The general goal of the course is to familiarize the students with the progressive harmonization and unification process of European contract and obligations law. The course is aimed at acquiring skills in interpreting and using sources in order to solve legal cases. Therefore students will improve analytical skills in the theoretical part and problem-solving skills in the solution of legal cases.

Programma

The course combines a practical programme rooted in a theoretical understanding.

The first part of the course will be focused on the rational under a European contract and obligations law, on the relationship between the common contract and obligations law and the internal market and on the sources of European contract and obligations law.

The second part will be focused on the formation of contract and on the remedies in the International Sale of Goods (United Nations Convention on contracts for the international sale of goods – CISG), on some particular aspects of the Unidroit Principles, of the Principles of European Contract Law and of the Draft Common Frame of Reference (particular attention will be devoted to long-term contracts and on remedies for the preservation of them, taking into account the Covid-19 pandemic and all consequential measures) and of the consumer acquis.
