Special contract law

The course begins with an introduction to the concept of "special contracts" and a presentation of the main contracts governed by the Civil Code. The importance of the qualification operation is underlined. The course then focuses on the four most commonly used contracts in legal practice: sale, business, mandate and lease. For each contract, the issues underlying the legal regime (position of the parties, interests involved, etc.) are addressed. Beyond the study of the specific rules of each contract, the teaching insists on the interest of the recourse to the common law. The teaching method aims to familiarise the student with practice based on concrete cases (note the absence of practical work sessions). Furthermore, in order to confront the student with the Dutch vocabulary of the subject, the materials used in the oral course will refer to the main terms concerned.
