| Research Abstract |
Austrian legal scholar Walter Wilburg has developed what is known as a "flexible system". According to this system, a legal rule shall contain explicit reference to all the elements (factors, principles) relevant in finding a solution in the particular case to which this rule is to be applied. This system was adopted for the first time in history in the New Austrian Draft on Liability Law.
But this approach has given rise to criticism, because it may create a rather high level of uncertainty.
This study examined whether this system should be adopted in Japanese legislation or not.
