Hannes Unberath explores the philosophical foundations of remedies for breach of contract. In evaluating the approach of the Civil Law, especially of the reformed German law of obligations, and comparing it with that of the Common Law, the author studies how these can converge in view of projects to harmonize contract law on a European level.

Contract law is a cornerstone of a liberal legal system. In every market economy it is essential that persons are able to trade on a reliable basis for mutual benefit. This basis for cooperation is created by the principle of pacta sunt servanda. Whereas everyone agrees on this principle, the individual legal systems differ in regard to the consequences of a breach of contract. Hannes Unberath explores the philosophical foundations of remedies for breach of contract. In evaluating the approach of the Civil Law, especially of the reformed German law of obligations, and comparing it with that of the Common Law, the author studies how these can converge in view of projects to harmonize contract law on a European level.
