Résumé Extrait Résumé des informations

In times of globalization and internationalisation comparative legal studies play an ever more important role. Especially against the backdrop of trying to foster understanding of different cultures as well as to enhance the development of domestic legal systems and thereby improve one’s own law , comparative law studies are becoming increasingly significant.

Comparative legal studies can be defined as the purposeful analysis of different laws or legal systems through the use of one or more approaches. Comparative law consists of the fields ‘private international law’, ‘the making of law’, ‘the interpretation and application of the law’, ‘the confluence of the law and the development of general common principles’ and ‘the unification of the law’ .
The aim of this essay is to explain these five basic fields in which comparative legal studies are employed and to illustrate these subjects by giving examples.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

The first chapter examines the role of comparative law in private international law, which is also known as conflict of laws. It discusses the interaction between comparative law and private international law, highlighting the importance of comparative law in determining which legal system should be applied in cases with foreign connections. The chapter provides an example of the case Conklin v Horner, which demonstrates how courts often choose the "better" law among potentially applicable ones in cases with foreign connections.

The second chapter explores the influence of comparative legal studies on making law. It discusses how comparative law can be used to reform domestic legal systems and to give legal effect to social changes that are shared by foreign countries. The chapter illustrates this point by referencing the concept of the German limited liability company, which served as a model for the development of similar corporate forms in other countries.

The third chapter examines the role of comparative legal studies in the interpretation and application of law. It discusses how comparative law can assist in the construction of national rules when they are doubtful or incomplete. The chapter provides an example of the case Greatorex v Greatorex, which demonstrates how courts often refer to foreign case decisions when applying domestic law.
