Uniform Terminology for European Contract Law
ISBN 978-3-8329-1617-6
This compendium brings together 17 contributions, generated within the framework of the EU Research Network »Uniform Terminology for European Private Law«. The aim of the Research Network is to develop a coherent set of legal terms for important areas of European Community (EC) Private Law and Member States’ laws.
The contributions deal with the question of how a uniform terminology can be found for EC Private Law. Alongside legal-systematic and methodological issues the following terms and notions of Community law are addressed in greater detail: consumer (Verbraucher, consommateur) – investor (Anleger, investisseur) – commercial agent (Handelsvertreter, agent commercial) – binding preliminary contract (verbindlicher Vorvertrag, contrat préliminaire) – information duties (Informationspflichten, obligations d’information), rights of withdrawal (Widerrufsrechte, droits de rétractation) – contractual conformity (Vertragsmäßigkeit, conformité au contrat).
