Hardship. Comparative Law

Abstract

The new Civil Code brings important innovations with regard to the effects of a contract, as some of them are regulated for the first time in our legislation, such as the doctrine of hardship or unilateral termination of a contract. Below we will deal with one of these exceptions from the principle of a relative contract by referring to the sources of comparative law and highlighting especially the unusual aspects that are worth special attention in legal literature; certainly, we expect that the case law has a decisive contribution to the clarification of the aspects in question by the resolutions to be passed.
