Academic CFR - Revised version published (end of 2008)
A new version of the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR) prepared by the Study Group on a European Civil Code and the Research Group on EC Private Law (Acquis Group) has been published. It will be available on the EU ‘CIRCA’ database soon.
An economically priced outline edition will again be published in print (March 2009 at the latest) and can be obtained at www.sellier.de. The “full version” (which includes commentary and comparative notes on each article) will be published in book form in October 2009, and again can be obtained at www.sellier.de.
Academic CFR - Professor Simon Whittaker's report to the UK Ministry of Justice (MOJ)
The MOJ aim to publish this on their website (160 pages). In summary, Professor Whittaker has concluded that the academic CFR, as it currently stands, is not suitable to be used either as a ‘toolbox’ or guidelines for the legislator or an optional pan-European contract law code (‘an optional instrument ’). Professor Whittaker has acknowledged, however, that there is a role for a CFR of some kind to improve the quality of legislation by providing legislators with guidelines or a ‘toolbox’.

The objective of this blog is a:
BODY OF KNOWLEDGE and
JOINT DISCUSSION PLATFORM for all BUSINESS stakeholders to monitor the Common Frame of Reference for EU Contract Law (CFR) Project.
A Survey by Clifford Chance one of the world’s leading law firms showed that business wants the European Commission to continue its deliberations on an optional instrument: http://www.cliffordchance.com/expertise/publications/details.aspx?FilterName=@URL&LangID=UK&contentitemid=8354
It concluded:
“Business in the EU is very interested in a neutral, EU contract law, and would be likely to use it. But this does, of course, depend upon it being a good law that enables trade and gives business the predictability it needs.”
Do you represent business? Is business interested in a CFR - an EU Contract Law?
