Abstract

The legal relationships governed by the rules of Private Law entail the most intimate ones in which people involve themselves. While the rules of Private Law aim at harmonising these relationships on the one hand it also has to establish the boundaries of these legal relationships by carefully balancing conflicting rights or interests in countless situations.
