Non-discrimination in European Contract Law

Abstract

The European codification of the contract law is an ambitious project, yet very consuming. Still, important steps were taken into this direction, steps starting with the launch of the European contract principles and continuing with the publishing of the Draft Common Frame Reference. Apart from the criticism brought to this elaborate project, we would like to emphasize its innovations in fields that were previously neglected by the traditional contract law. Therefore, inserting a chapter dedicated to non¬discrimination in contractual relationships, the DCFR moves to a new era of the private law
