Contract Law in Norway

Norwegian contract law is considered a p*****rt of the Scandinavian legal family, a legal ***** that incorporates elements of both Anglo-American and continental legal theory. Unified codes regarding contracts have been enacted in Sc*****inavia since the end of ***** last century, such as the "***** ***** Contracts of 1918," although ***** stipulations ***** contractual ***** are not as specific as in ***** United States, and are left more open to judicial interpretations. Some legal scholars consider the entire Scandinavian ***** systems as subgroup ***** continental law. Other scholars argue that it must be classified between the two systems. Regardless, justice towards all parties ra*****r than the letter of the contract ***** important in the ***** ***** the Scandinavian system. Like the continental system of ***** judicial proceedings regarding d*****putes are informative rather than adversarial. (Lillebakken, 1997) number ***** differences exist between the Norwegian ***** system of law and ***** American system. For example, a the University of Oslo's leg*****l school delineates the difference between ***** law, ***** as the presence of typical "boiler-plate" clauses called 'no oral agreements' in he American system Norwegian contract ***** has no such similar ***** that states changes to the contract ***** to be done in writing, or "interpretation" which specifies how the agreement is to be construed, or letters of intent that contain non-binding agreements. (***** of Oslo Law School, 2005) Characteristic for ***** Norwegian legal tradition in the 20th century, as for the rest of Scand*****avia, is the so-called "***** real*****m," which ***** emph*****ized *****ations of justice in legal reasoning. Conceptualism and integrated theoretical ***** have never *****en followed in Scandinavia, in other words, there is no attempt to create a unified theory of ***** law, ***** disputes are handled by a case by case basis, with more faith in the practices of ***** judges ***** administer and dispense *****. (Lillebakken, 1997)
