7 1. Introduction The year 2009 was a good year for the CSECL. We had more than ten articles in leading (refereed) international journals, submitted five reports to the European Parliament and the European Commission, obtained prestigious funds for a common research project together with our colleagues from international law and European law as well as European funds for a common research project on Digital content services together with our colleagues from the Institute for Information Law (IVIR), and had a great variety of further research outcomes which will be described in more detail in this annual report. In 2009 we also had the pleasure to welcome three new arrivals, Hugh Beale as a distinguished professor and Bram Duivenvoorde and Timothy de Booys as PhD candidates. Other highlights included the inaugural lecture by Jeroen Kortmann, the symposium on the proposed consumer rights directive and the many prominent guests we had in our seminars series.

9 2. CSECL s aim and research theme The Centre for the Study of European Contract Law (CSECL) was founded in January The Centre aims to promote high quality research and education in the area of European contract law. Its research programme focuses on the interplay between the European, national and international laws of contract. In its first three years ( ) the research group has obtained a certain international reputation in the field. The aim for the next three years is to consolidate and improve the position. The research group aims to play a leading role in the academic debate on European contract law, on the four research themes, and on the subject in general. General research theme The theme of our research is European contract law. We understand contract law in a wide and functional sense, i.e. the law of economic transactions. This includes both commercial and consumer contracts, and both general and specific contract law. It also includes the relevant aspects of general patrimonial law and the general law of obligations. Moreover, it also includes important aspects of property law and insolvency law, and, albeit to a lesser extent, of tort law. European law is understood here as the law which is applicable in Europe. The definition is based on the concept of multi level governance: the research focuses on the interplay between the relevant national (civil code, common law), European (current and new acquis) and international (eg CISG) law. Finally, law is understood here also in a broad sense including not only soft law but also the context in which the black letter rules operate. As a result, research will often be multi disciplinary combining insights from comparative law, economic analysis, legal theory, political analysis, constitutional analysis, sociology and psychology. The specific focus will be, in particular, on four themes: 1) the interaction between national and community (consumer) private law, 2) economic transactions, property law and Europe, 3) European contract law, social justice and democracy; and 4) European private law and legal method. 3

10 Our research also includes other subjects within the general theme of European contract law as defined above, than those relating to the four themes. 1. The interaction between national and community (consumer) private law (directed by Marco Loos) This theme deals, in particular, with the impact of Community law on the national private laws of the Member States. Specific subjects include: the different strategies for transposing directives; the spill over effects of specific directives; the consequences of harmonization for the systematic character of private law and for the ideal of codification. In view of its predominance in EC private law, the focus will be mainly, though not exclusively, on consumer law. This theme includes, in particular, the work of Hugh Beale, Diana Dankers Hagenaars, Bram Duivenvoorde (as of 1 September 2009), Jeroen Kortmann, Marco Loos, Joasia Luzak, Sacha Tamboer and Gerard de Vries. 2. Economic transactions, property law and Europe (directed by Arthur Salomons) As said, the main object of our research is the law of contract understood in a very broad sense, i.e. as the law of economic transactions. Clearly, property law is an important part of the private law concerning economic transactions, not only because many transactions (notably sales) aim at the transfer of property but also because contracts are often secured by property or similar interests. Therefore, this research theme explores, in the first place, the possibility of convergence, harmonisation or even unification of property law in Europe. Moreover, it analyses the implications and spill over effects of the Europeanization of the law of contract (understood in a strict sense) on property law. Finally, it also addresses certain fundamental questions which property law and contract law have in common and where contract law research could learn from property law research. This theme includes, in particular, the work of Selma de Groot, Dewi Hamwijk, Arthur Salomons, and Rolef de Weijs. 4

11 3. European contract law, social justice and democracy (directed by Martijn Hesselink) In this stage, we will both broaden and deepen our research. In particular, we will further explore the implications of different social justice theories for questions of European private law; the specific role of the courts in delivering social justice; and the relationship between the Europeanization of private law and the democratic deficit in Europe. This theme includes, in particular, the work of Tim de Booys (as of 1 September 2009), Guido Comparato, Martijn Hesselink, Chantal Mak and Lyn Tjon Soei Len. 4. European private law and legal method (directed by Martijn Hesselink) Legal method plays an crucial role in both the development of European private law and its analysis. Surprisingly, however, methodological issues in European private law are not so often studied. Our aim is to contribute to the theory and practice of European private law methodology. This theme includes, in particular, the work of Marieke Oderkerk on the methodology of comparative legal research and of Martijn Hesselink on the idea of a European legal method and its implications. Moreover, in all PhD projects methodological choices are explicitly addressed and justified, which contributes to the methodological state of the art in the field. In some cases, including notably Jaap Baaij, Guido Comparato and Lyn Tjon Soei Len, developing an own analytical framework (on law & language, nationalism and capabilities respectively), is a central part of the research. The CSECL also offers education programmes including a Master s degree in European Private Law. 5

19 4. Collaborations Members of the research group participate in the following international research groups and collaborations: Joint Network on European Private Law (CoPECL) Since 2005 the Joint Network on European Private Law (CoPECL) has been started to conduct an extensive research programme to develop a Common Frame of Reference' (CFR) within a few years only. The CFR will most likely lead to a nonbinding instrument, which will be the basis for the future development of Community legislation, including possibly the formal enactment of an (optional) Civil or Contract Code. Several members of the CSECL have been involved in drafting the CFR whose efforts have resulted in the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR), Outline Edition, which appeared this year. In this so called 'Network of Excellence' co operate the Study Group on a European Civil Code, the Acquis Group, the Insurance Group, the Common Core Group and the Association Henri Capitant. The Common Core of European private Law ( Trento Project ) The aim of this project is to establish common rules with respect to certain fields of private law of the different members of the European Union, although their methods of research are totally different. The Ius Commune Research School CSECL co operates with the Faculties of Law of the University of Utrecht, the University of Maastricht, the Catholic University Leuven (Belgium) and with individual researchers of the University Stellenbosch (South Africa), the University of Edinburg (Scotland), the Free University in Amsterdam, Tilburg University and the Erasmus University Rotterdam. Several specific research projects by members of the research group are carried out within the framework of one or more of these international collaborations. The aim is to intensify and extend international collaboration and exchange. In particular, the CSECL 13

20 is keen on playing an important role in the follow up projects for Co PECL that are currently considered (maybe a European Law Institute?). Moreover, there are numerous international collaborations, on an individual basis, with scholars from many European and North American Universities. Furthermore, CSECL is partner of the Finnish Centre of Excellence in the Foundations of European Law and Polity Research. Locally, the CSECL collaborates with the Amsterdam Centre for Law and Economics (ACLE), the Amsterdam Centre for European Law and Governance (ACELG) and the Amsterdam Centre for International Law (ACIL) through, among other things, joint research projects and seminars. Recently the University of Amsterdam has granted a funding to CSECL, ACELG and ACIL for their research proposal Framing and Taming Post National Rulemaking: Views from Public International Law, European Public Law and European Private Law. 14

21 5. ORGANISATION Weekly meetings The CSECL research group has weekly meetings on Mondays which are dedicated, in turn, to the presentation of papers and to recent developments. In a series of CSECL Seminars, which take place every two weeks and which are public, researchers from the group and invited leading scholars from across the world present and discuss their working papers. The other twice monthly meetings are dedicated to discussions within the group of recent developments in legislation, case law and literature; each topic is introduced by one of the researchers. After the summer break 2009 we have introduced twice monthly lunch meetings to discuss recent developments. We have introduced the internal seminars as well, which are not public and which are usually scheduled after the recent developments meetings. One of our researchers presents his/her research and gets feed back of the other CSECL members. Interaction with teaching The Master s programme in European Private Law is directed and co ordinated and, for the most part, taught by members of our research group. Students in that programme are invited to participate in CSECL seminars, conferences, and, where possible, research. 15

23 6. Teaching Private law in Europe has undergone rapid transformation over the last two decades. From being a branch of law that was hardly affected by European Community (EC) legislation, it has become the object of a multitude of harmonisation measures, to the point that the idea of a European civil code is now a priority on the political agenda. This development has given rise to a growing demand within the legal profession, within national and EC institutions and in academic research for lawyers with a thorough understanding of both existing European private law and the ongoing Europeanisation process and its dynamics. The Master's programme in European Private Law gives students a thorough understanding of this developing multilevel system of private law in Europe. Relevant insights from other disciplines such as Economics and Political Science are integrated into the discussion of legal questions, thereby broadening and deepening the debate. The Master s programme in European Private Law is directed and co ordinated and, for the most part, taught by members of our research group. 17

24

25 7. PhD research The Centre for the Study of European Contract Law supervises PhD students and socalled JUDOOZ. 1 PhD students are appointed during three years and they have no teaching obligation, unless this is relevant to their research. PhD students and JUDOOZ are supervised by a supervisor and co supervisor. They receive training offered by the Ius Commune research school and/or the Faculty of Law. In addition they attend relevant conferences and the CSECL seminars. In 2009 the Centre for the Study of European Contract Law supervised 14 PhD students (see table), of whom 2 are JUDOOZ (Baaij and Tamboer). 3 PhD students (Van Gelder, Pereira and Boezaard) are external guests and don't participate actively in the research group. 3 PhD students whose PhD appointment has been expired (De Groot, Manko and Luzak) are working on their thesis and it is expected that they will finish it soon. On 23 January 2009 one of our external PhD students, Jean Louis van Gelder, has defended his PhD thesis. Prof. dr. A.F. Salomons was his supervisor. 1 JUDOOZ are Junior researchers who are appointed during six years and who teach 40% and conduct PhD research 60% of their appointment. 19

27 8. Publications The research group aims to play a leading role in the academic debate on European contract law, on the four research themes, and on the subject in general. For that purpose, it is required that the permanent staff members (full time employed, having a 60% research task) 2 publish either, A. two articles per year (i.e. six articles in three years), on a subject within our research theme as defined above, in one of the leading international journals (notably European Review of Private Law, European Review of Contract Law, European Law Journal, Zeitschrift für Europäisches Privatrecht, Common Market Law Review, Journal of Consumer Policy 3 ) ( A publication ), or, alternatively, B. one such international A publication plus two other articles, on a subject within our research theme as defined above, in leading national journals (in the Netherlands: WPNR, NTBR, Themis, NJB 4 ) or international journals or books of good quality but with a lower degree of international competition and impact than the top international journals 5 (eg national reports and other invited contributions) ( B publication ). For the same reason it is required that junior researchers complete their doctoral theses within the agreed three years. In addition, the members of the research group (especially seniors) are also expected to organise international conferences and seminars, and to publish books (text books, conference proceedings, monographs). A monograph in English may count as up to three A publications, depending, inter alia, on 2 The main benefit that the CSECL hopes to derive from the Faculty and University onderzoekszwaartepunten policy is a shift from 40 to 60% as the normal research task. Today, the reality is, however, that most staff still have a classical 40% research position. 3 The list of journals will be revised every year. 4 The list of journals will be revised every year. 5 Admittedly, this is a rather vague test. However, uncertainty about the requirements for individual researchers will be avoided by communicating about the issue with the research leader before submitting the paper for publication. 21
