Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
今日の社会では企業間の取引が圧倒的な重要性をもっているが、企業が当事者となり、そのノウハウ等を持ち寄って事業を行なう「組織型契約」に着目すると、従来の契約法理論は十分な規律を提示しえていない。そこで、本研究課題では、経済学・経営学の知見のほか、経済分析が盛んなアメリカの契約法理論を参照するという、学際的、分野横断的なアプローチを採用し、「組織型契約」の解釈のための指針、および、長期間にわたる「組織型契約」の解消が認められる要件論の提示を提示し、従来の議論の進展に寄与した。さらに、コロナ禍が契約関係に及ぼす影響についても、本研究課題によって得られた知見を踏まえ、国内外に積極的な発信を行った。
