Specific Considerations in the Interpretation of Contracts

Abstract

The interpretation of contracts represents a core aspect of private law, impacting how contractual obligations are understood and enforced. This paper examines the interpretation of contracts within the framework of Romanian law, as outlined in the Romanian Civil Code. A comparative analysis is provided, contrasting Romanian principles with European Union law and the Anglo-Saxon approach, particularly as seen in the legal systems of the United Kingdom and the United States. This will help elucidate both the similarities and differences in contractual interpretation across these jurisdictions, with a focus on the legal terminology and doctrines that underpin these systems.
