¿Hacia dónde va el Derecho civil europeo?

Abstract

Since 2014, the ambitious project to firstly create a European Civil Code and, then, on a more limited basis, a European Contract Law, has been shelved by European institutions. The legislator has returned to a pointillistic approach, this time through maximum harmonization directives and regulations, with which it tackles the impact of technology and the digital revolution on Private law. It is still necessary a general Contract law that provides consistency. However, while for some academics it is time to bring order and reassess doctrinal text and case law. Others believe that it is necessary to go further in the classical areas of Civil law, and there are even those who are considering the possibility of a European code, but this time for businesses to business relations.
