Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch

Our hand commentary makes a promise and delivers on it: concise, understandable, and solution-oriented. This work is the efficient companion for studies, internships, and the daily life of law firms and courts. And all this at an unbeatable price. All important regulations related to the BGB are commented on: AGG, Protection Against Violence Act, Equalization of Pension Rights Act, International Private Law of the EGBGB, Rome Regulations, international treaties.

The new edition is precisely aligned with the major reforms. The legislator has restructured entire areas of the BGB: The amended provisions in guardianship and care law have a completely new arrangement – they also modernize areas that have remained unchanged since the BGB came into force. The reform of partnership law expands the possibilities for the GbR and implements existing case law into new regulations. The reform of foundation law fundamentally brings together previously scattered provisions from federal and state laws.
