The title of this article is, of course, a homage to all those colleagues who have, on various occasions, expressed their favourable views about the movement towards a European Civil Code, see, for example, Professor Ewoud Hondius and his many strong arguments and contributions in ‘European Contract Law: The Contribution of the Dutch’ in Europäisches Vertragsrecht (Hans-Leo Weyers (ed.)) (Baden-Baden, 1997), p. 45 et seq., with many references to his various articles and contributions; see also Peter-Christian Müller-Graff and his valuable ‘Private Law Unification by Means other than of Codification’ in Towards a European Civil Code (Arthur S. Hartkamp (ed.)) (Nijmegen, 1994), p. 19 et seq.

For their support of my research, I am grateful to the Fulbright award programme and to the law department of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. For sharing their expertise, I thank those many professionals and scholars I have consulted in Denmark, England, Israel, Jordan and Sweden. Lynn Welchman and Maarit Jänterä-Jareborg were notable for sharing their English translations of foreign legal materials, while Professor Stephen Goldstein and Judge Yaacov Zemach of Jerusalem and Advocates Asma Khader and Saws an Is'haq and social worker Anaam Asha of Amman deserve special thanks for opening many doors for me and serving as interpreters. For excellent research assistance, my appreciation goes to James Anthony and Jill Jackson. I am, of course, solely responsible for any errors or omissions.
