Law
1. Introduction
1.1 What is law?

Definition of law

 Enforceable
o Mandatory
 Rules of conduct
o How to behave
 Imposed by the public authority
 Structuring civil society
o Try to help make society work

 “Entering into a contract is binding”
o Rule of law
 “It’s an unwritten rule that one should always arrive on time at an appointment”
o Rule of civility and decent behaviour

1.2 Distinction

Mandatory rules of law vs default rules of law

 Mandatory rules of law
o Laws that purport to apply irrespective of the law chosen by the parties to govern
their contractual relations
 The legislate is of the opinion that certain situations need to be protected.
Whatever parties might decide, the law will always prevail.
 F.e. in labor
 Default rules of law
o Rules of law that can be overridden by a legally effective agreement (gap filler)
o The rules are applicable as long as parties have not made rules for themselves.

Public policy rules vs mandatory protecti ve rules

 Mandatory rules of law
o Public policy rules (French: ordre public)
 Body of principles that underpin the operation of legal systems in each
state. This addresses the social, moral and economic values that tie a
society together: values that vary in different cultures and change over
time.
 Principles that we can not deviate from
o Principle: you can only be married to one person in Europe,
this is not always an issue in other societies
o Mandatory protective rules

,  Rules that purport to apply with the aim to protect the economic weaker
party to a contract
 Once a conflict has arisen, the parties to a contract may deviate
from such mandatory rules by a separate agreement
o Labor law, renting a house

1.3 Sources of law

Where can the rules of law be found:
 Legislation
 Jurisprudence (case law)
 Legal doctrine
 Customary law

 Legislation
o Legislation “sensu stricto” (narrow sense of the word)
 Act (of Parliament)
o Legislation “sendu lato” (broad sense of the word)
 Treaties, Constitution, Acts, Presidential/Royal decrees, Governemental
decisions, European regulations or directives …
 Jurisprudence
o Interpretation and application of a general rule of law by a judge or a court of law
on an individual situation
 In continental European law:
 No precedent or authority (<> Common law)
o Once a decision is made it’s only binding for the litigating
parties, not for later parties
o Common law: Anglo-American system
 Legal doctrine
o The systematic, analytically evaluative exposition of the substance of private law,
criminal law, public law etc.
o Legal doctrine picks up questions from legal practice and discusses them in a
more general and profound manner
 What lawyers write for other lawyers, the discussion of legal problems
 Customary law and legal principles of law
o Customary law is, by definition, intrinsic to the life and custom of indigenous
peoples and local communities
 Unwritten, how we do things, how civil society is organized
 Actual importance in modern legal systems is limited
 What are (unwritten) legal principles of law?
o They are mostly derived from existing elements of the legal
system:
 With statutory support
 E.g. general principal of “good faith”
o Art. 1134: partners should act in
good faith
o In disputes

,  Without staturory support
 E.g. reasonableness principle

1.4 Legal systems

 Civil law systems

of which is that laws are struck in writing, codified, and not determined, as in the
