Principles of Latin American Contract Law: A First Approximation
Keywords:
Contractual law, Comparative law, Harmonization of law, Latin America, Principles of Latin American contract lawAbstract
The Principles of Latin American Contract Law (PLACL) represent the result of an innovative project to systematize the contractual rules in Latin America. It is a soft law instrument that covers several aspects of the negotiation regime and that has achieved great projection in recent times, but it remains little debated on the national scene. The objective of this work is to outline, based on foreign literature, some theoretical subsidies that could contribute to the development of Brazilian investigations on the subject. In this sense, the context in which the aforementioned Principles emerged, the structure adopted throughout the document and its potential for regional and international impact are presented. The appendix, located at the end, brings a translation of the original PLDC version into Portuguese.
