Summary/Abstract: The article contains a critical evaluation of the moral and social function of contract law. It shows the breaking of the principle of the equality of parties. Moreover, the examples of making contracts of what belongs to the fundamental human goods are also revealed. It presents violations of the principle of trust of parties that conclude contracts as a result of state intelligence operations. The paper exposes the use of electronic manipulation, because of which a weaker party of the contract is often helpless. Attention was also paid to the development of economic and commercial sanctions, which repeatedly frustrates the principle of freedom of economic activity.
