Kursuse eesmärk on anda üldteadmised peamistest EL lepinguõiguse süsteemide tunnustest, aidata mõista peamisi tsiviilõiguse põhimõtteid seos lepinguõigusega, osata orienteeruda Euroopa eraõiguse süsteemides, õigusallikates ja õiguskirjanduses ning omandada oskused õiguslike arvamuste koostamiseks vastavate meetoditega lepinguõiguse valdkonnas.

The purpose of this course is to obtain general knowledge of the main features of the European contract law systems, understand the main concepts of the Civil Law’s conception of a contract law, to be able to orientate in European private law systems, legal sources and literature, and to obtain basic skills of drafting legal opinions in a sound and thorough method in the field of contract law.

Aine läbinud üliõpilane:
- selgitab Euroopa tsiviilõiguse süsteemide lepinguõigust, sealhulgas peamisi EL poliitikate arenguid selles vallas;
- leiab lepinguõiguse peamised vahendid ning töötab nendega;
- analüüsib kaasuseid ja koostab õiguslikke arvamusi lepingusõiguse valdkonnas.

By the end of the course the student:
- explains the contract law of European civil law systems, including major EU policy developments in this area;
- identifies the basic tools and instruments of contract law and work with them;
- analyses cases and drafts legal opinions in the field of contract law.

Euroopa tsiviilõigussüsteemide lepinguõiguse sätteid rakendatakse kaasuste lahendamisel, hõlmates tühisust ja tühistamist:
- lepingu mittetäitmine
1) teiseste kohustuste rikkumisel (Culpa in contrahendo, hoolsuskohustuse rikkumine, kolmandaid isikuid kaitsva lepingu sõlmimine);
2) esmaste kohustuste rikkumisel (täitmise võimatus, täitmisega viivitamine, mittenõuetekohane täitmine);
- teised vahendid, nagu tühistamine, tasaarvestus, parandamine;
- samuti kahju nõudmine kolmanda isiku poolt, täitmise takistused, täielik vastutus, mida lahendatakse rakendades õiguslikke süllogisme. Kaasuseid lahendatakse EL Ühise Tugiraamistiku eelnõu (DCFR), Saksa Tsiviilseadustiku (BGB), Eesti õiguse ja teiste valitud riikide õiguste alusel.

The application of the provisions of contract law in European civil law systems is exercised by cases covering the fields of avoidance and rescission,
- nonperformance by
1) violation of secondary duties (Culpa in contrahendo, violation of duty of care, contract with protective effect for third parties) and
2) violation of primary duties (Impossibility, delay, performance with defects),
- other instruments as rescission, set-off, cure, as well as
- claims for damages suffered by a third person, initial impediments for performance, and strict liability,
which are solved during class applying legal syllogisms. The cases will be solved under the DCFR, the BGB, Estonian Law and other selected legal systems.

Lõpphinne kujuneb eraldi osade koondina.

The final grade is formed as a set of separate parts.
