Abstract

AbstractThe recent reform of French law of contract consecrates and indeed reinforces those mechanisms designed to protect weaker parties that had been recognized progressively by the courts. This is not to say that the brief for contractual justice is now exhausted. Many questions have arisen that are not dealt with by the new legislation, but nor are they by the law of other Member States of the European Union, or indeed by the Common Frame of Reference. Three examples of contemporary problems that contract lawyers should address, are discussed here: access to vital goods and services to persons; the quality of goods and services provided under the contract; and the production process of these goods and services. On these three points, proposals are made which might serve as a basis for a new manifesto for social justice in European contract law.
