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.

"Was tut sich beim Strafschadensersatz, wie wird weltweit mit ihm umgegangen? Die Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes erörtern die Ablehnung von Strafschadensersatz in zivilrechtlichen Rechtsordnungen, seine Fortentwicklung im US-Recht und jüngere internationale Trends, um die Frage zu beantworten: ""Wer hat (noch) Angst vor Strafschadensersatz?"" In 1992, the German Bundesgerichtshof held that 'enforcing lump-sum punitive damages of a not inconsiderable amount in Germany is clearly incompatible with fundamental principles of German law'. Whereas German courts have maintained this outright rejection of foreign punitive damages awards, many other jurisdictions have developed a more nuanced approach in recent years. Against this background, this first of two volumes dedicated to the changing law of damages addresses the reasons for the general hostility to punitive damages in civil law jurisdictions, their evolution in US law, and recent developments in international law before looking more closely at six countries to answer the question: 'Who is (Still) Afraid of Punitive Damages?'"
