Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: 15/20, , language: English, abstract: On a daily basis, contracts are concluded between natural or legal persons. Therefore, many legal subjects have to enter into the precontractual phase of negotiations that eventually lead to a conclusion or a failure of the treaty. As first outlined by Jhering in 18611, the precontractual phase can establish a legal relationship in which precontractual obligations have to be respected. In the following, the precontractual liability under the German, French and Portuguese law will be compared. After an analysis of the historical origin of the precontractual liability in general and the presentation of the historical developments in Germany, France and Portugal, the legal problem, that needs a regulation in the legal orders, will be defined. Furthermore, in the com-parison of the regulatory framework, the similarities and differences of the current legislations in the three states will be examined based on various criteria such as the legal basis, the concrete precontractual duties and the relevance of the good faith. Apart from comparing compensable damages, the legal institutes in those states will be classified. Before summing up the compar-ison of the roots and the legal institute by also including a grid of the main comparative aspects, important cases will be presented to understand the development of the precontractual liability in Germany, France and Portugal.

Mistake, Fraud and Duties to Inform in European Contract Law
Author: Ruth Sefton-Green
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139442961
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
This 2005 examination of twelve case studies about mistake, fraud and duties to inform reveals significant differences about how contract law works in thirteen European legal systems and, despite the fact that the solutions proposed are often similar, what divergent values underlie the legal rules. Whereas some jurisdictions recognise increasing duties to inform in numerous contracts so that the destiny of mistake and fraud (classical defects of consent) may appear to be uncertain, other jurisdictions continue to refuse such duties as a general rule or fail to recognise the need to protect one of the parties where there is an imbalance in bargaining power or information. Avoiding preconceptions as to where and why these differences exist, this book first examines the historical origins and development of defects of consent, then considers the issues from a comparative and critical standpoint.

Commercial Agency, Franchise and Distribution Contracts
Author: Martijn W. Hesselink
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3866537077
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
The rules presented in this volume of "Principles of European Law" deal with commercial agency, franchise and distribution contracts, and with other contracts where one party uses the other party's skill and efforts to bring its products to the market. Although these Principles are not directly applicable to other long-term (commercial) contracts, some of the Articles may be applied to such contracts by way of analogy where appropriate. The economic function of all three contracts is that they are instrumental in bringing products to the market. They are so-called vertical agreements, as they are agreements between economic actors on different levels in the production and distribution chain. Obviously, the economic importance of these contracts is enormous since they form the connection between producers and retailers who sell the products to consumers and other final users. There are only very few economic sectors where producers regularly sell their products directly to final consumer users. Goodwill compensation after the ending of a distribution contract, the moment at which the agent's commission is due, the franchisor's obligation to maintain the good reputation of the network are but a few examples of issues where specific rules are needed in order to give legal practice some guidance and to provide practitioners with a reasonable degree of legal certainty.

The Interaction of Contract Law and Tort and Property Law in Europe
Author: Christian von Bar
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 386653731X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
Against the background of the creation of an EU-wide frame of reference for private law relevant to the Common Market, this study, which was requested by the EU Commission, analyses the dovetailing between contract and tort law on the one hand, and between contract and property law on the other. The study examines the legal orders of almost all the Member States of the EU, illustrates the differences between contractual and non-contractual liability and evaluates the different systems of the transfer of property, of movable and immovable securities as well as trust law. The study comes to the conclusion that the intensive considerations on the creation of a model-law in the area of European private law do not allow these thoughts to be limited to contract law. Such a limitation to the scope of the regarding of this area would probably cause more problems than it would solve, or at any rate not do justice to the needs of the Common Market.
