This introduction to Slovak civil law, written by four lecturers of substantive civil law at the University of Trnava, offers an outline of the fundamental institutions and rules of Slovak civil law. Following the generally accepted structure of this branch of law, the book is divided into five parts dealing with the general part of civil law, family law, rights in rem, law of succession, and law of obligations. The principal aim pursued by this book is to provide Slovak and foreign students, academics and legal practitioners with a brief and yet comprehensive summary of Slovak civil law drafted in the global lingua franca.
