Description
<b>Contract Law in the Netherlands</b> deals with Dutch contract law as it has been enacted in 1992 as part of the new Civil Code of the Netherlands. The new Civil Code has been anticipated for a long time (work on the code started as early as 1947) and represents a major update of Dutch patrimonial law.
<p class=copymedium>In the new Code the system of patrimonial law has been improved, some parts of the law have been fundamentally changed, some parts have been slightly modified, and a large part of the 'old' law has been revised and maintained. The result is a new and modern system of law which could well serve as a model for other jurisdictions.
