	Internal Market - The Contract Law
		Indeed, certain mandatory provisions in the contract law of a member state may well make it more cumbersome or occasionally even impossible to offer the same goods and services under the same or similar conditions throughout the Single Market.
		The EU does not possess general regulatory power in areas such as contract law but can only intervene in case actual problems exist which require a solution at EU level, as the European Court of Justice stated in its tobacco judgment.
		Moreover, there was widespread support for measures which would increase the degree of coherence of the contract law provisions in the various existing or future sector-specific instruments.

	Contract Law, Part 1: Introduction and Origins (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Contract law, like so much of English-origin law, is sometimes described in lengthy legalese diatribe, from which it is no easy task to excise a short, succinct and plain-language description.
		Contract law is based on several Latin legal principles, the most important of which is consensus ad idem, which means a meeting of the minds between the parties or, in other words, a clear understanding, offering and acceptance of each person's contribution.
		Contract law is said to be a part of "private law" because it does not involve or bind the state or persons that are not parties to the contract.

	Contract Law (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Since contract law has evolved into an immensely complex and intricate component of our modern legal system, for purposes of this discussion I shall endeavor to provide the reader with a very brief overview of certain general contract law principles.
		A contract can be defined as a promise or set of promises for which the law gives a remedy, or the performance of which the law, in some way, recognizes as a duty.

		Contracts involving the sale of real estate, contracts concerning the sale of goods worth more than $500, contracts that cannot be performed within one year, contracts to pay someone else's debts, leases for more than one year, and contracts for marriage must be in writing.
		The damages due to a party when there is a contract breach depend on many factors, including which party breaches, what damages were incurred, what the contract states with regard to damages, whether the breach material, and the subject matter of the contract.
		Typically, in a contract involving the sale of land, awarding money damages for a breach does not put the nonbreaching party in the same position he or she would have been in if the contract were fulfilled.

		If a person is so mentally incompetent that he or she fails to understand that a contract is being made and further does not understand the terms of the contract, that person is said to lack capacity to enter into a contract.

		The doctrine of privity of contract is that, as a general rule, at common law a contract cannot confer rights or impose obligations on strangers to it, that is, persons who are not parties to it.

	SSRN-Taking Information Seriously: Misrepresentation and Nondisclosure in Contract Law and Elsewhere by Richard Craswell (Site not responding. Last check: )
		However, most contract law doctrines (and most contract law scholars) have yet to come to grips with the practical issues involved in regulating information.
		While these issues are underappreciated in contract law, they are much more familiar in federal consumer protection law, especially in cases involving false advertising; and they are beginning to be recognized in products liability cases involving the duty to warn.
		This paper suggests various ways to improve contract law's handling of misrepresentation and nondisclosure, all of which involve closer attention to the relevant costs and benefits.

		The body of contract law -- defining the way that the legal system will, or will not, enforce the promises that people make to one another -- is as complex and profound as any.
		Contracts are fundamentally voluntary exchanges, and contract law looks for evidence that the parties have MUTUALLY ASSENTED to the terms of a particular set of obligations before it will impose those obligations on them.
		And it's not because your promise was not in writing; as we'll see, the legal system is prepared to enforce all sorts of contracts merely on the basis of an oral understanding.

		The Commission Communication on European Contract Law aims to broaden the debate on the issue to involve the European Parliament, Council and stakeholders, including businesses, legal practitioners, academics and consumer groups in order to judge whether problems arise from divergences in contract law between member states.
		ORGALIME is against the development of mandatory contract law in areas where industry has achieved a high degree of self-regulation by developing fair conditions of trade between companies.
		Also, a s the current situation of existing different laws for each member state does not currently seem to be causing any significant obstacle to cross-border trade, we believe that the market should be allowed to regulate itself as far as possible.
