Abstract
Contract law fulfills an important function in society and is important for how different interests are protected and promoted.

Den svenska traditionen är rak och kortfattad medan det i angloamerikansk common law finns en tendens till komplicerade avtal. Reglerna om avtalsslut och de tolkningsprinciper som finns på området har traditionellt ansetts skilja sig i engelsk rätt från dem i nordisk rätt som inte grundas på common law. (Less)
