Die Entwicklung des schwedischen Zivilprozeßrechts

This volume provides the first comprehensive examination of the development of the Swedish law of civil procedure. The author's goal is to disprove the theory of the largely autochthonous development of Swedish procedural law. Marius Kohler tries to reach this goal in a methodical manner with the help of a structural analysis from the standpoint of comparative law. For this comparison, he uses the laws of Germany, Austria, France and England, and in addition those of the U.S.A., Canada and Australia. He also deals with the development of modern Swedish jurisprudence in the field of civil law as well as those connections between Sweden and its European neighbors which are supposedly non-juridical, i.e. those which are of a cultural, political or economic nature.
