The contributions combined in the present volume stand out as they add a Law & Economics perspective to the ongoing debate.A workshop held at the Law and Economics Faculty of the University of Bonn in November 2008 aimed at stimulating the debate on the economic implications of the principles and rules enshrined in the DCFR. An essential part of the papers presented at the Bonn workshop are now being published. The topics addressed range from general issues such as the policies of anti-discrimination and consumer protection to analyses of specific legal areas, like the law of remedies, the law of service contracts and the law of torts or delict.

The Federation of Malaya received her independence from Britain in 1957. On September 16, 1963, the eleven states of this Federation, the former colonies of Sarawak and Sabah on the western coast of Borneo and the State of Singapore united to form Malaysia. In August 1965, however, Singapore seceded from this newly-formed federation to become an independent republic. Malaysia as it is known to-day consists of eleven states of the peninsula that constituted Malaya in 1957, (this is referred to as peninsula Malaysia) Sabah and Sarawak. Peninsula Malaysia is separated from Sabah and Sarawak by the vast South China Sea.

The European Union has struggled for decades to establish a streamlined method of uniform patent protection. Its current solution involves both a European Patent of Unitary Effect and the implementation of the Unified Patent Court to adjudicate patent claims. The current proposal, however, does not eliminate the two other routes to patent protection that currently exist: national patent grants and classical European patents. The existence of three possible routes to patent protection could lead to increased fragmentation in the way patents are interpreted across the European Union. Creating a more unified system entails both ensuring that the substantive patent law contained in the Unified Patent Court Agreement is binding on member states, and giving the newly formed Unified Patent Court a preliminary reference power to interpret the substantive provisions of the Unified Patent Court Agreement.
