"This is the updated and substantially enlarged edition of Japanese Law, originally published in 1992, which was the first comprehensive study of Japanese law to be published by a Japanese academic in English. The book covers the entire range of Japanese law with an emphasis on commercial law covering such topics as the reform of the company law, internationalization of competition law, the financial 'Big Bang', and cross border litigations." "Bridging the gap between law in statute book and the actual implementation in practice, the book incorporates all of the most recent important case law as well as reflecting on current debates in legal academic discourse in Japan."--Jacket
