Beskrivning

Over the last 30 years, the evolution of acquis communautaire in consumer law and harmonising soft law proposals have utterly transformed the landscape of European contract law. The initial enthusiasm and approval for the EU programme has waned and, post Brexit, it currently faces increasing criticism over its effectiveness. In this collection, leading academics assess the project and ask if such judgements are fair, and suggest how harmonisation in the field might be better achieved. This book looks at the uniform rules in the context of: the internal market; national legislators and courts; bridging the gap between common and civil law; and finally their influence on non-member states. Critical and rigorous, it provides a timely and unflinching critique of one of the most important fields of harmonisation in the European Union.

Taken together, the essays collected in this book present a timely overview of the state of play of harmonised European contract law. For readers who are new to the field, such as students of transnational or European contract law, the book provides a fine introduction to the main themes and problems of harmonisation. For readers familiar with the field, the book confirms what lessons have been learnt since Ole Lando first proposed the creation of a set of Principles of European Contract Law. The creation of a European Civil Code, which was once a dream of some scholars in the field, has not come to be.
