Details

This book explores the comparative issues in the relationship between property law and contract law in English and Spanish law. It also draws on other jurisdictions. Little is written on this (in either English or Spanish), meaning it gives English private lawyers exposure to material previously not easily accessible. It goes further, however, than simply setting out similarities/differences: it provides an insightful analysis of both systems key points of interest.
