Ein Prozess im kollektiven Rechtsschutz endet regelmäßig mit einem Vergleich, der einer vorherigen Genehmigung durch das Gericht bedarf. Das Verfahren der gerichtlichen Genehmigung des Musterfeststellungsvergleichs ist hierbei weitestgehend unerforscht und bedarf der Konkretisierung durch Wissenschaft und Rechtsprechung. Der Autor untersucht in seiner Arbeit, welche Aufgabe das Gericht im Rahmen der gerichtlichen Genehmigung übernehmen muss und verfolgt dabei das Ziel, den noch unbekannten Prüfungsprozess des Gerichts zu ermitteln. Hierbei wird mithilfe eines rechtsdogmatischen Ansatzes unter anderem erforscht, unter welchen Voraussetzungen eine gerichtliche Genehmigung erfolgen darf, welche Mittel dem Gericht bei seiner Prüfung zur Verfügung stehen und welche Grenzen dem Gericht durch das Gesetz vorgegeben werden. Die hierdurch gewonnen Erkenntnisse dienen als Grundlage zur Konkretisierung des gerichtlichen Prüfungsumfangs für Vergleiche nach dem Verbraucherrechtedurchsetzungsgesetz.

In Pure, Linda Kay Klein uses a potent combination of journalism, cultural commentary, and memoir to take us “inside religious purity culture as only one who grew up in it can” (Gloria Steinem) and reveals the devastating effects evangelical Christianity's views on female sexuality has had on a generation of young women.In the 1990s, a “purity industry” emerged out of the white evangelical Christian culture. Purity rings, purity pledges, and purity balls came with a dangerous message: girls are potential sexual “stumbling blocks” for boys and men, and any expression of a girl's sexuality could reflect the corruption of her character. This message traumatized many girls—resulting in anxiety, fear, and experiences that mimicked the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder—and trapped them in a cycle of shame. This is the sex education Linda Kay Klein grew up with. Fearing being marked a Jezebel, Klein broke up with her high school boyfriend because she thought God told her to and took pregnancy tests despite being a virgin, terrified that any sexual activity would be punished with an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. When the youth pastor of her church was convicted of sexual enticement of a twelve-year-old girl, Klein began to question purity-based sexual ethics. She contacted young women she knew, asking if they were coping with the same shame-induced issues she was. These intimate conversations developed into a twelve-year quest that took her across the country and into the lives of women raised in similar religious communities—a journey that facilitated her own healing and led her to churches that are seeking a new way to reconcile sexuality and spirituality. Pure is “a revelation... Part memoir and part journalism, Pure is a horrendous, granular, relentless, emotionally true account'(The Cut) of society's larger subjugation of women and the role the purity industry played in maintaining it. Offering a prevailing message of resounding hope and encouragement, “Pure emboldens us to escape toxic misogyny and experience a fresh breath of freedom” (Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior and founder of Together Rising).
