THE SUPPLY CONTRACT: A SIMPLE SALE OF GOOD?
THE SUPPLY CONTRACT: A SIMPLE SALE OF GOOD?

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to address two objectives: in general, to briefly outline the particularities of the supply contract and, in particular, to distinguish its position among the special civil law contracts.The supply contract is a new production of the Civil Code (art. 1166-1771).In this respect it is important to differentiate the supply contract from the other two civil law contract, namely the sale contract and the subcontracting agreement.By defining the contract we aim at establishing its legal nature, particularly that of an independent (distinct) agreement.This paper is structured as follows: “Introduction”; “The Supply Contract. Definition, Object and Legal Characteristics”; “The Parties’ Obligations According to the Supply Contract”; “Modifications of the Legal Supply Relationships. Subcontracting.”; “Supplying: an Independent (distinct) Contract or a Different Form of Sale?”This legal undertaking ends with a lege ferenda and conclusions.
