Helmut Koziol’s new book is available. It studies how legal systems assign goods (such as life and health, property, personal liberty, claim-rights) to persons. As the Austrian Civil Code puts it, these persons “may deal with the substance and the use of a thing at will” (§ 354). Helmut Koziol’s new book offers a broad, overarching study of these entitlements. It examines their content and the means of protection that are necessary and reasonable, such as defensive remedies, claims for damages, restitution, criminal law sanctions. It will be a valuable resource for identifying potential gaps or inconsistencies in the system of entitlements.
