Aims & Scope
This Journal deals with contract law and serves as a pan-European platform for discussion and analysis.
The concept of a European Contract Law is still rather recent: the phrase was first coined in the 1990s.
Since the early 2000s when this journal was created, European Contract Law has come to encompass an increasingly comprehensive body of law.
There were three driving forces behind this development: the EC harmonisation of laws in the area of the internal market, a generally increased interest in comparative law discussions in contract law, and the European Commission’s Communication on European Contract Law, the Commission’s Action Plan and the Common Frame of Reference process.
These developments brought about a changed climate of discussion.
The foundations of contract law, examined from many perspectives and in view of various national legal systems and an increasing number of disciplines, are currently being discussed in great detail in the European arena.
In 10 years contract law may be the first area of European private law to be regulated in a fully fleshed out European Code.
European Contract Law comprises diverse areas of the law such as sales, standard contract terms, distribution chains, marketing practices, research and development agreements, contract law copyright aspects, financial and investment services contracts, insurance contracts and e-commerce as well as non-discrimination within and beyond labour law and more generally, important aspects of labour contracts and other symbiotic contracts.
