Comments on the Service Contract in the Common Frame of Reference

Abstract

The recent publication of the draft Common Frame of Reference invites analysis of some of the distinguishing features of the European service contracts designed by the Study Group on European Civil Code. It contains important innovations in comparison with the traditional approach supported by Spanish scholarship and the case law of the Supreme Court. This work aims to expose some of the solutions introduced by the new European contract law, and to contribute to the debate on a necessary modernization of the Spanish civil regulation of the service contracts.
