Nach einer Periode der Selbstzweifel ist die Rechtsvergleichung als Disziplin in den vergangenen fünf Jahre zu neuem Leben erwacht. Zwar ist der überwiegende Teil der vergleichenden Arbeiten nach wie vor auf das "black-letter law" – also das geschriebene, akademische Recht – fokussiert, aber selbst diese Art der Rechtsvergleichung gewinnt an Bedeutung für diejenigen, die Regelungspolitik gestalten. Einige Rechtsvergleicher haben aber auch bereits begonnen, verfeinerte theoretische und empirische Ansätze zu entwickeln. Diese neue Entwicklung bildet eine wachsende Herausforderung für den "asienbezogenen" Zweig der Rechtswissenschaft ("Asian law scholarship"), der bislang von den Schwierigkeiten der tradierten Rechtsvergleichung profitiert hatte. Inzwischen erscheint insbesondere für Untersuchungen zum japanischen Recht eine umfassendere Betrachtungsweise vielversprechender zu sein, die Japan in einen Kontext zur globalen wie auch zur europäischen Rechtsentwicklung stellt und das Land damit in gewisser Weise aus der "asiatischen" Einbindung herauslöst.(Die Redaktion) ; Nach einer Periode der Selbstzweifel ist die Rechtsvergleichung als Disziplin in den vergangenen fünf Jahre zu neuem Leben erwacht.

Two individuals formed a company. Both held half the share capital and served as the company's only two directors. The Plaintiff was one of these shareholder-directors, and he submitted an application to the court requesting it to make such orders as it may think fit in terms of section 402 of the Companies Act 1995. Briefly, this section seeks to provide a remedy to a shareholder who complains that the affairs of a company are being conducted in a manner that was 'oppressive, unfairly discriminatory against, or unfairly prejudicial to a member or members'. ; peer-reviewed

The standard concept of law, consisting of legislation and case law, provides authority and legitimacy to law, as well as a methodology. Transnationalisation of law has necessitated the recognition of non-state influences. Although this should lead to an updated concept of law, authority and legitimacy are not actually problematic as these are in practice derived from the authority and legitimacy of national courts which decide most cases, albeit using new sources of law. The main problem of global law is methodology.
