Due to the globalized nature of modern commerce, arbitrators and legal counsel are often required to interpret contracts according to the rules of legal systems that are different from their own. Thus a thorough comparative examination of the principles of interpretation of contracts in major legal systems and uniform laws, such as this indispensable book provides, becomes an essential resource.

The book examines the principles of contract interpretation found in seven legal systems--French, Italian, German, Swiss, Turkish, English, and U.S.--as well as in all applicable uniform laws, drawing on the case law and scholarship aligned with each. In addition to texts intended to unify or harmonize the law at a global level, the European Union's uniform law texts, which constitute an important reference model for regional codifications, are also presented. The terminology peculiar to each system has been preserved in its language.

Specific issues and topics raised include the following:

  • "subjective" versus "objective" interpretation;
  • historical reasons for basic differences in the approaches of individual legal systems;
  • the principle of freedom of contract;
  • good faith and fair dealing;
  • rules that restrict the interpretation of contracts; and
  • commercial usages.

The author's systematic presentation culminates in a proposal of a practical and universal method of interpretation of contracts.

Given the importance of the interpretation of contracts in cross-border transactions, every practitioner of international arbitration will welcome this incomparable book's easy access to the essential literature and case law in the legal systems and uniform laws they are most likely to encounter. Corporate counsel, scholars, and academics will discover the only detailed comparative overview available of the theory and practice of the interpretation of contracts.
