The present book "Incapacity to Act of Natural Persons. Contemporary Challenges" by Sr. Stoyan Stavru is a study of civil-law matters of incapacity to act of natural persons in the context of the proposed reform of Bulgarian personal law. It is the first Bulgarian monograph on a subject that is yet an unspoken challenge to Bulgarian law doctrine – the book poses the question concerning the inability/ incapacity (to act) by keeping it "on the border" between two highly specialized expert fields of differing approaches, such as law and philosophy. The reader is offered a multidisciplinary study in which a transition from international-law standards of the rights of people with disabilities (Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) to Bulgarian civil-law theory and statutory regulation of interdiction has been made.
Stoyan Stavru is Doctor of Civil and Family Law and Doctor of Philosophy. He leads "Medical Law" and "BioLaw" courses both at New Bulgarian University and Sofia University. Doctor Stavru is famous for being author of the first Bulgarian book on BioLaw (two-volume edition) – "Visions in Pandora's Box. Biolaw", Sofia, 2014 and founder of the professional legal website ChallengingTheLaw.com.
