Absolute and Relative Nullity of Legal Transactions under the New Civil Code

Abstract

This article is aimed at a very detailed approach to the question of nullity of legal deeds as provided by the New Civil Code, which brings important new elements in this matter. The research is based on the theoretical considerations of the article writer, who also quotes other writers, on the conclusions derived from the national and European case law on nullity, as well as on the relevant elements of comparative law. Several civil codes have been taken into consideration, firstly the Civil Code of Quebec, and have been used as a correction source and comparison model for the regulations of the Romanian New Civil Code on the matter of nullity.
