Avtalsbundenhet till följd av konkludent handlande
(2023) HARH13 20231Department of Business Law
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Den svenska avtalslagen är mer eller mindre oförändrad sedan den trädde i kraft år 1915. Det är därför inte överraskande att flera kompletterande avtalsrättsliga regler har framarbetats med tiden. Konkludent handlande är ett exempel på en sådan regel som har fått sitt svar och betydelse i rättspraxis. Ett konkludent handlande är en situation då en avtalspart uttrycker en tyst, dvs. ”icke uttrycklig” viljeförklaring. Utväxling av anbud eller accept sker då inte uttryckligen utan betydelsen av viljeförklaringen får tolkas av motparten. Rättsläget är oförutsebart så syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda och analysera hur konkludent handlande resulterar i, eller påverkar avtalsbundenhet.

En förutsättning för att en handling ska resultera i avtalsbundenhet är att handlingen har rättsverkan och benämns som en rättshandling. Vad det innebär att en rättshandling är konkludent är en av frågeställningarna i uppsatsen. Vidare analyseras hur avtalsbundenhet uppstår eller påverkas genom konkludent rättshandlande. Två förutsättningar uppställs för när en konkludent handling får rättsverkan. För det första ska omständigheterna vara ”tillräckliga”. För det andra ska omständigheterna ha framkallat ”befogad tillit” hos motparten. Motparten ska alltså ha fått uppfattningen om att handlingen konstituerat en viljeförklaring med syfte att grundlägga, förändra eller upphäva ett rättsförhållande. Bedömningen avgörs slutligen utifrån omständigheterna i det enskilda fallet. Enligt i uppsatsen berörda rättsfall får konkludent handlande sällan rättsverkan men bör ses som ett bra komplement till den svenska avtalslagen. (Less) - Abstract
- The Swedish contract law is almost unchanged since it came into force in 1915. Therefore, it is not surprising that several supplementary contract law rules have been developed over time. An “implied in fact contract” is an example of that, which has received its answer and meaning in legal practice. An “implied in fact contract” arises when a party expresses a silent, i.e., "non-expressed" declaration of intent. Exchange of offers or acceptance does not take place explicitly, so the meaning of the declaration of intent is to be interpreted by the other party. The legal situation is unpredictable, so the purpose of the essay is to investigate and analyze how “implied in fact contract” results in or affects contractual obligations.

An “implied in fact contract” is an example of that, which has received its answer and meaning in legal practice. An “implied in fact contract” arises when a party expresses a silent, i.e., "non-expressed" declaration of intent. Exchange of offers or acceptance does not take place explicitly, so the meaning of the declaration of intent is to be interpreted by the other party. The legal situation is unpredictable, so the purpose of the essay is to investigate and analyze how “implied in fact contract” results in or affects contractual obligations.
A prerequisite for an act to result in contractual obligations is that the act has legal effect. What an “implied in fact contract” means is one of the questions in the essay. Furthermore, how contractual obligations arise or are affected by “implied in fact contract” is analyzed. Two prerequisites are set for when such a contract has legal effect and results in or affects the binding of the contract. Firstly, the circumstances must be "sufficient". Secondly, the circumstances must have given rise to "justified confidence" on the part of the other party. The other party must therefore have received the impression that the act constituted a declaration of intent with the aim of establishing, changing, or canceling a legal relationship. The final assessment of when contractual obligations arise or are affected is based on the circumstances of the individual case. According to relevant legal cases, “implied in fact contracts” rarely gets legal effect but should be seen as a good complement to the Swedish contract law. (Less)
