Die Auswirkungen von Korruption im chinesischen Vertragsrecht

Following the Chinese anti-corruption campaign in 2012, there have been many modifications to Chinese criminal law. Although these modifications have been discussed in academic literature, the civil impact of corruption has remained largely ignored. This work deals with the contractual aspects of corruption in Chinese law. In addition to the effectiveness or invalidity of contracts tainted by corruption, it examines all eligible claims and rights as well as contractual ways to react to such corruption. Despite this focus on contract law, this study also describes the corruption offences under Chinese criminal and competition law in detail to give the reader an overall picture of the legal corruption issues in China. This topic is not only useful for lawyers doing comparative law research but also for companies conducting business in China.
