Sutartis – teisinio santykio realizavimo forma, todėl jai sutarčių teisėje yra skiriamas ypatingas dėmesys. Lietuvos teisės sistemoje išskiriamos įvairios sutarčių rūšys, tarp kurių yra ir šiame darbe nagrinėjamos viešosios sutartys. Darbe analizuojami esminiai su viešųjų sutarčių sudarymo tvarka, joje veikiančiais subjektais bei nutraukimu susiję klausimai, aptariama su šia tema susijusi Lietuvos Aukščiausiojo Teismo praktika. Siekiant kuo visapusiškiau atskleisti darbo temą, aptariama nemažai užsienio autorių darbų, taip pat ir Europos Bendrijų Teisingumo Teismo praktika. Kadangi sutarčių laisvė bei jos ribojimas viešosiose sutartyse yra aktuali bei daug diskusijų kelianti problema, šiame darbe pagrindinis dėmesys koncentruojamas ties klausimu, kokią vietą viešojoje sutartyje „užima“ fundamentalusis sutarčių teisės principas – sutarties laisvė, o kas „lieka“ imperatyviam valstybiniam reglamentavimui. Reikia pažymėti, jog darbe pateikiama plati Lietuvos bei kitų valstybių sutarčių teisėje aptinkamų analogiškų ar panašių sutarčių lyginamoji analizė, kurios metu stengiamasi ne tik atskleisti kitose valstybėse įtvirtintų sutarčių rūšių ypatumus, bet ir atsakyti į klausimą, ar Lietuvai apskritai reikalingas viešųjų sutarčių institutas. Atkreiptinas dėmesys, jog siekiant išsamiai aptarti viešųjų sutarčių institutą bei susisteminti visus jo bruožus, darbe taip pat analizuojamas galimas viešųjų sutarčių atspindys Europos Bendrijų teisėje. Darbo pabaigoje pateikiamos išvados bei... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / This article discusses a relevant topic in Lithuania‘s contract law – the conception of public contract and its development.
