Abstract
The paper analyses in diem addictio, a provision for calling-off a sale in case that the seller will not receive and accept a better offer within a given time in Roman law. It is elaborated on a number of issues pertinent to in diem addictio, especially to the issue what constitutes a “better offer” and what obligations arise for the parties when the better offer is given. The second part of the paper discusses the possibility of including this provision in contemporary law of sales, specifically in selected legal systems – French, Austrian, German and Croatian law. It is concluded that, in addition to specific regulation of this provision in Austrian ABGB, other legal systems as well provide suitable and sufficient basis for the addition of this provision to the contract of sale, both in the form of suspensive and resolutive condition.
