This commentary focuses on Article 1.10, which deals with the effectiveness of notices provided under the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC). A notice refers to any communication of intention. By way of example, the paragraph lists declarations, demands, and requests. The notice must be ‘required’ under the PICC; that is, a provision of the instrument must attach certain legal consequences to the giving of the notice. Art 1.10 establishes a single regime for all types of notice which has two main features. In order to be effective, notices are not subject to any requirement as to form. However, they must be received by the addressee. Art 1.10 also explains the burden of proof concerning the party that relies on the effectiveness of its own notice and the party that relies on the effectiveness of the other party's notice.

This commentary analyses Article 7.1.2 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) concerning interference by the other party. Art 7.1.2 deals with the situation known as mora creditoris — the obligee's failure to perform its duty to co-operate in order to allow the performance of the other party. It also addresses the situation in which the obligor's failure to perform is not due to a lack of co-operation by the obligee, but to another event for which the obligee bears the risk. The obligee that is responsible for the other party's resulting failure to perform is estopped from invoking non-performance. Art 7.1.2 is thus a particular instance of the general principle of the prohibition of venire contra factum proprium. This commentary also discusses partial interference, legal consequences of failure to perform, and the burden of proof relating to interference.

This commentary focuses on Article 5.1.3 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) concerning co-operation between the parties. Art 5.1.3 imposes a general duty of co-operation on the parties. The duty applies to all types of contract, although it is particularly important in long-term contractual relationships where the parties have to collaborate throughout the life of the contract to make it work. Art 5.1.3 requires each party to cooperate with the other party when such co-operation may reasonably be expected for the performance of that party's obligations. This commentary discusses limits to the duty of co-operation, legal consequences of a violation of the duty of co-operation, and burden of proof relating to the duty of co-operation.

This chapter sets out the numerous different types of collateral legal consequences (CLCs) facing people with criminal records, including restrictions on employment, housing, welfare, and the vote. It distinguishes CLCs from the myriad informal collateral consequences experienced by offenders. Then it discusses various dimensions along which particular CLCs may be distinguished, such as their content, scope, and duration. It makes the case that CLCs raise serious moral challenges, which require greater attention from moral, legal, and political philosophers than they have received to date. The chapter concludes with an overview of the remainder of the book.

Obligatio is defined in Justinian’s Institutes as a tie of law, a legal relationship between two persons whereby one is constrained by the other to do or refrain from doing something. It brings together relationships arising out of contract or delict, though the Digest shows it used more generally wherever a personal bond was created. Its roots lie in the verb ligare, to bind; but although Roman lawyers preferred the use of verbs over abstract nouns, here the noun form is almost as common as the verb. As a noun obligatio describes either the active or the passive aspect of the relationship or the relationship itself, allowing flexibility in legal thinking. Originally, obligatio may have been related to actio, so that only enforceable relationships were included within the word, but by classical law it applied to any relationship with legal consequences, whether or not the relationship was enforceable.

This commentary focuses on Article 3.2.16 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) concerning damages. Art 3.2.16 adopts a ‘neutral’ approach to the issue of damages by simply stating under which conditions a claim for damages may arise and what kinds of damages are recoverable. It does not distinguish between the case where the avoiding party seeks damages and the inverse case where the other party seeks damages. Irrespective of whether or not the contract has been avoided, the party who knew or ought to have known of the ground for avoidance is liable for damages so as to put the other party in the same position in which it would have been if it had not concluded the contract. This commentary discusses the liability of the party entitled to avoid and of the other party in cases where contract is avoided and not avoided, along with the allocation of the burden of proof.

This commentary analyses Article 11.1.10 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) concerning the extent of contributory claim of the performing obligor against its co-obligors. In a contractual setting, joint and several obligations arise because the obligors obliged themselves by a common commitment towards the obligee or by separate commitments in the knowledge of the commitments of the other obligors. Contribution between joint and several obligors is a generally accepted principle. Art 11.1.10 provides for a personal claim of the performing obligor against its co-obligors. According to this provision, a joint and several obligor who has performed more than its share may claim the excess from any of the other obligors to the extent of each obligor's unperformed share. This commentary considers the obligor's contractual claim to contribution, performance of more than its share, and contribution in money. It also addresses the amount of the contributory claim, costs and interest, duties before performance, and burden of proof relating to contributory claim.

This commentary focuses on Article 2.2.2 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) concerning the establishment and scope of the authority of the agent. Art 2.2.2 contains two paragraphs that distinguish between the conferral or establishment of authority on the agent on the one hand, and the extent or scope of that authority on the other. While Art 2.2.2(1) provides that authority can be granted expressly or impliedly (establishment), Art 2.2.2(2) explains how the extent that authority is to be determined. Generally, it is for the person relying on an agent's authority to bear the burden of proof that it existed at the time the agent acted.

This chapter explains the process of ‘shifting the burden of evidence’, otherwise known as the ‘shifting principle’. This is the proposition which occurs when the party who bears the initial burden puts forward evidence to support its initial claim. Here, the burden of evidence (or alternatively also termed as the ‘burden of production’, ‘burden of persuasion’, or ‘burden of proceeding’) shifts to the other party to rebut the evidence put forward. Shifting the burden of evidence is to be read in conjunction with the burden of proof principle discussed in the previous chapter. This is because it is only when the initial burden of the party making an allegation is met that the burden is shifted to the other party.
