Simulated Private Autonomy – Legislative and Judicial Filling of Gaps Left by Parties

在最初的申请中提出的工作计划已被证明是该项目的有效基础。最初申请中概述的特别部分（补充解释、默认规则、虚构意图声明、协商方式）已经定稿。对补充解释原则的分析表明，应更多地注意客观法律要求与源于当事人私人自治的论据之间的紧张关系。在这个重要的概念点上，新的考虑扩大和深化了研究对象。在这个问题上花费的额外时间现在需要完成一般部分。此外，由于新冠肺炎疫情，临时限制进入图书馆和工作场所等措施，也推迟了特别部分的准备工作。建立在特殊部分基础上的一般部分（模拟私人自治的一般原则、补充机制的协同、对假设当事人意志作用的重新评价）；目前正在最后定稿。在这方面，提议的概念需要进一步的论证，这是另一章的主题。此外，2019冠状病毒病大流行触及了该项目的核心。因此，该项目获得了更多的相关性和新的推动力。大流行证实了这种研究方法。就私法而言，只有在合同补充机制的一致框架内才能合理地克服这一流行病。因此，疫情引发的合同法问题可以用来验证和强化总论部分中提出的论点。

The work programme presented in the initial application has proven to be a valid basis for the project. The Special Part as outlined in the initial application (supplementary interpretation, default rules, fictitious declarations of intent, negotiorum gestio) has been finalized. The analysis of the principles of supplementary interpretation has shown that greater attention was to be paid to the tension between objective legal requirements and arguments derived from the parties’ private autonomy. In this conceptually important point, new considerations have broadened and deepened the object of investigation. The additional time spent on this issue is now required to complete the General Part. In addition, measures imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, namely the temporarily restricted access to libraries and to the workplace at the institute, have delayed the preparation of the Special Part.The General Part (general principles of simulated private autonomy, concurrence of supplementary mechanisms, re-evaluation of the role of hypothetical will of the parties), which builds on the Special Part, has been conceived; it is currently being finalized. In this respect, the proposed conception requires further justification which is the subject-matter of an additional chapter.Furthermore, the project has been touched at its core by the COVID-19 pandemic. The project has thus gained additional relevance as well as new impulses. The pandemic has confirmed the research approach. In terms of private law, the pandemic can only be overcome rationally within a coherent framework of contractual supplementary mechanisms. Thus, the contract law issues triggered by the pandemic can serve to verify and sharpen the theses developed in the General Part.
