Abstract

The concept of conformity is one of the most important topics in modern Contract Law, especially concerning the sale, as well as other types of contracts of goods and services. This is also true for the CESL, where the lack of conformity constitutes a case of non-performance, which may be down to both contractual parties, although it is more often that a non-performance is the responsibility of the seller. A situation of non-performance opens up the possibility of recourse to the panoply of remedies. The analysis of the general rules laid down in the CESL for the lack of conformity and the remedies available to the buyer, is the subject of this contribution.
