Palmer's fascinating study analyzes the ingrained tendency to prevent third party beneficiary actions through a historical account of privity of contract. Hardcover, xii, 250 pp. Originally published: San Francisco: Austin & Winfield, 1992. Chapter I discusses the origins and historical questions surrounding the issue of privity. Chapter II covers the triumph of consideration in the formative period, 1500 1680. Chapter III outlines the expansion in the chancery phase, 1680 1800, and Chapter IV deals with the rise of the parties-only principle at law and equity during the 1800s.

(Louisiana was the first jurisdiction in the Western Hemis...)
Louisiana was the first jurisdiction in the Western Hemisphere to enact a civil code and was also the first mixed jurisdiction to codify her civil law. Her past is an unbroken line of codes stretching back nearly 200 years. It is a history closely entwined and virtually concurrent with that of the Code Napoleon, which celebrated its bicentennial in 2004. These essays deal with the perennial and persistent questions about the Louisiana civilian experience. What were the original sources of the codes and was Spanish law or French law the major influence? If the drafters had instructions to codify Spanish law, why did they extensively use French models? Did these codes remain true to their original premises or were they transformed by the pressures of the American experience into mere digests of the civil law? Written by one of the leading scholars of comparative law and an authority on mixed jurisdictions, these essays contain Professor Vernon Palmer's critiques and personal reflections on the great debates of the Louisiana civilian experience.

South Africa, Scotland and Quebec are among the seven major systems of "mixed jurisdictions"--legal systems with both a common and civil law content--analyzed in this comparative study. As well as the founding, raison d'etre and evolutionary tendencies of their mixed law components, Palmer also discusses the cultural divisions of the jurists and the internal contradictions between Anglo-American judicial institutions, methodologies and procedures, and the substantive civil law. He concludes that these jurisdictions form a closely related "Third Legal Family" with cohesive traits and tendencies.
