The loan contract

Summary/Abstract: The study devoted to the loan contract resumes in a new form, determined, indeed, by the new Civil Code as well, this type of contract with a millenary existence, which has its roots in the Roman Age. The study emphasizes the evolution in time of the loan contract, from the essentially free loan, concluded between relatives, friends, acquaintances, a contract in which the moral precepts, including those related to religious morals, were extremely obvious, to the current loan contract, with an onerous variant, a contract that, without having lost its viability, has become extremely topical, useful. The study also emphasizes the form in which the Civil Code has insisted on regulating this type of contract, under the more or less beneficial influence of the doctrine and of the case law prior to its adoption. We tried, where we found it necessary, to go beyond the traditional patterns of the contract, as it is regarded by a significant part of the doctrine, and to accredit other points of view, being fully aware of their fragility. Last but not least, we tried to adapt the theories of some pragmatic exigencies, which, ultimately, should prevail over any constructions more related to the philosophy of law, not to the changing law.
