Helene Lieser · 1937
Helene Lieser’s 1937 review of Joseph Hamel’s Le nouveau régime du chèque en France defines the supplement’s purpose and limits: it updates the first volume of his work on banks and banking transactions following changes to French cheque law. Lieser identifies the reform’s international foundation:
Das französische Scheckrecht beruht jetzt bekanntlich auf den Genfer Konventionen des Jahres 1931.
English translation: French cheque law is now, as is well known, based on the Geneva Conventions of 1931.
Her account emphasizes selective revision rather than comprehensive exposition:
Es werden nur die Bestimmungen dargestellt, die eine Änderung des bisherigen gesetzlichen Zustandes bedeuten.
English translation: Only those provisions that constitute a change to the previous legal position are presented.
The review closes by marking an unfinished task: adaptation of the section on international cheque law to the internationally applicable legal framework is reserved for a further edition. Lieser thus distinguishes the supplement’s immediate usefulness in explaining changes to French law from the broader updating still required. Her brief notice establishes scope and relevance without offering a substantive assessment of Hamel’s legal interpretations.
