Despite its high complexity and significant presence in contemporary legal-economic transactions, construction contracts are, from a legal perspective, still part of a field rarely explored by national academics. In the present article, which is part of a long-term research on the subject, we will only analyze the typical components that characterize the activity of construction contractors. The aforementioned development is justified to the extent that it will help to understand and apply in an appropriate way the general (civil) and sectorial rules on the matter. In more detail, we hope that the conclusions of the present research shed light on the elucidation of the level of risk that contractors must assume in the development of their contractual services, given the peculiarities of their activity.

This work addresses, from a legal perspective, a legal remedy specific to construction contracts that has significant practical applicability in contemporary projects: the back charge. Despite its importance, the understanding of the back charge as a contractual instrument and as a private legal remedy is still quite limited, resulting in significant gaps in legal knowledge on the subject in Peru and, in general, in civil law jurisdictions.In light of this reality, this legal research article proposes a basic configuration of the back charge, its concept, characteristics, and standard operation, as well as its main practical and dysfunctional aspects. It also examines whether the Peruvian Civil Code recognizes any similar legal remedy. Furthermore, guidelines are outlined for the balanced incorporation of this concept into contemporary construction contracts.To achieve these purposes, th...

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for general contractors to seek to govern their legal relationships with some of their subcontractors through back-to-back provisions. The principles that guide this type of agreements do not have a univocal logical-conceptual development, so their scope always depends on the intensity that, by virtue of their freedom of contract, the parties assign to the particular drafting of each subcontract. Despite this, it is currently possible to realize that there is a common minimum ground that describes the backbone of this kind of agreement. In the present article, which is part of a more extensive study in progress, we will refer to the aforementioned basic structure of backto-back construction agreements. We will describe these agreements using three principles in which they could be broken down and which guide their development (the principle of “mirror contr...

Aun cuando sus abordajes técnico-doctrinales originarios corresponden a estadios temporales bastante distantes entre sí, es posible sostener que el fraude a la ley y la coligación contractual son dos fenómenos trascendentales en el marco del derecho civil patrimonial contemporáneo. En las presentes líneas, que carecen de un afán omnicomprensivo, nos ocuparemos de algunas de las relaciones existentes entre ambas categorías. Para tal efecto, partiremos de su conceptualización básica, abordaremos su configuración jurídica (estructural y funcional), características y su tratamiento tanto en algunos modelos jurídicos comparados (ámbito en el cual aludiremos prevalentemente al modelo jurídico italiano) como en nuestro sistema jurídico. El punto central del presente trabajo consistirá en determinar con precisión cuáles son las relaciones entre fraude a la ley y coligación c...

Las adquisiciones de bienes de consumo financiadas por terceros son un fenómeno frecuente en la práctica contractual de las sociedades contemporáneas. No obstante ello, en nuestro sistema nacional dicha realidad no ha recibido el encuadramiento teórico-científico que su importancia amerita. ello resulta particularmente grave si se tiene en cuenta que semejantes hipótesis podrían acarrear situaciones de grave desprotección para el consumidor. sobre la base de un análisis histórico- comparativo, el presente artículo explicita los riesgos propios de los mencionados escenarios y propone una interesante vía para contrarrestarlos: la teoría de la coligación contractual.

Hoy en día no resulta infrecuente que los contratistas generales de construcción busquen gobernar las relaciones jurídicas con algunos de sus subcontratistas mediante términos y condiciones back-to-back. Los principios que canalizan este tipo de operaciones no cuentan con un desarrollo lógico-conceptual unívoco. Por ende, sus alcances dependen siempre de la intensidad que, en uso de su autonomía privada, le confieran los privados a la redacción particular de cada subcontrato. Pese a ello, actualmente es posible vislumbrar un mínimo común que describe la columna vertebral de este tipo de operaciones. En el presente trabajo, que forma parte de una investigación más extensa en curso, nos referiremos a la mencionada estructura elemental de las operaciones constructivas back-to-back, a la cual describiremos valiéndonos de tres principios en los que aquella se desglosa y que orien...

Ad corpus real estate sales are a globalized transactional modality today. Even though they are designed for exchanges of existing real estates, the transactional practice shows that this modality is frequently applied (especially in standardized contracting) to the presale real estate agreements. This extrapolation has resulted in more than a few legal problems where INDECOPI has intervened in ways that are not always uniform.This work will analyze the problem of the scope of application of article 1577 of the Civil Code (which governs the “as is” clause) and its consequences on private and consumer real estate contracts. This is a complex issue that has been doctrinally and jurisprudentially addressed in our country but with a non-particularly ambitious nor convincing focus.

One of the most important aspects of construction projects are their variations. These are situations that generate a series of negative consequences for those involved and constitute the breeding ground for claims and controversies, are inevitable in the construction industry. In the present article we will analyze two fundamental questions about variations: their conceptual delimitation and its causes. In general terms, we believe that a better understanding of the phenomenon will allow providing adequate and coherent solutions to the problem. The importance of this article derives from the vacuum at the legislative, doctrinal and jurisprudential levels in Peru. In effect, the regulation of the work contract contained in the Civil Code does not devote an organic treatment to variations. However, certain provisions of the mentioned normative body (as well as others included in se...

One of the most important –and controversial– ways in which the legislator intervenes in standardized contracts (i.e., contracts with general contracting clauses and adhesion contracts) lies in the possibility for jurisdictional authorities to control their contractual content. The purpose of this intervention is to eliminate or substitute clauses effectively incorporated in them for being abusive or vexatious. This paper examines the discipline of content control provided by Article 1399 of the Civil Code, a rule that, despite having been unjustly relegated by national scholars, has enormous potential to achieve the protective purposes set by our Substantive Code, when correctly understood.On this occasion, we will first analyze the various legal rules contained in Article 1399, as well as their respective hypotheses and consequences. This analysis will be complemented by a practica...
