The essay addresses the control of Unnegotiated Standard Form Contracts and the legal tools developed for such purpose both in common and civil law traditions. In particular, on the one hand, it focuses on unconscionability, as it was originally crafted by the USA’s Uniform Commercial Code and recently shaped as a new doctrine by the Canadian Supreme Court; on the other hand, it looks to the American civil codes of Quebec and Argentina. Then it deals with some cases occurring in Italian case law, suggesting that the Quebec and Argentinian Codes (as well as the recently amended French Civil Code) could give guidance in assessing the enforceability of unnegotiated standard clauses that affect the very core of the contract and its subject matter.
Il saggio affronta il tema del controllo sulla predisposizione unilaterale dei contratti standard e degli strumenti giuridici a tal fine sviluppati sia nella tradizione di common law, sia in quella di civil law. In particolare, da un lato, si concentra sulla “Unconscionability Doctrine”, così come è stata originariamente recepita nell'Uniform Commercial Code statunitense e come recentemente sviluppata nelle decisioni dalla Corte Suprema canadese; dall'altro, esamina la disciplina recata dai codici civili americani del Québec e dell'Argentina in punto di determinazione unilaterale del contenuto del contratto da parte del predisponente. Infine, muovendo da alcuni casi emersi nella giurisprudenza italiana, ci si interroga sulle indicazioni che possono essere tratte, anche per la giurisdizione domestica, dalla disciplina contenuta nei codici del Québec e dell'Argentina (così come nel codice civile francese, recentemente novellato) per la valutazione delle clausole non negoziate di determinazione unilaterale dell’oggetto e del contenuto giuridico del contratto standard.

Abstract
The essay addresses the control of Unnegotiated Standard Form Contracts and the legal tools developed for such purpose both in common and civil law traditions. In particular, on the one hand, it focuses on unconscionability, as it was originally crafted by the USA’s Uniform Commercial Code and recently shaped as a new doctrine by the Canadian Supreme Court; on the other hand, it looks to the American civil codes of Quebec and Argentina. Then it deals with some cases occurring in Italian case law, suggesting that the Quebec and Argentinian Codes (as well as the recently amended French Civil Code) could give guidance in assessing the enforceability of unnegotiated standard clauses that affect the very core of the contract and its subject matter.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
