Books by Birke Hacker

While continental and comparative lawyers have recently rediscovered succession law as an area of immense practical importance deserving greater academic attention, it is still a neglected field in England. This book aims to reinvigorate the English debate. It brings together contributions by leading academics and practitioners engaging with topical issues as well as questions of fundamental importance in succession law and estate planning. The book will be of interest to both academics and practitioners working in the field, and to non-English comparative lawyers.

In this structural comparison between English and German law, Birke Hacker explores the rules and principles governing impaired consent transfers of movable property and their reversal in two- and three-party situations.
