Scholars of law and economics from across Europe look systematically at the concept of the general clause or standard, the clause gňřale, the Generalklausel. They explore legal rules that are not precisely formulated, terms and concepts that in fact do not even have a clear core, and are not formulated by the legislature in a way that lends itself quite readily and directly to application. They cover French, German and Dutch, and English laws; the European Commission contract law context; and fundamental considerations and the European codification dimension.
