Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the historical experience of regulating pre-contractual legal relations. The main focus is on the development of preliminary contract legislation. At the same time, problems are posed related to possible ways of further development of legislation on a preliminary contract. The purpose of the article is to study the current legal regulation of legal relations complicated by a preliminary agreement, and to propose scientific ideas aimed at improving the Civil Code of the Russian Federation in the part related to the preliminary agreement. The article was written with the active use of general scientific methods and special legal methods. When writing the article, the methods of formal logic and the general dialectical method and methods of interpretation of legal texts were used. In this article, conclusions are drawn about the need for a general design of a preliminary contract, uniting elements of all existing structures that ensure the organization of future contractual relations. In addition, this article draws conclusions about the introduction of special restrictions on freedom of contract when concluding a preliminary contract. The author expressed the idea of fixing such a legal consequence in case of violation of a preliminary contract, as the recognition of legal consequences as having occurred.
