Judicial Detection Skill and Contractual Compliance
Kirstein, Roland; Schmidtchen, Dieter - 1997
Mutually beneficial agreements might fail if the parties fear contractual opportunism. Litigation is supposed to be a remedy, but gives scope for another kind of opportunistic behavior which we call litigational opportunism: Even knowing that the opponent has fulfilled his obligations, a party...
