It aims to harmonize and clarify legal concepts across different countries, making it easier for courts and legal professionals to interpret and apply contract laws consistently. Essentially, the DCFR offers a set of legal guidelines and definitions to promote uniformity and understanding in contractual relationships within Europe, assisting in the development of more predictable and fair legal outcomes.
