Read the informative proceedings of the international conference in Katowice as to the topics: - Interpretation of foreign law by German courts - Theories of interpretation in private law - Interpretation of contracts under the German BGB and under the CFR - Interpretation of the juridical acts - a comparative perspective - The „common“ interpretation of national law - Iuris cogentis and iuris dispositivi rules / provisions in contract and corporate law - Relevance of circumstances in which the contract was concluded - Is there „the one true interpretation of a law“? - Is the wording of the law a limitation for its interpretation?

Torts have, for quite some time, attracted sustained attention and discussion in legal doctrine and judicature. These conference proceedings cover a variety of areas relating to current problems in tort law, presented by renowned scholars from Poland and Germany. Topics range from fundamental aspects, such as wrongfulness in tort, to specific issues, such as the liability of companies and their agents, tort and electronic business, personality rights, medical liability and the new conflict-of-law rules under the Rome II regulation.

These conference proceedings contain eight papers by renowned Polish and German authors on important questions of the law of e-commerce. Along with general questions on conclusion of contract and burden of proof focus is also kept on the field of banking law and law of financial services.
