Abstract

Ovaj rad bavi se institutom izmjene ili raskida ugovora zbog promijenjenih okolnosti tj. klauzulom rebus sic stantibus. Institut pozivanja na promijenjene okolnosti značajan je dio ugovornog prava te sve više dobija na važnosti. U radu se ukratko prikazuju teorijska osnova i povijesni razvoj, a zatim se prikazuje uređenje ovog pravnog instituta u hrvatskom pravu, engleskom pravu te u Konvenciji Ujedinjenih naroda o ugovorima o međunarodnoj prodaji robe (1980.) („Bečka konvencija“). S obzirom da se engleski pravni sustav kao Common Law sustav značajno razlikuje od hrvatskog, za potrebe ovog rada obrađeno je uređenje instituta i u engleskom pravu kako bi se prikazale razlike u povijesnom razvoju, a u konačnici i uređenju instituta. Na kraju su opisana i rješenja iz Bečke konvencije, koja ne sadržava izričitu odredbu o promijenjenim okolnostima, zbog čega je pitanje primjenjuje li se ista na slučajeve promjena okolnosti, dugo vremena bilo predmetom brojnih rasprava. Međutim, prikazano je kako se tumačenjem čl. 79. Konvencije može doći do odgovarajućih rješenja.

Abstract (english)

This paper deals with the concept of modification or termination of the contract due to changed circumstances, i.e., clausula rebus sic stantibus. The concept of invoking changed circumstances is a significant part of contract law, gaining more and more importance. The paper briefly presents the theoretical basis and historical development and then analyses the regulation of this concept in Croatian law, English law, and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) (CISG). Given that the English legal system as a Common Law system significantly differs from the Croatian one, for the purposes of this paper, the regulation of this concept in English law is presented as well, to show the differences in historical development, and ultimately in the regulation of the concept. Finally, the solutions from the CISG are described, even though the CISG does not contain a specific provision on changed circumstances, which is why the question of whether it applies to cases of changed circumstances has been the subject of numerous discussions for a long time. However, it is shown that with the interpretation of Art. 79 of the CISG, suitable results can be reached.
