“…25 As a matter of fact, even if impossibility is caused by the debtor, it would be illogical to grant the creditor a primary claim, since the debtor would be unable to perform and performance could not be enforced in any way. 26 Considering the above view, German lawmakers have accepted that impossibility of performance causes extinguishment of the debtor's obligation to perform and this is independent from the availability of secondary (compensatory) claims of the creditor-hence the debtor's responsibility of impossibility.…”

“…7 Under the current BGB, the cause and characterization of a breach becomes relevant only with regard to specific remedies such as for a primary claim (Primäranspruch), damages or termination, which depend on additional pre-requisites. 8 In addition to the provisions transposed from EU Directives, the following also deserve to be emphasized among various changes: (i) the harmonization of prescription periods; (ii) liability for defective performance in sales contract; and (iii) integration of various acts regarding civil law-especially acts on consumer protection-into BGB. 9 …”

“…19 In accordance with the EUCJ's judgement of 16 June 2011 (Weber and Putz), if both repair and replacement are available, Article 3, paragraph (3), allows the seller to refuse repair or replacement, on the grounds of relative lack of proportionality; if only replacement is available, for repair is impossible, Article 3, paragraph (3), does not allow the seller to refuse "the only remedy possible", on the grounds of absolute lack of proportionality. The consumer is entitled to the replacement of the goods not in conformity even if "… replacement imposes costs on [the seller] which are disproportionate …".…”

Calabresi and Melamed's concepts of property rules and liability rules apply to contractual entitlements. The structure of consumer's contractual entitlements resulting from the consumer sales directive fits with the model of property rules. In keeping with such a model, whenever performance-oriented remedies are not available, consumers should be allowed to choose between expectation damages and disgorgement damages.Résumé: La distinction entre les règles de proprieté et les règles de responsabilité doit s'appliquer aux droits contractuels. La directive 1999/44/CE, du 25 mai 1999, s'inspirant du second de ces deux modèles-ci, les droits contractuels de l'acheteur/consommateur y sont protégés par des règles de proprieté. La décision de la directive devant être poursuivie cohéremment, le consommateur doit être accordé le droit de choisir entre des dommages-intérêts compensatoires et des dommagesintérêts restitutifs.Zusammenfassung: Calabresis und Melameds Konzepte von den Eigentumsrechten und der Haftungsregeln beziehen sich durchaus auch auf vertragliche Rechtspositionen. Insbesondere fügen sich auch die Rechtsbehelfe, die die EG-Kaufrechts-Richtlinie vorsieht, in diese Konzepte ein. Nimmt man dies ernst, so müssten Verbraucher, wenn immer ihnen die Primärleistung vorenthalten bleibt, ein (Wahl-)Recht gleichermaßen auf Schadensersatz in Form des Erfüllungsinter-esses wie auch auf Gewinnherausgabe haben.
