Grundfragen der Beweiserhebung von Amts wegen im Zivilprozess

In this thesis, the author attempts to shed light on a new dimension of the right to take evidence and, from this perspective, seeks to contribute to the interpretation of Articles 142 - 144 and 448 of the Code of Civil Procedure. He sees his study as an appeal to the judge to play an active role in the giving of evidence and in doing so not to distort the nature of civil proceedings.
