CFR & social justice : a short study for the European Parliament on the values underlying the draft Common Frame of Reference for European private law: what roles for fairness and social justice?

More about the book

This short study aims to evaluate the Draft Common Frame of Refence in terms of social justice. In particular, it addresses the idea of a European notion of social justice, the relationship between private law and democracy, the question whether the DCFR can be regarded as a neo-liberal or socialist project, the values and principles underlying the DCFR, the protection of weaker parties, and the role of general clauses such as good faith.
