German contract law

German contract law is rooted in the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch), which went into effect on 1 January 1900.[1] Reforms of the law since then have included the 2001 Act to Modernise the Law of Obligations.[1]

Major works in English examining the German law of obligations include The Law of Torts by European legal scholar Basil Markesinis.[2]
