The Unbearable Levity of Corrective Justice in Contract Law

Abstract

Papayannis focuses his objections in two basic points of the School of Toronto —to which Martin Hevia belongs and supports in his book Reasonableness and Responsibility—. The first one is the emphasis in the bilaterality of the relations of private right; and the second one is that the procedure referred to the celebration and the fulfillment of the contracts or to the compensation of the hurts that we cause to others express a way of arrangement adapted for the private matters. In conclusion, Papayannis holds that Hevia does not achieve to show that his theory differs in a relevant way from the libertarian conceptions in what it does to the contractual right.
