Impedimentul justificator : provocări şi implicaţii pentru părţile contractuale şi economie

Abstract

The article emphasizes the importance of the “justificatory impediment” in maintaining stability and predictability of contractual relationships, particularly in the context of contemporary crises. Its relevance stems from the rise in unforeseeable situations (pandemics, conflicts) and their impact on contractual obligations. By clarifying this concept and distinguishing it from force majeure and hardship, the author examines the legal and economic challenges arising when it is invoked. The purpose of the research is to highlight the need for a coherent legal framework that safeguards the parties’ interests and ensures balance in commercial transactions.
