Summary
In spite of its liberal stance, German private law has numerous regulations aimed at protecting the contracting party from the disadvantages of his/her own decision. Based on this fact, Klaus Ulrich Schmolke traces the requirements and limits of legal paternalistic intervention in the freedom of contract and, using the insight gained from this, he develops a concept of the conditions for the justification of legal paternalism in private contractual relationships.
