41 How the common law sees itself Tennekoon and Wood 42
42 The role of legislation in the common law of commerce Contract, case law and default rules in legislation. Limited. No general codifications. Exceptions, insurance codifications. 43
43 Some features of the common law of England: traditional argument Structure of contract law is different: limited default rules, contract practice aims at providing an autonomous and complete regime. Interpretation of contracts: exclusionary rules (pre-contractual negotiations and postcontractual behaviour) and literalism. Role of good faith. Creditor-friendly. 44
44 How is the common law developing Law on interpretation of contracts is changing: exclusionary rules and literalism. Role of good faith. Creditor-friendliness is less obvious in insolvency but still more freedom in constructing securities. Structure of contract law remains different in this respect: limited default rules, contract practice aims at providing an autonomous and complete regime. But here many areas follow this direction. 45
45 Critical perspectives on these common law features Structure of contract law: what is the cost of current contract law practice with no default rules to rely on, transaction cost in contracting, quality of contract terms Interpretation of contracts: did these rules ever provide the benefits envisaged? Creditor-friendliness: the economic cost benefit analysis. Personal credit and security rights. Creditor protection and access to credit without security. 46
46 Absence of principles P Birks English Private Law 47
How do courts use comparative law? 47 48
48 The national paradigm and the closed system Did it ever apply? –In legislative reform – In the courts Current developments: Italian and English courts, the US. –Fairchild v Glenhaven Funeral Services Ltd, [2002] UKHL 22. –Sentenza n del 16 ottobre 2007 (Sezione Prima Civile, Presidente M. G. Luccioli, Relatore A. GiustiSentenza n del 16 ottobre 2007 (Sezione Prima Civile, Presidente M. G. Luccioli, Relatore A. Giusti, “Salute,accanimento terapeutico,stato vegetativo,eutanasia”). –Roper v Simmons 543 US 551 (2005). 49
49 The positions in the US debate. Harold Koh, Sir Basil Markesinis, Jeremy Waldron, the ‘liberal’ justices Mary-Ann Glendon, The Federalist Society, the conservative justices 50
50 The positions in the English debate. Sir Basil Markesinis, Lord Bingham: making use of comparative law as a tool John Bell: limitations of context but still of use in policy reform and legal analysis Jane Stapleton, Lord Hoffmann 51
51 Can courts make use of comparative law? –The use of foreign law –The indirect entry points for foreign law and comparative law 52
4. Formation of contracts In the international instruments, in the DCFR In national law: different models 52 53
The discipline of comparative law. Legal transplants and convergence of legal families 54
The discipline of comparative law. Legal transplants and convergence of legal families 1.The discipline of comparative law. 2.Role of comparative law: law reform, courts (as we just have discussed), the legal practitioner, legal scholarship 3.Legal transplants; what are they 4.Internationalisation, fragmentation and “the convergence of legal families” 5.Comparative law method 55
1.The discipline of comparative law. ‘A method’, ‘What lawyers do’ Study of foreign law and comparative law, international and comparative law To compare one needs to contrast and delineate: what is different and what is the same, the national, legal families, within the national, across the national, international and regional legal orders Some examples and for discussion 56
Comparative law controversies Is comparative law possible? Is it an ideological project? (We will return to this under uses for different categories of lawyers.) Some ideological positions for and against comparative law Some ideological positions of comparative lawyers Comparative lawyers and international and European law: and seen the other way round 57
2. Role of comparative law: a)law reform, b)courts (as we just have discussed and for further discussion here), c)the legal practitioner: the financial lawyer, the commercial lawyer, the family lawyer, the criminal lawyer etc (for discussion) d)legal scholarship: in general and for different disciplines 58
3. Legal transplants; what are they Student presentation: Chinese and Japanese law Comparing this with Italy and Norway Two positions: Alan Watson, Legal Transplants, (Edinburgh, Scottish Academic Press, 1974); Otto Kahn-Freund, 'On Use and Misuse of Comparative Law' (1974) 37 Modern Law Review 1 59
4. Internationalisation, fragmentation and “the convergence of legal families. Legal history and comparative law “Legal families”, the broad generalisations: René David Kurt Zweigert and Hein Kötz 60
Montesquieu De l'esprit des lois (1748) The political and civil laws of each nation should be adapted in such a manner to the people for whom they are framed that it should be a great chance if those of one nation suit another. They should be in relation to the nature and principle of each government; whether they form it, as may be said of politic laws; or whether they support it, as in the case of civil institutions. 61
Montesquieu De l'esprit des lois They should be in relation to the climate of each country, to the quality of its soil, to its situation and extent, to the principal occupation of the natives, whether husbandmen, huntsmen, or shepherds: they should have relation to the degree of liberty which the constitution will bear; to the religion of the inhabitants, to their inclinations, riches, numbers, commerce, manners, and customs. 62
Montesquieu De l'esprit des lois (1748) To determine which of those systems is most agreeable to reason, we must take them each as a whole and compare them in their entirety. As the civil laws depend on the political institutions, because they are made for the same society, whenever there is a design of adopting the civil law of another nation, it would be proper to examine beforehand whether they have both the same institutions and the same political law. 63
4. Internationalisation, fragmentation and “the convergence of legal families. “Legal families”, the broad generalisations: The common law Civil law Scandinavian law Communist legal systems Islamic law. Hindu law, Chinese law Problems and reservations: any utility left Law as antropology 64
4. Internationalisation, fragmentation and “the convergence of legal families (cont.). Internationalisation Fragmentation “the convergence of legal families” European law: EU, ECHR, internationalisation BUT: Pierre Legrand (1996). European Legal Systems are not Converging. International and Comparative Law Quarterly,45, pp 5281 65
5. Comparative law method Back to Montesquieu, Alan Watson and Otto Kahn-Freund Context and institutions Different uses? Return to different uses of comparative law, and the role of legal transplants. Method in the law generally reflected in comparative law 66
Two new articles on the web page Vernon Valentine Palmer ’From Lerotholi to Lando: Some Examples of Comparative Law Methodology’, and Antonina Bakardjieva Engelbrekt ‘Toward an institutional approach to comparative economic law?’ 67
And as promised: A PDF of this article on the reading list : Kåre Lilleholt, «European Private Law: Unification, Harmonisation or Coordination», i Roger Brownsword, Hans- W. Micklitz, Leone Niglia and Stephen Weatherill (eds.), The Foundations of European Private Law, Oxford 2011, s. 353– 361. 68
Questions for discussion I What is the legal discipline of comparative law? Is it more than a method? What is the method? What are legal transplants, and can you find some different examples? What are legal families, and can one state anything about convergence between them or within them in our times of internationalization? 69
Questions for discussion II What are the main disagreements about the uses of comparative law? Are there any special issues in the field of private law, or in commercial or contract law? How does this kind of disagreement affect DCFR and CESL? 70
Vernon Valentine Palmer ’From Lerotholi to Lando: Some Examples of Comparative Law Methodology’ No ‘single exclusive method’ that comparative Teaching, research, of law reform, or historical investigation are too varied ‘a sliding scale of methods and the best approach will always be adapted in terms of the specific purposes of the research, the subjective abilities of the researcher, and the affordability of the costs.’ 71
Vernon Valentine Palmer ’From Lerotholi to Lando: Some Examples of Comparative Law Methodology’ It is also shown that prescriptions about method must carefully distinguish the principal user groups, for the complex methods of scholars may be unworkable in the practical world where comparisons must be cost-justified. NOT: comparative law is always forbidding and difficult. The discipline must be accessible and its methods must be flexible. 72
Antonina Bakardjieva Engelbrekt ‘Toward an institutional approach to comparative economic law?’ Critical of the ‘New Comparative Economics’ and its use of institutional economics comparative efficiency analysis of legal institutions across numerous jurisdictions. In favour of a more sensitive use of institutional theory in comparative economic law. 73
Antonina Bakardjieva Engelbrekt ‘Toward an institutional approach to comparative economic law?’ NOT aggregate statistical approaches, BUT deep-level comparative institutional analysis, informed by modern theory of comparative law, legal history and comparative jurisprudence. Discussion of areas where this can contribute ‘to fine-tuning the reform agenda of economic law within the European Union and at the global level’. 74

The following topics will be covered in lectures by Dr Herman Bruserud. 7. Formation of contracts. 8. Interpretation, Reasonableness, Good Faith. 9. Liability and other Remedies. 85
Formation in common law Two main elements: 1) Agreement a) Offer b) Acceptance 2) Consideration Other elements: Intention to create legal relations, Capacity, Formalities 85 86
The offer in common law Definition – Statement by one person to another person, evincing his/her willingness to enter into contractual relations with that person on certain terms. Distinguish offer from an “Invitation to Treat” – auctions, tenders, Carbolic Smoke Ball. 86 87
«Consideration» in common law 1) Must be a connection between the consideration and the promise which it is said to support. 2) Must move from the promisee, but not necessarily to the promisor (Coulls v Bagot’s Executor and Trustee). 3) Must be sufficient but need not be adequate (Chappell & Co v Nestle & Co Ltd)– Illegal consideration is not sufficient, and excessively inadequate consideration may not be sufficient. 4) Past consideration is not good consideration (Lampleigh v Brathwait). 87 88
French law and «cause» Art 1108 of the Code Civil: Consent, Capacity, Object, Cause 88 89
Formation in the international instruments: UNIDROIT Principles. The Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG) adopted by UNCITRAL. PECL. DCFR. EU consumer law ESL 89 90
Formation in the UNIDROIT Principles: PICC third edition 2010 CHAPTER 2 — FORMATION AND AUTHORITY OF AGENTS SECTION 1: FORMATION 90 91
CISG The Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG) adopted by UNCITRAL Part II. Formation of the contract 91 92
Formation in PECL and DCFR : DCFR: contract as ‘bilateral or multilateral juridical act’. ‘BGB’ translated into English’? Role of legal scholarship. ‘Juridical act’ and ‘contract’, Art II.-1:1010(1) DCFR. PECL: less precise? 92 93
Formation in PECL: Article 2:101 (1) A contract is concluded if: (a) the parties intend to be legally bound, and (b) they reach a sufficient agreement without any further requirement. (2) A contract need not be concluded or evidenced in writing nor is it subject to any other requirement as to form. The contract may be proved by any means, including witnesses. 93 94
Formation in DCFR: Article II.-4:101 PECL Article 2:101 para(2) has been removed: (2) A contract need not be concluded or evidenced in writing nor is it subject to any other requirement as to form. The contract may be proved by any means, including witnesses. 94 95
UNIDROIT PICC and UNCITRAL CISG No such general part relating to the formation of contract law 95 96
Offer and acceptance in PICC and CISG UNIDROIT PICC and UNCITRAL CISG: An offer must be such that, through its acceptance, a contractcan be brought into existence. It must therefore be sufficiently definite and be based on the intention, on the part of the offeror, to be bound: Art 14 CISG; Art PICC; Art 2:201(1) PECL; Art II.– 4:201(1) DCFR. 96 97
Effectiveness and revocal An offer becomes effective as soon as it reaches the offeree; Art 15(1) CISG; Art PICC. Until that moment the offeror may revoke it at any time. Art 15(2) CISG; Art PICC. 97 98
Revocal Even an offer that has already reached the offeree, and has therefore become effective, may however be revoked as long as the revocation reaches the offeree before the latter has dispatched his acceptance. This is not the case if: (i) the offer indicates that it is irrevocable;(ii) the offer states a fixed time for its acceptance; or (iii) the offeree can reasonably rely upon the offer being irrevocable and has already acted in reliance upon the offer. Art 16 CISG; Art PICC. 98 99
Rejection and acceptance by statement and conduct An offer also lapses as a result of a rejection reaching the offeror. Art 17 CISG; Art PICC. Acceptance by means of statement or conduct; the moment when the acceptance becomes effective and the contract is thus concluded; time limits for acceptance and the consequences of late acceptance. Arts 2:204– 2:208 PECL. 99 100
An offer also lapses as a result of a rejection reaching the offeror. Art 17 CISG; Art PICC; Art 2:203 PECL. Far reaching agreement on acceptance: acceptance by means of statement or conduct; the moment when the acceptance becomes effective and the contract is thus concluded; time limits for acceptance and the consequences of late acceptance; modified acceptance. Arts 2:204–2:208 PECL; Arts II.– 4:204–4:208 DCFR. 100 101
