LAWS0149: EU Contract Law

This module is for those interested in the development and application of EU contract law and its interactions with the contract law of EU Member States. It is convened by Dr Lucinda Miller.

This course will introduce students to the body of contract law that has been developed by the EU. Students will explore the economic, political and constitutional reasons for why contract law was deemed necessary for the objectives of the EU and analyse the role of both the European court and the legislative institutions in its evolution. The course will enable students to understand the interplay between EU contract law and the contract law of EU Member States and to appreciate the legal and political struggles at play in this interaction.
