Zusammenfassung:Using the Canadian experience as a model, Jan Jakob Bornheim shows that the efficient interaction of common law and civil law can take place on both vertical and horizontal planes.
Das kanadische Zivilrecht bewahrt das englische und das kontinentaleuropäische Erbe. Jan Jakob Bornheim weist nach, dass eine effiziente Koexistenz der beiden Rechtssysteme möglich ist und zeigt Alternativen zur Rechtsvereinheitlichung im Einheitsstaat auf.
Jan Jakob Bornheim analyses the hypothesis about the inherent efficiency of common law compared to civil law. He examines key commercial property law concepts (i.e., ownership and security interests in relation to movables) and determines the characteristics of each system with regard to these. Using the Canadian experience as a model, he then takes a close look at how the two legal systems interact, arguing that efficient interaction can take place on both vertical and horizontal planes. On the vertical plane, property law would be able to interact with higher-level law (e.g., federal law in a federal state); on the horizontal plane, property laws of different jurisdictions could interact through the conflict of laws. The author also contends that equitable property rights, including constructive trusts as a response to unjust enrichment, should be governed by property law choice-of-law rules.
