With a special place among the world's important trading countries, Taiwan

presents the international practitioner with its own particular legal issues

and problems. Among the world's most many-sourced legal systems, the law of

Taiwan sustains major elements from Chinese and Japanese sources as well as

its own indigenous and traditional rules and strong influences from both civil

and common law traditions.

This convenient guide, written by a scholar-practitioner who is both Dean of

Law at the National Taiwan University and a panelist in the World Trade

Organization's Dispute Settlement Body, is an ideal introduction and practical

handbook for anyone involved in a transaction that raises issues in Taiwanese

law. After detailed summaries of Taiwan's system of government, its court

system, sources of law, and administrative law and procedure, the author

covers practice and procedure in such fields of legal activity as the

following:

contracts;

torts;

consumer protection;

property rights;

family law;

law of succession;

alternative dispute resolution;

intellectual property law;

trade;

government procurement;

labor law; and

criminal law and procedure.

International lawyers will find all the legal situations most likely to arise

in the course of transactions connected to Taiwan covered expertly and

knowledgeably in this very useful book. It is also valuable to students and

scholars for its special insights into issues of comparative law.
