National Reports on the Transfer of Movables in Europe: Volume 4: France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Poland, Portugal

This excellent series of books presents a comparative study, an analysis, and an evaluation of 28 European legal systems in the field of transfer of movables. The major topics examined include: the notion of ownership; the derivative acquisition of ownership (e.g. by a sales contract); the good faith acquisition of ownership and other property rights; the multiple sale of the same movable; and the protection of possession, positive (acquisitive) prescription, and processing and consolidation. The series is based on comprehensive country reports on the relevant legal rules in Europe and has the drafting and publication of text proposals of uniform European rules - with commentary and comparative notes - as its primary goal. It intends to influence the future development of European private law on the EU level. This fourth volume of the series presents up-to-date national reports for France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Poland, and Portugal.
