Diese Studie stellt den Tatbestand der condictio ob rem vom Kopf auf die Fusse.


This study turns the facts of the condictio ob rem upside down. The concept of “legal transaction”, codified in Section 812 (1) sentence 2 alt. 2 of the German Civil Code (BGB), has long been marginalised as a mere appendage to the laws governing contractual obligations and even called anti-systemic. Contrarily, historical-genetic analyses and dogmatic reconstructions show that the legal basis of the condictio ob rem constitutes a non-binding, causal contract with conditional links of its own. Through critiquing a legal doctrine dominated by debt and market exchange, Christoph Sorge points out an autonomous meaning of the condictio ob rem within traffic and property law.
