    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    Gibt es eine theoretische und praktische Begründung für die Abgrenzung der Gesetzesumgehung von anderen Rechtsinstituten und ihrer ausdrücklichen Regelung im Privatrecht? Dorota Miler vergleicht das polnische, deutsche und europäische Recht und die jeweiligen Rechtsprechungen miteinander. Sie kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die Rechtsumgehung ein eigenständiges Rechtsinstitut im polnischen Privatrecht darstellt. Is there a theoretical and practical justification for distinguishing circumvention of law from other causes of defects in legal transactions and its explicit legal regulation in private law? Dorota Miler compares the Polish, German and European private law, jurisprudence, and legal literature. She concludes that circumvention of law is an independent legal institution in Polish private law.

    Long description:

    Gibt es eine theoretische und praktische Begründung für die Abgrenzung der Gesetzesumgehung von anderen Rechtsinstituten und ihrer ausdrücklichen Regelung im Privatrecht? Dorota Miler vergleicht das polnische, deutsche und europäische Recht und die jeweiligen Rechtsprechungen miteinander. Sie kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die Rechtsumgehung ein eigenständiges Rechtsinstitut im polnischen Privatrecht darstellt. Circumvention of law is inherent to all legal systems. It is possible - by undertaking certain transactions - to exclude the application of statutory provisions that prevent the accomplishment of certain results and, to instead, take advantage of provisions that allow the achievement of these results. What differs between legal systems is the significance that each legal system attaches to the concept of circumvention of law. Dorota Miler answers the question of whether there is a theoretical and practical justification for distinguishing circumvention of law from other causes of defects in legal transactions and its explicit legal regulation based on the comparison of Polish, German and European law, jurisprudence, and legal literature. The author concludes that circumvention of law is an independent legal institution in Polish private law.
