Author Description

Every four years, the International Academy of Comparative Law (IACL) organizes an International Congress of Comparative Law, with the 2010 congress being held in Washington DC. In preparation of the congress, the IACL has drawn up a list of topics and has asked the national associations of comparative law to invite authors to write a national report on the various topics. At the same time, a general reporter has been appointed for each topic, who writes a general report on the basis of the various national reports that have been written on that topic. The Netherlands Comparative Law Association publishes all national reports written by the Dutch reporters. This book contains all the Dutch national reports written for the 2010 Washington congress.
