Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the intention theory and expression theory emerged in the German doctrine of civil law in the first, and second half of the 19th century, and their impact on the European doctrine and codifications of civil law. They are most relevant in respect of formation of contract, its legal effect and construction. Special attention is accorded to the differentiation between general and special intention theory. The latter, due the methods and standards it proposes, offers applicable solutions to specific issues even today, such as mistake and deceit, simulation, mental reservation, fiduciary transactions (trust) and contracts, etc. The author puts special emphasis on the impact of the German intention theory and expression theory on the Serbian doctrine of civil law and legislation.
