Comparative Private Law

The course held by Prof. Alonso, Babusiaux, Hadžimanović, Fiocchi and Fragu will introduce students to the methods of Comparative Private Law. In doing so, the course will present topical examples of Comparative Private Law in the field of Contract Law, Property Law and Consumer Protection Law.
