발트 3국의 계약법 체계에 관한 비교

This study is a paper that compares and reviews the characteristics and main contents of each Baltic States, including Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, with a focus on contract law. The results are summarized as follows. First, the Baltic States have been trying to fulfill their status and role as EU member states through a new judicial system. In the process, the field of contract law in particular shows considerable consistency from an international perspective and from the perspective of judicial unification. Second, the contract law of the Baltic States accepts regulations such as CISG, PICC, and PECL, and also accepts various international conventions as special laws for consumer protection. Third, the contract law of the Baltic States systemizes contractual liability in accordance with the background of the structural system, definitions of terms, and general principles of law such as the principle of good faith, the principle of freedom of contract, the principle of pacta sunt servanda, and the principle of reasonableness. Fourth, as a new trend in modern contract law, it does not cover electronic commerce and electronic contracts. However, it does accept provisions on product liability, consumer protection, and pre-contractual liability. Lastly, the Baltic States clearly state that contract law is obligation law. This can be treated as a spirit of legal consideration that respects the other party's interests from the perspective of focusing on legal obligations.
