Summary
The relationship between the Grundgesetz and private law has been one of the core problems of the German legal system since 1949. The traditional approach of 'horizontal effect' revealed its deficiencies when a series of recent decisions of the Bundesverfassungsgericht happened to cause thorough changes in basic private law areas. By applying a differentiated approach towards constitutional basic rights, Matthias Ruffert develops viable and legally sound solutions to the problems involved.
