»Agreed Facts in Civil Proceedings. An Analysis of the Procedural Circumvention of Mandatory Substantive Law«: When is a civil court bound by litigants’ false assertions of fact? To answer this question, this Ph.D. thesis begins with a case where litigants in a breach of contract action concealed an illegal tax avoidance agreement. The author looks to the evolution of 19th-century statutes and recent EU jurisprudence to provide a new understanding of the rights and obligations of parties who present facts to courts by stressing the underlying role of substantive law in civil procedure.weiterlesen
