Arrow to the Heart by Christopher Kortlander
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of the law of contracts in the Netherlands covers every aspect of the subject - definition and classification of contracts, contractual liability, relation to the law of property, good faith, burden of proof, defects, penalty clauses, arbitration clauses, remedies in case of non-performance, damages, power of attorney, and much more. Lawyers who handle transnational contracts will appreciate the explanation of fundamental differences in terminology, application, and procedure from one legal system to another, as well as the international aspects of contract law. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes drafting considerations.
An introduction in which contracts are defined and contrasted to torts, quasi-contracts, and property is followed by a discussion of the concepts of 'consideration' or 'cause' and other underlying principles of the formation of contract. Subsequent chapters cover the doctrines of 'relative effect', termination of contract, and remedies for non-performance. The second part of the book, recognizing the need to categorize an agreement as a specific contract in order to determine the rules which apply to it, describes the nature of agency, sale, lease, building contracts, and other types of contract. Facts are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance.
Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in the Netherlands will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative contract law.
"This story can be described as a defense lawyer's dream. Christopher Kortlander suffered the slings and arrows of the federal government with courage and integrity. He is truly a dedicated American citizen." -- Charles "Timer" Moses, Criminal Defense Attorney
"In 2009, at the end of its criminal investigation, the United States had a duty to return the items or institute forfeiture proceedings if it believed the items were contraband. It has done neither; therefore, as a matter of law, the property must be returned." -- William Perry Pendley, President, Mountain States Legal Foundation
"Arrow to the Heart gives a raw, behind-the-scenes account of federal overreach into the lives of private individuals and corporations alike. This has now become commonplace in our nation. It is important that citizens like Chris Kortlander stand up for what is right and to stop federal tyranny." -- Lance Tobacco, Former DOI Law Enforcement Officer
