A comparison of German moveable property law and English personal property law
Year: 2008
Type: preprint
Abstract: It is a commonplace that, within commercial law, the law of personal property is particularly important, and it is also obvious that commercial law deals to a large extent with cross-border transactions and business relationships. This article gives an overview of German moveable property law, since some knowledge of moveable (personal) property law of a foreign major European jurisdiction is valuable to trade and commerce as well as to comparative studies. However, there does not seem to be a concise synopsis of this area available to the English lawyer, and this article wants to remedy this situation. Although the following account is not more than a slightly extended outline, it tries to cover all relevant and interrelated topics, from the law of possession to the various types of security rights in German law.
