Rechtsformwahrende Sitzverlegung und Formwechsel von Gesellschaften über die Grenze

The entire judicature of the European Court of Justice regarding the freedom of establishment of companies can be traced back to one uniform premise: interpreting the fundamental freedoms according to the principle of mutual recognition. Caspar Behme elucidates both content and functioning of this principle; a principle which, at the same time, serves as the European Union standard for member states that undertake to regulate the transnational mobility of companies through their respective conflict of laws rules, company and transformation laws.
