Publisher's Synopsis
Contract and Property with an Environmental Perspective' relates to the intersection of property law, contract law and environmental law. The intersection between contract and property law is in many countries and also in Belgian law still largely virgin territory. This book intends to shed a first but thorough light on this intersection. Contract law and property law are traditionally opposed to each other, but in both, more and more legal devices overcome the differences. These devices are developed in several national legal systems, such as the 'kwalitatieve verplichting' in Dutch law and the 'obligation réelle environnementale' in French law. As the latter illustrates, several legal systems have recently introduced legal devices with a view to enhance environmental protection on the edge between contract and property.
