Intended for the use of foreign lawyers, this concise and accessible volume originates in the International Encyclopaedia of Laws. Belonging neither to civil law nor to the common law tradition, the Swedish legal tradition is a methodological compromise between the two. Flodgren and Runesson offer, first, a general introduction to the background of the country, and an introduction to the law of contracts, which is followed by two sections: Part I deals with the general principles of the law of contract, which includes formation; the conditions of substantive validity; the contents of a contract; privity of contract; the end of the contract; and remedies. Part II treats specific contracts and covers agency; bailment; aleatory contracts; sale of goods; hire of work & skills, building contracts; lease, commercial and agricultural leases; compromise settlement; suretyship; pledge; loans; contracts with the government and other public administrations; contract of partnership; and quasi-contracts.
