In German civil law, the protection of the reliance interest has traditionally been regarded as a matter of non-contractual liability. Thomas Ackermann argues that a shift of perspective is required, in order to understand the system of obligations in a way that corresponds to the philosophical and economic foundations of contract law in a modern society.
In German civil law, the protection of the reliance interest has traditionally been regarded as a matter of non-contractual liability. Since Fuller's and Perdue's seminal article on the reliance interest in contract damages, the common law view has been different. Thomas Ackermann argues that a shift of perspective is required in Germany as well, in order to understand the system of obligations in a way that corresponds to the philosophical and economic foundations of contract law in a modern society.
