Vordergrund; nicht berücksichtigt sind Sachschäden. Die Untersuchung geht von den Erkenntnissen der rechtsvergleichenden Lehre aus und prüft dabei acht verschiedene Rechtsysteme: namentlich das englische, französische, deutsche, italienische, spanische, schwedische und das US-amerikanische Recht. Berücksichtigt wird auch, soweit es bereits existiert, das EU-Recht. Damit sind die größten Rechtsysteme abgedeckt, die ihrerseits auch Einfluss auf die Systeme vieler anderer Staaten haben. Das Hauptziel der Arbeit ist es, Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede der verschiedenen Rechtssysteme aufzuzeigen, um die Basis für ein gemeinsames europäisches Recht zu erarbeiten. Die Arbeit richtet sich an Zivilrechtler und Europarechtler sowie alle rechtsvergleichend arbeitenden Juristen.
