The law of obligations constitutes the basis for commercial law. It can be found in many branches of law and is the determining factor in recommendations and procedures.
The law of obligations covers a large number of fields,
including:
Influence of international law
Our national law is being increasingly influenced by
international law, and by directives in particular. Implementation
of these directives gives rise to a number of legal points for
discussion, such as the Product Liability Directive, the Purchase
and Guarantees for Consumer Goods Directive (this has appreciable
consequences for commercial practices), the Curbing Payment Arrears
in Commercial Transactions Directive, and the Independent
Commercial Agents Directive. People involved in legal matters are
continually obliged to keep abreast of all these changing legal
frameworks, so thorough and up-to-date knowledge of this area is
essential.
