The author examines the so called “Athenian law on homologia”, maintaining that it recognized for the first time contracts based on the simple agreement of the parties (consensual contracts) as valid in the Athenian juridical system. Moreover, he affirms that the law on homologia also provided that the will of the contracting parties (brought together in the homologia) must be free of defects such as duress and fraud. He finally asserts that, in case of consensual defects of the contracting parties, the consequence was the invalidity of the contracts and of the obligations arising therefrom.
L’autore esamina la cosiddetta “legge ateniese sulla homologia”, sostenendo che essa riconobbe per la prima volta la validità nell’ordinamento giuridico ateniese dei contratti basati sul mero consenso (o semplice accordo) delle parti. Inoltre, egli afferma che la legge sulla homologia abbia stabilito che le volontà delle parti contraenti (unite nella homologia) dovessero essere libere da vizi quali la violenza e il dolo. Egli infine asserisce che, in caso di vizi della volontà delle parti contraenti, la conseguenza fosse l’invalidità dei contratti e delle obbligazioni da essi sorte.

Abstract
The author examines the so called “Athenian law on homologia”, maintaining that it recognized for the first time contracts based on the simple agreement of the parties (consensual contracts) as valid in the Athenian juridical system. Moreover, he affirms that the law on homologia also provided that the will of the contracting parties (brought together in the homologia) must be free of defects such as duress and fraud. He finally asserts that, in case of consensual defects of the contracting parties, the consequence was the invalidity of the contracts and of the obligations arising therefrom.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
