This conference volume, edited by Reinhard Zimmermann, deals with service contracts. It analyzes the experiences of various national legal systems with this type of contract which has always been overshadowed, in comparative legal discourse, by the sales contract. The Draft Common Frame of Reference, published in 2009, which contains the first comprehensive model code in this area, provides the background for the individual studies collected in this volume.
