| Summary |
"Lex Mercatoria - a doctrine of transnational commercial law - can work for the every-day legal practice of the international practitioner. The Creeping Codification of the Lex Mercatoria introduces a method for the codification of transnational commercial law for precisely this purpose. The book first analyses the doctrinal basis of the modern lex mercatoria and introduces a coherent systematic framework of transnational commercial law. It then describes previous and modern efforts towards the codification of the lex mercatoria, such as the UNIDROIT-Principles and the principles of European Contract Law drafted by the Lando-Commission. As an alternative to these procedures, this book presents the idea of Creeping Codification of Transnational Commercial Law, a comprehensive, regularly updated list of over 60 principles and rules together with reference from arbitral case law, domestic legislation, international conventions and legal doctrine."--BOOK JACKET |
