Course Description

The law of Contractual Obligations is concerned with legal relations and effects that emerge in the context of human interaction: those that are created or recognized by the parties themselves and that, at least traditionally, are seen as being voluntarily undertaken, rather than being imposed by the State and its institutions. The aim of this course is to examine the theories, standards, principles, and norms governing these contractual relations in both the common law and civil law traditions. The concepts that will be covered include theories of contracts, contracts across traditions, the formation and enforceability of contracts (what constitutes an “agreement” and what kinds of agreements will the law enforce), consideration, interpretation of contracts, modification, the obligation of positive faith,



defects of consent, breach and remedies.
