Abstract

The article is dedicated to the examination of two important problematic profiles of the category of figurae iuris which, following the Roman tradition, is formed of the so called real contracts. The first profile affects the shape to be given, in the European Contract Code, Book II, now being drawn up by the Academy of European Private Lawyers, to depositum, contractual sequestration, commodatum and mutuum. In the light of an historical and comparative analysis of the matter and of provisions of the aforementioned Code, Book I, a range of possible solutions is proposed, which goes beyond the mere alternative between "real" and "consensual" contract. The second problematic profile concerns the liability for damage, destruction or loss of the delivered item. Considered with particular regard to depositum, this problem is mainly examined referring both to the provisions of the Code, Book I, concerning contractual liability, and to the French experience relating to the obligations de moyens and obligations de résultat.
