Abstract

Le droit contemporain des contrats est ainsi que Philippe Malaurie, Laurent Aynès et Pierre-Yves Gautier l’ont qualifié, un droit « touffu » en France comme en Angleterre. Est-il possible de trouver un fil d’Ariane commun au droit français et au droit anglais dans ce « foisonnement surabondant des espèces contractuelles »? Une analyse de la pratique contemporaine des affaires conduit à discerner une classification - autrement dit une taxonomie - des contrats commerciaux commune à ces deux systèmes juridiques qui elle-même révèle les tendances du droit des contrats outre-Manche. Cette analyse contribue dans l’esprit du droit comparé à une connaissance plus approfondie de chacun de ces droits dans leur réalité commerciale et à une éventuelle harmonisation du droit européen des contrats afin de faciliter le commerce transfrontalier.
