A new publication edited by Luca Ratti, associate professor of European and comparative labour law at the Research Unit in Law, serves as a new academic reflection on the so-called Life Time Contracts, contracts which establish social long-term relations providing essential goods, services, labour and income opportunities for the realization of the individual.
“Embedding the Principles of Life Time Contracts – A Research Agenda for Contract Law” follows a previous volume dedicated to life time contracts prepared by the European Social Contracts Group (EuSoCo). It expands on 16 principles that can be used to inform and interpret general contract law, with a special emphasis on employment, consumer credit and residential tenancy contracts.
The new publication elaborates common principles to preserve and protect life time contracts and is organised around two parts: The Idea of Life Time Contracts and General Contract Law, and A Spectrum of Problems to Approach the Principles of Life Time Contracts.
The book, which is aimed at practitioners, judges and policy makers, builds on an international symposium organised by Associate Prof. Luca Ratti in Luxembourg, and features a chapter by University of Luxembourg Prof. Pascal Ancel.
