Private Law Theory

This book develops a new perspective on the debate concerning the Europeanisation of private law. It analyses the legal consequences of growing societal uncertainty and the increasing use of micro-politics, leading to a situation where the law develops through small narratives rather than according to a coherent master plan. The inevitable rule of law concerns have to be addressed by transparent legal reasoning. The author illustrates how this can be achieved in decision-making across Europe, drawing on arguments which are both substantive and authoritative in nature. A fascinating intervention in the field of European private law.
