Contract Law as Fairness

Abstract: This article examines the implications for contract law of Rawls' theory of justice as fairness. It argues that contract law as an institution is part of the basic structure of society and as such subject to the principles of justice.

“…For a passage similar to the one reproduced in the text, see Rawls (2001, 53-54). 6 Among those advocating for the broad conception are Kordana and Tabachnick (2005;2006) and Klijnsma (2015). Scheffler (2015) also argues for the broad conception, but denies the existence of more than one meaning for the basic structure in Rawls's writings.…”
