Life Time Contracts

This book deals with life time contracts, the group of contracts which generally have the most important role to play in people's daily lives and existence. These establish social long-term relations which, with regard to certain periods of the lifetime of individuals, provide essential goods, services, labour and income opportunities for self-realization and participation. The book is divided in five parts (Introduction; Life Time in Contract Law; Labour Contracts; Consumer Credit Contracts; Residential Tenancy Contracts). The book argues that life time contracts should be integrated into the codification of modern private law. The book is written under the auspices of EuSoCo - a research programme that focuses specifically on lif time contracs in labour, housing and consumer credit as part of the European Contract Law Study Group.
