[Flaptekst]: The present work analyses the reimbursement for attorneys fees with regard to the applicable national laws of Switzerland, Germany, France, England and the United States of America, and with regard to the international arbitration rules and the CISG. It focuses on the allocation of attorneys fees in contract and tort cases and business law. The author detects contradictions in the rules and principles and argues persuasively for the creation of a general fee-shifting rule.
