Summary
Modern civil procedure law has to meet two conflicting challenges: determination of the facts and the protection of confidential information. How the ensuing tension is eased differs considerably within common and civil law systems. Thomas Vogt Geisse discusses the instruments used in German, English and American civil procedures to handle the danger of disclosure and the perilous spread of information. The study also casts new light on the heated discussion regarding secret proof-taking in German civil procedure.
