“…Tādējādi baznīcas tiesās kreditors varēja celt prasību arī pret tādu parādnieku, kurš nav izpildījis savas saistības no kailas vienošanās. 30 Tomēr laicīgajā jurisprudencē pacta sunt servanda princips tik ātri neguva atbalstu. Tā, piemēram, legisti (laicīgās jurisprudences pārstāvji) vēl 15. gadsimtā izveidoja neviennozīmīgi vērtējamu tiesību institūtu pactum geminatum, ar ko apzīmēja divus pēc kārtas noslēgtus kailos paktus ar vienādu saturu, kas, pateicoties secīgai noslēgšanai, varēja iegūt līguma jeb ietērptā pakta spēku.…”

The article provides a scientific insight into the sources of Article 1587 of the Civil Law of the Republic of Latvia and their role in the development of pacta sunt servanda principle. The article presents an insight into evolvement of pacts in Roman law and during the reception of Roman law, including an assessment of the influence of canon law on the development of the pacta sunt servanda principle as a basis of the principle of freedom of contract and its role in overcoming the numerus clausus principle in Roman contract law. Finally, an analysis of particular law sources is presented, demonstrating a common approach to the reception of Roman law in the south-west of Germany and the Baltic provinces.

This chapter surveys the contract law doctrines shaped by medieval and early modern canonists and theologians, and their impact on the Western legal tradition. These doctrines were forged from rules included in the Bible, Aristotelian philosophy, Roman law, canon law, and medieval theology. They consisted of principles for the creation and execution of contracts and basic forms of regulation regarding the most important financial transactions. They included rules on offer and acceptance, duress, fraud, fairness in exchange, usury, and restitution. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, they were modified and expanded by early modern Catholic and Protestant scholars. While laying more emphasis on biblical morality, faith, and charity, Protestant theologians and jurists nevertheless remained well versed in most of the teachings developed by their Catholic counterparts. Especially through their influence on natural lawyers in the subsequent centuries, many of the religiously informed doctrines of contract found their way into modern codifications. Only in the nineteenth century were they abandoned to make way for other ideas from outside the Christian faith. With the rise of legal positivism, principles that referred too clearly to the moral and religious engagements with contract law from the past, such as the notion of just pricing, were expressly abandoned. Christian authors nevertheless continued to discuss issues of contract law from a religious perspective within their own circles, stressing the need to observe fairness in exchange.
