Summary
This chapter provides a detailed factual and legal analysis of TPF in both common law and civil law jurisdictions, and at an international level. The choice of the specific jurisdictions reveals a factual and non-speculative approach, i.e. only those jurisdictions where the ‘modern’ TPF phenomenon has emerged have been considered, which makes the analysis of the legal issues that have occurred therein more concrete. The scope of this chapter is to analyse the legal issues underlying TPF in the said jurisdictions and of the related professional and doctrinal discussions, helpful also to picture this new business phenomenon and to discuss its legality.
