Course contents :
|
| Obligation and Contract Law examines the rules and legal principles on which social and economic relations are based. The course is divided into five sections. (I) The first section deals with the sources of obligations and with their legal aspects. This section focuses on contracts. Torts - as sources of obligations - are studied in a separate course. Nevertheless, tort law issues frequently arise into the course because it is impossible to study obligation law without taking tort law into account. Tort law is, in fact, an important source of obligations. It may have an impact on contract formation (culpa in contrahendo) or on the determination of the field of the contract effects (third-party liability). Moreover, useful comparisons of tort and contractual liabilities can be made. In addition to the sources of obligations, the course examines (II) the performance of obligations (except performance of obligations under Company Law); (III) the modalities of obligations (condition, term, etc.); (IV) termination of contracts (payment, subrogation, netting, delegation, prescription, etc.) ; (V) creditor-protection rules are also considered. Specific rules related to specific contracts are also discussed. |
