German Civil Code Volume I and II = Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB)

The commentary
of each article is headed by the version of the article at the time of publication (Volume 1: 2018; Volume 2: 2022) both in the German original and an English translation followed by a clearly and uniformly structured analysis of the provision.
Focus is laid on the understanding of the purpose and meaning of the provision in the context of the code and the correct use of the terminology both in German and English. As the meaning of the BGB does not always follow from the
wording of its provisions, especially if translated into another language, further explanation is absolutely essential.
Facing this challenge, the commentary meets the expectations both of German and foreign lawyers by providing the correct terminology and explanation in English to lawyers and translators and by offering a systematic overview on the BGB to lawyers who are not very familiar with German civil law.
