European Contract Law

This volume sets out initially to test the claim that, as combinations of Civil and Common Law influences, the mixed systems of contract law in Scotland and South Africa have anticipated the content of the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL) concluded and published in 2003 by the unofficial Commission on European Contract Law. Current official moves towards a European contract law within the European Union lend the critiques of PECL offered in this volume an especial urgency and significance.
