In this volume, the Study Group and the Acquis Group present the first academic Draft of a Common Frame of Reference (DCFR). The Draft is based in part on a revised version of the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL) and contains Principles, Definitions and Model Rules of European Private Law in an interim outline edition. It covers the books on contracts and other juridical acts, obligations and corresponding rights, certain specific contracts, and non-contractual obligations. One purpose of the text is to provide material for a possible "political" Common Frame of Reference (CFR) which was called for by the European Commission's Action Plan on a More Coherent European Contract Law of January 2003.

Bring the expertise of America's foremost authority on contracts into your practice with this thoroughly updated three-volume set. Farnsworth on Contracts, Second Edition, is where doctrine meets practice. Busy practitioners count on Famsworth's proven ability to identify the essentials and omit extraneous material. His comprehensive coverage of the full range of contract law answers questions in hundreds of important areas, including: Good faith and fair dealing -- Precontractual liability -- Agreements to negotiate -- Vienna Convention on International Sales -- Contracts -- UNIDROIT principles -- Constitutional issues -- Settlement of disputed claims by check -- Options and rights of first refusal -- Employee handbooks -- Covenants not to compete -- Self-help measures. He illustrates how contemporary contract law has been shaped by both the Restatement (Second) of Contracts for -- which he served as Reporter -- and the Uniform Commercial Code. Easy access to specifics, new cases, new drafting tips, new references, and timesaving features like cross-referenced cases and marginal heads make this three-volume set a valuable resource for litigation, arbitration, and practice. Farnsworth on Contracts was always the most authoritative contracts treatise -- in its Second Edition, it is also the most up-to-date.

In recent years there has been a revival of interest in the philosophical study of contract law. In 1981 Charles Fried claimed that contract law is based on the philosophy of promise and this has generated what is today known as 'the contract and promise debate'. Cutting to the heart of contemporary discussions, this volume brings together leading philosophers, legal theorists, and contract lawyers to debate the philosophical foundations of this area of law. Divided into two parts, the first explores general themes in the contract theory literature, including the philosophy of promising, the nature of contractual obligation, economic accounts of contract law, and the relationship between contract law and moral values such as personal autonomy and distributive justice. The second part uses these philosophical ideas to make progress in doctrinal debates, relating for example to contract interpretation, unfair terms, good faith, vitiating factors, and remedies. Together, the essays provide a picture of the current state of research in this revitalized area of law, and pave the way for future study and debate.
