Originally, contract law was considered to be immune from the effect of
fundamental rights, the function of which was limited to being individual
defences against the vigilant eye of the state. This traditional view,
however, has recently been put under pressure as a result of fundamental
rights increasingly becoming relevant for contract law. In the first place,
this book discusses the relationship between fundamental rights and
private law in general in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. as well
as in
EU
law and the law of the ECHR. against the background of the
underlying rationale for the distinction between public and private law as
it has developed on the continent. Secondly, the book examines whether
and. if so, how the interests of the weaker party can be protected on the
level of fundamental rights, and contract law. The final part of this book
builds upon the insights and conclusions drawn from the theoretical and
practical perspectives to develop recommendations regarding the desirable
extent of the constitutionalisation of contract law. |

Originally, contract law was considered to be immune from the effect of
fundamental rights, the function of which was limited to being individual
defences against the vigilant eye of the state. This traditional view,
however, has recently been put under pressure as a result of fundamental
rights increasingly becoming relevant for contract law. In the first place,
this book discusses the relationship between fundamental rights and
private law in general in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. as well
as in
EU
law and the law of the ECHR. against the background of the
underlying rationale for the distinction between public and private law as
it has developed on the continent. Secondly, the book examines whether
and. if so, how the interests of the weaker party can be protected on the
level of fundamental rights, and contract law. The final part of this book
builds upon the insights and conclusions drawn from the theoretical and
practical perspectives to develop recommendations regarding the desirable
extent of the constitutionalisation of contract law. |
