The Property and Trust Law volume of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws
series deals with the diversity of rights and interests in all kinds of
property and assets. Because property law has developed along completely
different lines in the diverse legal families, this practical
country-by-country analysis and guide takes a functional approach to the
subject matter. The perception that legal solutions, concepts, terms and
mechanisms vary, and may even seem at some points to be diametrically opposed,
should not conceal the fact that such solutions are often functionally
equivalent, in spite of their technical or conceptual differences.
This work primarily contains national monographs, based on a standard outline.
Due to the tremendous differences in concepts and terminology used in
different parts of the world, authors may adapt the structure of their texts
to the specific and concrete aspects of their own systems.
In addition to national monographs, this work will also focus on international
treaties and conventions related to property and trust law.
For each country covered the work provides the following:
