| Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to provide significant insights into the Maltese legal system with a special focus on private law. The assumption is that this legal system is the by-product of the "mixing" of innovation and tradition, resulting from the interaction of common law and continental law. A major role in the development of the system is played by the courts. Some examples (moral damages and pre-contractual liability) are considered which highlight the importance of the creative role adopted by the Maltese judges. |
