Abstract

Italian Abstract: I Principles of European Contract Law (PECL) costituiscono una grande opera di “diritto scientifico”. Essendo stati redatti come black letter rules, essi possono servire per l’interpretazione del diritto nazionale e degli strumenti di diritto internazionale, modellare le riforme dei codici civili, incentivare la concorrenza tra gli ordinamenti giuridici, così contribuendo alla loro efficienza. Soprattutto, i PECL possono essere scelti dalle parti contraenti come legge applicabile al loro contatto, sebbene nei limiti stabiliti dalle norme di diritto internazionale privato.
L’articolo si sofferma sul rapporto tra i PECL e le norme imperative del diritto nazionale, in particolare quelle riguardanti la tutela del consumatore e la concorrenza sleale. Sono prese in considerazione le norme di applicazione necessaria e la clausola di ordine pubblico internazionale.

English Abstract: The Principles of European Contract Law (PECL) stand as a great achievement of "scientific law". Being drafted as "black letter rules", the PECL may serve to interpret national laws and instruments of international law, to design the reform of national civil codes, to foster competition between national laws, thus enhancing their efficiency. Above all, the PECL can be chosen by the contracting parties as the law governing their contract, provided that such choice does not contravene the rules dictated by private international law. The article focuses on the relation between the PECL and the mandatory rules of national law, particularly those regarding consumer protection and unfair competition. Attention is heeded to overriding mandatory provisions and to the public policy of the forum (ordre public clause).
