At the end of the course, students will be able to settle questions in the field of emergency contract law.

Prerequisites and basic notions

The course program is divided into two parts.
The first part (General Part) concerns general contract law, with a special focus on those legal instruments which apply in the occurrence of exceptional events in the course of the contractual relationship.
