»General Terms and Conditions in a Contract of Surety. An Examination and Further Development of Obligees’ Common Clauses with a Special Focus on the Principle of Accessoriness (Akzessorietätsprinzip) and the Principle of Subsidiarity (Subsidiaritätsprinzip)«

The thesis deals with restrictions on general terms and conditions in contracts of surety. Its main part covers the examination of the validity of the most common clauses in practice. Where clauses are considered invalid, some proposals for a valid draft are made which realise the rationale of the invalid clause in an appropriate way. The thesis ends with abstract guidelines for the valid draft of general terms and conditions in contracts of surety.
