This structure consists of two key elements: first, a general liability framework that allows for compensation of pure economic loss based on certain qualified conduct, such as negligence; and second, an implicit obligation to contract, which, though not explicitly recognized, is presumed in most systems. The book argues that this dual framework provides valuable insights into ongoing scholarly debates and the challenges practitioners face in cases of failed contract negotiations. Drawing on these insights, it proposes a more effective approach to the obligation to contract: one that encourages parties to collaborate in reaching an agreement voluntarily rather than imposing one upon them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to researchers in the field of comparative contract and tort law, European private law, and private law theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56501251703158,"sku":"9781032956688","price":189.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37503240_4282c2cf-abc7-43ca-b6b1-64958535fc07.jpg?v=1762101480","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032956688-liability-law-for-failed-contract-negot","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
