Summary:

This book examines the influence of European contract law and civil procedure on the legal system of Cyprus, focusing on the integration of EU legal principles into Cyprus's mixed legal system. It explores the historical and structural dynamics of Cypriot law, which blends elements of English common law and continental legal traditions, creating a unique juridical framework. The study particularly addresses the role of EU consumer protection law, the challenges posed by the financial crisis, and the tensions between common law and European legal principles. Designed for legal professionals, academics, and students, it provides comparative analyses and insights into the interaction between national and EU-level legal frameworks. The work is based on extensive research and was initially presented as a doctoral thesis, highlighting the author's expertise in European private law and its comparative implications.
