Análisis Económico De La Intervención Judicial En Los Contratos ¿Una Cuestión De Justicia?, Daniel Monroy
Análisis Económico De La Intervención Judicial En Los Contratos ¿Una Cuestión De Justicia?, Daniel Monroy
Daniel A Monroy C
Desde la perspectiva del AED, una de las funciones principales del derecho de contratos, sobre la cual diferentes autores hacen mayor énfasis, es la relacionada con la “disuasión del oportunismo”; en igual sentido, otra de las funciones del derecho de contratos es la relativa a la “interpolación eficiente de términos contractuales”. Dichas funciones suelen explicar buena parte de la regulación en materia de contratos, además de justificar la intervención judicial. Por otro lado, algunos autores nos llevan a considerar que propugnar exclusivamente por la libertad y la autonomía contractual, puede llevarnos a garantizar que los contratos, además de ser mecanismos …
Hacia Una Teoría General Sobre Las Alternativas Contractuales Al Testamento, Renzo E. Saavedra Velazco
Hacia Una Teoría General Sobre Las Alternativas Contractuales Al Testamento, Renzo E. Saavedra Velazco
Renzo E. Saavedra Velazco
El derecho sucesorio es una rama del Derecho que, al menos desde la perspectiva del operador peruano, se considera profundamente vinculada con la tradición y, por ende, casi inmutable. Si bien la influencia de la tradición resulta innegable, al propio tiempo se debe subrayar el profundo cuestionamiento del cual han sido objetos muchas de las teorías y doctrinas que componen el área del derecho de sucesiones. La irrupción de mecanismos contractuales en la praxis profesional y en las construcciones doctrinales relacionadas con el planeamiento sucesorio ha provocado una revolución de la que es necesario rendir un breve recuento.
Contract Law's Two "P.E.'S": Promissory Estoppel And The Parole Evidence Rule, David G. Epstein
Contract Law's Two "P.E.'S": Promissory Estoppel And The Parole Evidence Rule, David G. Epstein
Law Faculty Publications
This article is about "P.E." Not the physical education class that you looked forward to in junior high school, but the two "P.E.'s" you dreaded in your first-year law school contracts class: (1) promissory estoppel and (2) the parol evidence rule.' Each is plenty complicated standing alone. This article considers what happens if the two bump into each other. More specifically, this article asks and answers the question: Should the parol evidence rule apply to promissory estoppel cases?
Contributory Negligence And Mitigation: Shall The Two Walk Together?, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Contributory Negligence And Mitigation: Shall The Two Walk Together?, Dr. Yehuda Adar

-This Article is in Hebrew-
This paper discusses and critically examines the close interrelations of two of the main defences to liability in damages for torts and breach of contract. After a careful analysis of the various similarities between the doctrines of contributory (or comparative) negligence and mitigation of damages, and the basic difference between the two, the article reaches the conclusion that there is no justification for the ongoing existence of the mitigation doctrine. It should be abolished, and the doctrine of comparative negligence should be adopted across the board in both tort law and contract law.

Contract Law, Party Sophistication And The New Formalism, Meredith R. Miller
Contract Law, Party Sophistication And The New Formalism, Meredith R. Miller
Scholarly Works
With increasing frequency, courts are mentioning party sophistication as relevant to whether a contract has been formed, whether a contract is enforceable, how the contract should be interpreted, and even, in some instances, the determination of an appropriate remedy. Sophisticated parties are held to a different set of rules, grounded in freedom of contract. It is presumed that a sophisticated party was aware of what to bargain for and read (or should have read) and understood (or should have understood) the terms of a written agreement.
But, just what do courts mean when they call a contracting party “sophisticated”?
“Sophistication” …

Giving Unconscionability More Muscle: Attorney’S Fees As A Remedy For Contractual Overreaching, Stephen E. Friedman
Giving Unconscionability More Muscle: Attorney’S Fees As A Remedy For Contractual Overreaching, Stephen E. Friedman
Stephen E Friedman
This Article seeks to broaden the conversation about unconscionability. While most of the discussion has focused on the appropriate standard for determining unconscionability, this Article focuses on the appropriate remedy to be imposed when unconscionability is found. The current remedy for unconscionability is non-enforcement or limited enforcement of unconscionable contracts or contract terms. This remedy is inadequate and seriously undermines unconscionability’s effectiveness as a tool for policing against contractual overreaching. The Article proposes that courts be given discretion to award attorney’s fees to consumers who successfully establish the unconscionability of a standard form contract. Such a remedy would enable unconscionability …
