Understanding the phenomenon of a real contract: stereotypes, new approaches, and scientific value
Kazancev M.F. Understanding the phenomenon of a real contract: stereotypes, new approaches, and scientific value // SHS Web of Conferences: 14th session of Euro-Asian Law Congress “The value of law” 2021.– 2022.– Vol. 134. No. 00057.– 4 p. DOI: 10.1051/shsconf/202213400058.
The article deals with the definition of a real contract. It is shown that understanding the phenomenon of a real contract is based on the stereotypes: it is defined as an act of transferring a thing in the purchase and sale (tradition). This stereotype does not reflect reality. The transfer of a thing based on the sales contract is not a contract or any other transaction at all. This transfer is an execution of the sales contract. The real contract is a purchase and sale contract. In order to overcome stereotypes in the understanding of a real contract, a new methodological approach based on the doctrine of the subject of civil contractual regulation is required. The basis for classifying civil law contracts is the classification of contracts by the subject of regulation. The real civil contract is a civil contract aimed at regulating proprietary legal relations. Understanding the phenomenon of a real contract has scientific value, since it allows us to identify the legal nature of a real contract, and advances the theory of contract law by classifying contracts by the subject of regulation into obligation, real and real obligation ones.
