The Law Commission and Scottish Law Commission were asked to advise the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the Ministry of Justice on the potential advantages of and problems with an optional system of European contract law in relation to:
- business-to-consumer contracts, with particular reference to consumer protection and the desirability of combating barriers to trade; and
- business-to-business contracts, with particular reference to SMEs.
This advice paper concludes our project on the Common European Sales Law.
