About the Book:
This book examines the Uzbek legal system and the sources that permeate it. The authors comprise academics and practitioners with an expertise in both the USSR, post-USSR and western legal systems. The following topics are covered: the role of international law in the Uzbek legal system; civil law (encompassing General Principles, Contracts, Obligations, Legal Persons); Property Law; Conflict of Laws; Civil Procedure; Company Law; Foreign Investment Law; Criminal Law; Criminal Procedure; Constitutional Law; Administrative Law, and Labour Law.

The book, although an introduction to the Uzbek legal system, is a detailed treatise of the various legal disciplines, informing on the sources of each topic, its history and contemporary application. Moreover, lacunas in the current legislation are identified. Some of the authors have participated in the drafting of relevant laws and hence possess an authoritative outlook on legislation. The book is suitable for practitioners and postgraduate students interested in Uzbek law.
