’The book will be a storehouse of information about the legal cultures of the countries. The editors are to be congratulated on organising the transnational effort to impose order on a disorderly subject (or non-subject).’ The International and Comparative Law Quarterly ’The comparative methods used in the book both in structuring the national reports and in offering a comparative analysis, are highly praiseworthy.’ Professor Dr U Drobnig, Max-Planck-Institut, Germany
