Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘Comparative research is foundational for the understanding of foreign law and of one’s own law, for stimulating legal reform, for harmonizing laws. It may tackle entire legal orders or single issues. Moura Vicente chooses a middle course; in a systematic way he deals with the law of obligations (contracts, torts, restitution) covering a wide range of both common law and civil law systems. His international expertise witnessed by many comparative law publications in Portuguese, is now accessible to a broader community.’ -- Jürgen Basedow, Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Private Law, Germany
