The ERPL started this section in 2003. The section aims to give readers an overview of what is happening in the most recent European case law. We have asked the national reporters to report the juridical essence of the decisions given by the highest courts in their country. These national reports are integrated in one general report that arranges the decisions by subject, so that readers can easily find out whether decisions on their special interest were given in any European jurisdiction or whether decisions on one subject have been taken in various European jurisdictions. In principle, this section does not relate the facts of the decision, nor the personal opinion of the reporter. One can find discussions on the most important decisions of European courts in ERPL?s case note section.

Introduction: In this section authors from various European countries report the recent case law in their country on the field of private patrimonial law, that is decisions on the law of property, juridical acts, the law of obligations, contract law and prescription. The European Review of Private Law (ERPL) started this section in 2003. The section aims to give our readers an overview of what is happening in the most recent European case law. We have asked the national reporters to report the juridical essence of the decisions given by the highest courts in their country. These national reports are integrated in one general report that arranges the decisions by subject, so that our readers can easily find out whether decisions on their special interest were given in any European country or whether decisions on one subject have been taken in various European countries. In principle, this section does not relate the facts of the decision, nor the personal opinion of the reporter. One can find discussions on the most important decisions of European courts in ERPL's case note section. The recent case law section gives overviews of decisions published in periods of four months. The period of January-April is published in the fourth issue, the period from May to August is published in the sixth issue, and the period from September to December is published in the second issue of the next year.

Transfer of property While according to Article 545 of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure credits arising from job relations can be seized by creditors only up to one fifth of their value, the Italian Corte di Cassazione (sez. III), 16 June 2003, n. 9630 decided that the rule is aimed at protecting the employee. This protection does not apply in favour of the assignee when the credits are assigned to a third party. Under Article 3:94 of the Dutch CC, rights that are to be exercised against one or more specifically identified persons are issued by means of a deed intended for that purpose, and notice thereof is given to such persons by the party disposing of, or acquiring, these rights. The Dutch Hoge Raad 16 May 2003, (RvdW 2003, 95) confirmed that, in order to transfer or pledge these rights lawfully, it is necessary and sufficient for the deed to contain such information as makes it possible to determine the rights concerned – if necessary afterwards. In order to determine the exact content of the deed, the judge should also take into account the meaning which the parties, in the relevant circumstances, may reasonably have attributed to each other's statements and behaviour, as well as any expectations that they could reasonably have in this respect.
