After Brexit, the historical sponsoring member of Common Law in Europe is no longer a State Member of the EU. The primary aim of this lecture is to provide legal professionals with an overview of comparable but dissimilar civil law and common law key features in a contractual context.

There is a real opportunity for Irish law to become the jurisdiction of choice for large international contracts. The Irish legal system has even a greater prospect: an Irish common law system adopting and incorporating certain civil law principles.

The objective of this lecture is to equip the participants with:

• insights of civil law contractual principles with historical legacies from Roman law (including bona fides, iura novit curia and prescriptio)

• a multi-jurisdictional comparative analysis involving Irish, EU, German, Swiss, and Italian law contractual principles

• a further understanding of civil/common law similarities for a prospective reform of Irish contract law.
