Having realized the importance of courts in shaping the contours of law outside the common legal systems, this work uniquely endeavours to fill the gap by this collection of empirically-based analyses of developments in the economies and connected laws of Albania, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine - as they have surfaced through court cases. As such it is a tool for understanding the unique legal environment of Central and Eastern Europe by way of casting a closer glance at legal and business problems connected to enforcement of contracts.
