A comprehensive legal system is the foundation for a healthy economic and social life in every country. It regulates various details of our everyday life, often without us noticing it. We act in the role of a consumer, take advantage of our guarantee for a product or buy a device and thereby conclude a contract of sales. However, we go through all these steps without even being aware of the legal background of our actions. Having this in mind, naturally not every country has the same rules and laws when it comes to regulating life within their borders. That is why, in the following we are going to take Germany, France and Spain as an example to explain different topics that have an impact on every citizen in those countries. To be more precise, the next sections will give a detailed insight into the topics of contract law and breach of contract.
