Course content

The course deals with the legal basis with regard to civil and criminal law issues with special consideration of the problems relevant to event law.
The different fields of law and their relations to each other, the demarcation between public and private law and the definition of legal concepts form the basis for legal relations.
Introduction to general contract law as well as the legal capacity of natural and legal persons are taken into account.
