Concise discussion of the law accompanying each problem provides a base for students and enough material for traditional Socratic method teaching.

Situated within the context of the ongoing debate about European contract law, this book provides a detailed examination of the European Union''s competence in the field of contract law.It analyses the limits of Union competence in relation to several relevant Treaty provisions which potentially confer competence on the Union to adopt a comprehensive contract law instrument and the exercise of Union competence in connection with the operation of the principles of subsidiarity, proportionality and sincere cooperation. It also explores the viability of several alternative and complementary routes to the adoption of such an instrument, including enhanced cooperation, an intergovernmental treaty and certain American techniques. Setting forth an elaborate account of the context for this debate and its chronological development at the European level, this book charts the discussions relating to the European Union''s competence to regulate contract law and offers a comparative analysis of the approach taken to the approximation of contract law in the American setting.Setting forth a detailed account of the context for this debate and its chronological development at the European level, the book charts the discussions that have occurred within and outside the EU relating to the transnational competence to regulate contract law. Situating European constitutional law within the continued debate about European contract law, it also reflects upon the contract law structure of the United States and examines the viability of alternative and complementary routes to the adoption of a comprehensive instrument of substantive contract law.- Provides a detailed assessment of the EU''s competence to regulate contract law and an extensive comparative analysis of the US contract law framework.- Outlines the context for the debate about European contract law and its chronological development at the European level.- Covers recent developments, including the relevant changes brought by the Lisbon Treaty and activities at the European level, such as the Common Frame of Reference, the Consumer Rights Directive and the proposal for a Regulation on a Common European Sales Law.- Enables in-depth understanding of the approach taken to the approximation of contract law in the US and techniques employed in the American setting.- Foreword by Professor Dr. Koen Lenaerts, Vice-President of the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The newest volume in Kluwers series of comparative analyses of Member State law and the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL), this book not only provides an introduction to German law for lawyers familiar with the PECL but also serves as a model for reconnecting the contract law of the European Union with that of the Member States. Although the Principles were by design distilled from the laws of the Member States, one of the arguments most frequently advanced for opposing the introduction of a EU contract law is that it would not be in line with national principles of contract law.The in-depth comparison presented here may help to refute or confirm such doubts and serve as a yardstick to measure how far EU law really has disconnected from the traditions of the Member States. Using a straightforward comparative method, the analysis not only reveals a significant area of convergence between the PECL and German contract law, but also highlights the main differences between the two bodies of rules. The reasons for these differences, both legal and non-legal (historical, social, economic), are clearly set forth. Aspects of the relevant laws covered include the following: scope of application, general duties, terminology; offer and acceptance, liability for negotiations; effects of assignment; remedies for non-performance (right to performance, withholding performance, termination of the contract, price reduction, damages and interest); representation by agents; plurality of debtors and/or creditors; order of priority among assignee and competing claimants; transfer of contract or contractual position; and periods of prescription.The authors take into account the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR), which incorporates the PECL and adds special rules that respond to current needs, notably in the area of consumer protection. The commentary includes extensive reference to case law and legal doctrine at all essential points, providing a comprehensive description of the law in action as well as its evolving trends. The book is a valuable handbook and guide for both foreign and German lawyers. For non-German lawyers, be they practitioners or academics, it provides a concise but complete and up-to-date outline of current German contract law. For German lawyers, it offers a clear insight into a wider European legal contract system whose importance in the evolution of a common European private law is growing rapidly.

The book explains Russian contract law in a form understandable to lawyers qualified in other countries, especially common law countries.The introduction gives a concise overview of the Russian legal system in general and contract law in particular as well as a brief insight into the history of contract law in Russia. Then the main concepts of Russian contract law are explained, using the conceptual framework of English contract law to make them accessible to someone not familiar with the codified Russian system.The book not only considers the legislation regulating Russian contractual relations but also includes appropriate case law to show how the legislation is interpreted.The focus is on contract law in Russia as it actually operates, rather than merely the legislative texts, so that it will be directly relevant to legal practitioners and others who wish to acquire knowledge of the practical application of an important element of the Russian legal system, as well as those seeking an insight into the realities of codified law in action.The target readership therefore includes legal practitioners who have to deal with Russian law, academics and students with an interest in Russian law, the law of contract and comparative civil law, as well as scholars of comparative legal systems and Russian area studies.

Significantly streamlined and updated, the second edition of Andrews'' Contract Law now provides a clear and succinct examination of all of the topics in the contract law curriculum.Chapters direct students to the most important decisions in case law and employ a two-level structure to integrate short judicial excerpts into detailed discussion and analysis. Exploration of the law''s ''loose ends'' strengthens students'' ability to effectively analyse case law, and new end-of-chapter questions, which focus on both core aspects of the law and interesting legal loopholes, assist students in preparing for exams.Students are guided through chapter material by concise chapter overviews and a two-colour text design that highlights important chapter elements. Suggestions for further reading and a rich bibliography, which point readers to important pieces of contemporary literature and provide a springboard for deeper investigation of particular topics, lend further support for student learning.- Coverage of good faith, codification and international and European soft law codes has been streamlined into three new distinct chapters, to improve clarity and allow instructors to more effectively cover these topics in their classes.- Analysis of the law''s grey areas and ''loose ends'' effectively prepares students for the types of questions they are likely to encounter in law examinations.- Chapter overviews ensure that students obtain a basic understanding of chapter topics before encountering more detailed discussion and analysis.- An emphasis on the most important and key cases in contract law enables students to focus on and master the central cases without becoming overwhelmed.

Promises and Contract Law is the first modern work to explore the significance of promise to contract law from a comparative legal perspective.Part I explores the component elements of promise, its role in Greek thought and Roman law, the importance of the moral duty to keep promises and the development of promissory ideas in medieval legal scholarship.Part II considers the modern contract law of a number of legal systems from a promissory perspective. The focus is on the law of England, Germany and three mixed legal systems (Scotland, South Africa and Louisiana), though other legal systems are also mentioned. Major topics subjected to a promissory analysis include formation of contract, third party rights, contractual remedies and the renunciation of contractual rights.Part III analyses the future role which promise might play in contract law, especially within a harmonised European contract law.- Takes account of important theoretical and case law developments that have taken place since Fried''s and Atiyah''s publications in 1981.- Promotes a cross-jurisdictional perspective to be taken of the role of promise in contract law, an especially useful approach given cross-jurisdictional legal influence both historically and in the modern era.- Reassesses the value of promissory analysis in explaining voluntary obligations more adequately and appropriately than does a mutual contractual analysis.- Proposes practical ways for developing the law.

Changing Concepts of Contract is a prestigious collection of essays that re-examines the remarkable contributions of Ian Macneil to the study of contract law and contracting behaviour.Ian Macneil, who taught at Cornell University, the University of Virginia and, latterly, at Northwestern University, was the principal architect of relational contract theory, an approach that sought to direct attention to the context in which contracts are made. In this collection, nine leading UK contract law scholars re-consider Macneil''s work and examine his theories in light of new social and technological circumstances. In doing so, they reveal relational contract theory to be a pertinent and insightful framework for the study and practice of the subject, one that presents a powerful challenge to the limits of orthodox contract law scholarship.In tandem with his academic life, Ian Macneil was also the 46th Chief of the Clan Macneil. Included in this volume is a Preface by his son Rory Macneil, the 47th Chief, who reflects on the influences on his father''s thinking of those experiences outside academia.The collection also includes a Foreword by Stewart Macaulay, Malcolm Pitman Sharp Hilldale Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and an Introduction by Jay M Feinman, Distinguished Professor of Law at Rutgers School of Law.

While the internationalisation of society has stimulated the emergence of common legal frameworks to coordinate transnational social relations, private law itself is firmly rooted in national law.European integration processes have altered this state of affairs to a limited degree with a few, albeit groundbreaking, interventions that have tended to engender resistance from various actors within European nation-states. Against that background, this book takes as its point of departure the need to understand the process of legal denationalisation within broader political frameworks. In particular it seeks to make sense of opposition to Europeanisation at this point in the evolution of European law when, despite growing nationalist attitudes, great efforts have been made to produce comprehensive legal instruments to synthesise general contract law - an area that has traditionally been solely within the ambit of nation-states.Combining insights from the disciplines of law, history and political science, the book investigates the conceptual and cultural associations between law and the nation-state, examines the impact of nationalist ideas in modern legal thought and reveals the nationalist underpinnings of some of the arguments employed against and, somewhat paradoxically, even in support of legal Europeanisation.The author''s research for this book has been supported by the Hague Institute for the Internationalisation of Law.

Contract law is a very complex area, one that affects us all in one way or another. Quite often we find ourselves in need of clear advice which isn''t available.However, this latest edition of A Guide to Contract Law provides clear and comprehensive answers to all aspects of contract law and the formation of contracts.The book is concise and clear and updates British and European law to 2014.

European Contract Law unification projects have recently advanced from the Draft Common Frame of Reference (2009) to a European Commission proposal for an optional Common European Sales Law (2011) which is to facilitate cross-border marketing.This book investigates for the first time how CESL and DCFR rules would interact with various aspects of domestic law, represented by English and German law. Nineteen chapters, co-authored by British and German scholars, examine such interface issues for eg pre-contractual relationships, notions of contract, formation, interpretation, and remedies, extending to non-discrimination, third parties, transfers or rights, aspects of property law, and collective proceedings.They go beyond a critical analysis of CESL and DCFR rules by demonstrating where and how CESL rules would interact with neighbouring areas of English and German law before English and German courts, how domestic traditions might influence the application, which aspects might motivate sellers and buyers to choose or reject CESL, and which might serve as model for national legislators. The findings are summarized in the final two chapters.- The first assessment of the proposed Common European Sales Law and its likely effect on national legal systems.- Demonstrates where and how the CESL and DCFR will interact with various aspects of German and English domestic law.- Summarizes findings, outlining what might influence buyers and sellers to use or reject the CESL.- Written by leading contract lawyers from Germany and the UK.
