Research stay at UC3M: DEPARTMENT OF PRIVATE LAW

Project:

His project consists in considering the perspectives of modernization of the Spanish law of contracts in a perspective of comparative law.

In 2009, the Spanish General Codification Commission presented a “Proposal to modernize the Civil Code in terms of obligations and contracts” that, despite its merits and the interest aroused in the scientific community, has not received the necessary institutional impulse to become a legal text.

For this reason it is interesting to carry out a comparative reflection on the opportunity and content of a possible legislative reform on the matter in the light of various upcoming foreign experiences, especially the law of countries that have historical links with Spain (Latin American countries) or who have recently reformed their right to obligations (Germany, France).
