Features of Civil Law Regulation of Supply Contracts: Current Issues and Problems

Introduction: This article examines issues related to the civil regulation of supply contracts, as provided for by civil law and expressed in the form of norms and rules contained in codified documents.

Methodology and Materials: The study is based on comparative legal analysis and a systems approach, both developed by contemporary practicing lawyers and civil law scholars (A. A. Amosov, V. A. Belov, A. V. Mankieva, B. V. Avanesyan, D. V. Stepanov, and others). The primary research methods include the analysis and synthesis of business contracts.

Research results and discussion: The authors focus on disputes regarding the possibility of including other supplier rights in the contract, such as those related to delivery of goods. They note that one of the key aspects of civil law regulation of a supply contract is determining its form and ensuring compliance with all relevant requirements. Arbitration practice, which provides support in situations involving a breach of contractual requirements, is considered.

Conclusions: The corresponding conclusions and limitations are stated, stating that the right to withdraw from the contract may be granted only to the party that does not conduct (or does not carry out) entrepreneurial activity.
