Unexpected Circumstances in European Contract Law Paperback / softback
Edited by Ewoud (Universiteit Utrecht, The Netherlands) Hondius, Christoph (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen) Grigoleit
Part of the The Common Core of European Private Law series
Paperback / softback
Description
The recent financial crisis has questioned whether existing contracts may be adapted, terminated or renegotiated as a result of unexpected circumstances.
The question is not a new one. In medieval times the notion of clausula rebus sic stantibus was developed to cope with such situations, and Germany introduced the theory of Wegfall der Geschäftsgrundlage.
In England, the Coronation cases provided one possible answer.
This comparative study explores the possibility of classifying jurisdictions as 'open' or 'closed' in this regard.
