Inhaltskontrolle im nationalen und Europäischen Privatrecht

Within a private law system, whose fundamental principle is private autonomy, content control raises significant and fundamental questions. Over the past few decades the trend of strengthening content control in nearly all fields of private law has become apparent. Against this backdrop and from a comparative law perspective, the authors of this volume discuss fundamental issues including historical development, the relationship between interpretation and content control, the basic legal warranty and aspects of content control in selected legal fields such as employment law, inheritance law, and international private law as well as specific questions.
