Contract Law in Denmark

by Ruth Nielsen

For a broad, reliable understanding of Danish contract law, covering all important aspects, Contract Law in Denmark is the ideal quick reference book for both practitioners and students. It provides a clear overview of the field, and, at the same time, offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. The ins and outs of contracting for international sales, employment, and all other important areas are covered, with due attention to the weight given in Denmark to case law, consumer law, and legal doctrinal writing. The author sets out the main features of Danish contract law while focusing on developing trends, especially those connected with the process of internationalisation and the increasing influence of the law of the European Union. She emphasises those matters of law and practice which contrast both with both Anglo-American common law and European Community law in terms of transparency and flexibility, helping the reader to discern the advantages and disadvantages, depending on the type of outcome expected, of contracting in Denmark.
