Publisher's Synopsis
'Introduction to Dutch Law' serves as a recognised legal resource, since its first edition in 1978, providing an excellent overview of Dutch law for foreign lawyers. This fifth edition fully updates its systematic description of the legal sources, institutions and concepts in all major fields of Dutch law. Recent developments that have been covered include the progressive implementation of standards set by international conventions, the reorganisation of the judiciary, the statute on environmental law and the (re)codification of private international law.
