Typical Comparative Questions
Henrik’s comparative work examines how different legal systems regulate a variety of legal matters, often within family and administrative law. Typical comparative questions he works on include:
- What legal rights does a surviving spouse have in relation to other heirs in the Scandinavian countries and Switzerland?
- To what extent may human data and samples be used in medical research under different regulatory frameworks?
- What national regulations and administrative practices exist to prevent the infiltration of organised crime into public procurement within the European Union?
