THE LAW OF OBLIGATIONS BETWEEN HARMONISATION AND LEGISLATIVE COMPETITIVENESS
The Franco-German project for a "European Business Code" is reviving the debate on the harmonisation of business and contract law within the EU. This part of the seminar will present this project and compare it with similar previous European projects, in particular that of a common European sales law. More broadly, it will take stock of the legislative competition in contract law in Europe and ask whether the future lies in harmonisation or, on the contrary, in free competition between national models. (Orientation of the question: de lege ferenda).
