Key words: work-performance (provision of services), cas fortuit, performance risk, payment risk
Summary
The work-performance (provision of services) contract is a contract of broad application. As the economy becomes increasingly focused on services, the importance of this contract grows. However, in the Latvian Civil Law (CL) this contract is regulated in few provisions. Moreover, the regulatory regime is incomplete, lacks clarity and precision. In the article, the author discusses two specific issues where the CL’s rules applying to this contract are imprecise or hard to justify. Firstly, the author shows that the CL contains an imprecise definition of the work-performance contract. Secondly, the author criticizes the division of the risk in the contract, more specifically in the case of cas fortuit the CL allows the contractor (service provider) to claim the remuneration for the order that was not performed. In the author’s view, such a rule should be limited to circumstances when the commissioning party has prevented the contractor from performing its obligations.
