Summary

This fragment’s argument is to challenge one of comparative law’s most influential assumptions to the effect that there are commonalities across laws (which must ultimately favour unification). The result of flawed reasoning, this postulate is unwarranted. Rather, the comparison of laws must address difference across laws for this is all there is.
