The most complete study of the UNIDROIT Principles’ provisions on gross disparity and hardship

Equilibrium in International Commercial Contracts - With particular regard to gross disparity and hardship provisions of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (2011)

The 20th Century witnessed many wars, natural disasters, political and financial crises, widespread use of information and communication technologies and global trade expansion. These political, economical and social events had some effects on legal systems both in national and international levels. As these events altered the equilibrium of many contracts, legal institutions that regard the restoration of the equilibrium of reciprocal contractual undertakings were developed in the last Century; such as lésion, unconscionability, unfairness, gabin, eccessiva onerosità sopravvenuta, imprévision, Wegfall der Geschäfts-grundlage, işlem temelinin çökmesi and hardship.

In this work, the author studies these institutions in the context of national, international and transnational laws from a comparative point of view. The author illustrates how the legal remedies are applied in periods of political and financial crises in the context of various legal systems. This book also provides the most complete study of the UNIDROIT Principles’ provisions on gross disparity and hardship that include also the relevant arbitral case law.
