Details

Drawing on the experience of recognised experts from across a range of different fields and jurisdictions, this landmark publication tackles default rules in private law in comparative perspective. Often underestimated, but highly influential, default rules are non-mandatory rules that kick in where nothing else has been agreed or provided.

The contributions explore default rules from a variety of angles relevant to both scholarship and legal practice, including:

behavioural aspects and the role of platform terms in the digital age
the remit and operation of defaults in different areas, ranging from contract and commercial law to succession, civil procedure and private international law
a comparison between Common law and Civilian approaches as well as the EU level
the perspectives of different 'players' engaged in the generation and application of default rules
