Progress towards a Common Frame of Reference

The Expert Group set up by the European Commission to draw up a Common Frame of Reference in the area of European contract law has published its proposals for rules on interpretation of contract (as well as on formation and on the content and effect of contracts).  All of this material, together with details about the Expert Group, can be seen on the webpage created by the Justice Directorate of the EC to collect together information about developments in contract law and consumer rights: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/policies/consumer/policies_consumer_intro_en.htm
