Transnational Mortgage Law  

Reconstructing the Global Framework for Housing Finance

Guido Comparato and Irina Domurath

 

This book uncovers the legal principles and rules around mortgages devised by various institutions beyond the national dimension.

 

Mortgages have become a transferable commodity with the potential to affect international financial stability and consumer welfare, and are now being subject to a process of transnationalisation.

 

The book reconstructs the development of mortgage law and considers its interaction with transnational law. It highlights the emergence of new policy objectives and rationales for regulation that have led to changes in the structure and functions of mortgage laws, identifying tensions between the goals of risk mitigation, financial stability, consumer protection, and housing justice.

 

Guido Comparato is Senior Lecturer in Law at Birkbeck College, University of London, UK.

Irina Domurath is Assistant Professor at the University of Padova, Italy.

Default Rules in Private Law  

Edited by Birke Häcker and Johannes Ungerer

 

This landmark publication tackles default rules in private law in comparative perspective. Often underestimated, default rules are non-mandatory rules that kick in where nothing else has been agreed or provided.

 

The contributions include:

- 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.

 

Birke Häcker is Schlegel Professor of Civil Law, Common Law and Comparative Law, and Director of the Institute of International and Comparative Private Law, University of Bonn, Germany.

Johannes Ungerer is Erich Brost Senior Research Lecturer in German Law, European and International Private Law at the Law Faculty and St Hilda's College, University of Oxford, UK, as well as Global Associate Professor of Law, University of Notre Dame (USA) in England.
