Three issues in comparative contract law

Presentation

This event will explore three fundamental issues of contract law from a comparative perspective:

· good faith
· principles of contractual interpretation
· change of circumstances

Leading practitioners will discuss how these concepts are understood and applied under English, French, and German law, with a focus on underlying principles rather than jurisdictional advocacy. The discussion will be structured topic by topic, with interactive exchanges between the panellists and time reserved for follow-up discussion.

The event will feature as speakers Dame Elizabeth Gloster, Thomas Granier, Professor Philippe Stoffel-Munck and Professor Stefan Vogenauer. Neil Kaplan CBE KC SBS, chair of the Delos Board of Advisors, will introduce the event. We will also hear from Monika Diehl, Vivek Kapoor and Gustavo Moser.
