What is this course about? Private law, as a branch of law governing the legal status and mutual relations of free and equal individuals, is an extremely important area of harmonization of the laws of the Member States of the European Union. The aim of the course is to introduce all students to the specifics of private law in the European Union. During the course, special emphasis shall be placed on the application of EU law in the area of private law relationships and thereto-related contentious issues arising in harmonization of national private law with EU law. The course deals with those areas of private law, which are particularly developed by the EU law, such as contract law, copyright, liability for damages, consumer contract law, remedies, etc. Furthermore, particular emphasis is placed on the function of private law for the development of the digital market by addressing topics related to electronic formation of contracts, blockchain technology, use of platforms for formation of contracts, etc. The course will prepare you to master the terminology used in EU private law, it shall familiarize you with the legal sources of EU private law, the specific principles of EU private law, the case law of the Court of Justice, and it shall help you understand the process of harmonization of European law as well as current problems in harmonization. The goal of the course is to develop the following skills with each student: - Definition and understanding of the legal sources and certain concepts and notions of European private law (introduction and principles, contractual aspects of electronic commerce, consumer protection, intellectual property, European contract law). - Understanding of the structure of the European private law and difference between the structure of the European private law and Member States' national private laws. - Understanding of the application of European private law in private law relationships. - Understanding of the rules of the European contract law. - Understanding of the EU rules related to the liability for damages and tort law with a special emphasis on the rules related to the liability for the defective products and liability for damages related to the electronic formation and enforcement of contracts. - Understanding of the rules of EU copyright and related rights law. - Understanding of basic property law aspects of the European private law and current EU inheritance law rules. - Understanding of the functioning and private law regulation of digital markets.
