Contract law is one of the key areas of private law. In fact, modern economy primarily functions through the web of contracts ensuring transfer of goods and services. As a result, most legal systems employe a large number of typical contracts, to mention just a few: contracts on sale of movable and immovable goods, contracts on provision of services, loan agreements, lease, distribution and many others. Anyone, conducting research on private law or practicing it, needs to have a good knowledge of the core concepts and rules of contract law. The purpose of this course is to provide such core knowledge, teacing students to identify the main types of contracts, principal stages in the “life of a contract” and rights and obligations arising out of them. Students will also learn to apply contract law concepts to practical cases thus transforming the acquired knowledge into a competence.
