Dreptul contractelor comerciale în perioada medievală
Trade contract law in the medieval period

Summary/Abstract: Trade contract law appeared, as a necessity, at a certain stage of development of society to replace the archaic and cumbersome forms of customary regulation. In the medieval period, legal regulations were downgraded, noted as successes of the ancient period. The rules of canon law banished the merchant within of the church and forbade borrowing with interest, because it was considered that only work should produce gain, not money. The existence of adverse conditions constituted an important restriction of the commercial legal regulations, but did not mean the disappearance of trade. Merchants maintained some links between cities and provinces. The emergence of more favorable conditions for development and the intensification of exchange between cities led to an increase in their population and with them, to an increase in the number of traders and craftsmen.
