No. of bitstreams: 1 Susete Gomes.pdf: 1449865 bytes, checksum: 91c93fe202e933a164da3c4f81d31ddc (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-02-14 / In business context, freedom (inserted in the private autonomy context) lays foundations to the so-called complex contracts, which may be named as so due to aspects of different nature (subjective, normative, volitional, and objective). They are atypical, besides tending to show gaps and being of duration and relational. Complex contracts attract other contracts that become related to them, forming a complex contractual system. It is to this matter that this study converges by aiming to address the interpretation of complex contracts, including an overview of related contracts. The research underlying this thesis is relevant because its theme was given almost none doctrine treatment; moreover, there is an increasing demand for such contracts in the business market. Achieving such an aim required synchronizing the demand for complex contracts with contemporary society and its complexity, which imposes the need to reduce complexities by means of selection (choices). For that, the language works as a mediator of distinct complexities arising from the legal, economic and political systems. The interpretation of complex contracts must be drawn from the concrete situation: all various elements making it up are allocated according to its economic and practical function, which is revealed by its specific cause; the elements are filtered by the vector of the circumstances of the case so that the filtered ones are weighed against the legal system by means of general clauses of objective good faith, contractual balance and social function of contracts. Therefore, in a process called “meta-contractuality”, rules to interpret the complex contractual system will derive from the complex contract itself to be used in the same contractual system in case of conflicts to solve / No âmbito negocial, a liberdade (inserida no âmbito da autonomia privada) fundamenta os contratos complexos, que podem ser assim caracterizados por diversas vertentes (subjetiva, normativa, volitiva, objetiva) e que são atípicos com tendência a ser lacunosos, de duração, relacionais. Os contratos complexos atraem outros contratos que passam a ser a eles coligados, formando um sistema contratual complexo. É para esse contexto que converge este estudo, que tem por objetivo tratar da interpretação dos contratos complexos, incluindo uma visão dos contratos coligados. Justifica-se tal investigação por ser o tema pouco tratado pela doutrina; também se percebe demanda crescente de tais contratos no mercado negocial. Alcançar tal objetivo pressupôs sincronizar a demanda por contratos complexos com a sociedade contemporânea e sua complexidade, que impõe a necessidade de se reduzirem as complexidades por meio da seleção (escolhas). Para tanto, a linguagem mostra-se como intermediadora de complexidades distintas advindas dos sistemas jurídico, econômico e político. A interpretação dos contratos complexos deve ser feita com base na situação concreta: alocam-se todos os elementos diversos que os compõem conforme sua função prática e econômica, que é revelada pela sua causa concreta; filtram-se os elementos pelo vetor das circunstâncias do caso para que os elementos filtrados sejam ponderados relativamente ao sistema jurídico por meio de cláusulas gerais da boa-fé objetiva, do equilíbrio contratual e da função social dos contratos. Portanto, do próprio sistema contratual complexo vão emanar as normas de interpretação — a metacontratualidade — que sobre o mesmo sistema contratual incidirão para dirimir eventuais conflitos

Le champ d’application de la Convention de Vienne de 1980 sur la vente internationale de marchandises constitue une question très délicate. En effet, le caractère abstrait et supplétif de ladite Convention a donné naissance à une jurisprudence fort divergente et à une doctrine rarement en accord. Les difficultés d’application de la Convention démontrent clairement les limites de cette dernière à s’adapter aux nouveaux contrats de vente internationale. Ces difficultés sont-elles dues à une mauvaise interprétation des termes de la convention ? Serait-il juste de compléter les lacunes de la Convention de Vienne par d’autres Conventions telles que les règles d’UNIDROIT ou les principes de droit européen des contrats ? Faut-il aller «au-delà» de la Convention de Vienne ? Toutes ces questions doivent être gardées en tête pour bien analyser le champ d’application de ladite Convention. / The scope of application of the 1980 Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is a very delicate issue. Indeed, its abstract and supplementary nature has given rise to markedly divergent judgements and rarely agreeing doctrine. The difficulties arising from the application of the CISG clearly exemplfy its limited ability to adap to novel international sale of goods contracts. Are these difficulties attributable to faulty interpretations of the provisions of the CISG? Would it be opportune to compensate for the CISG's shortcomings by resorting to other instruments, such as the UNIDROIT rules or the principles of European contract law? Is it necessary to look beyond the Vienna Convention? All these questions must be considered in order to properly analyse the scope of application of the CISG.
