Contracts

Contract law in the Republic of Moldova is based on the modernized Civil Code, aligned with European principles (DCFR). The core principles are good faith and contractual freedom, governing negotiation, conclusion, and performance.

The reform introduced a unified system of remedies for non-performance, including specific performance, termination, price reduction, and damages, applicable across all contract types.

The Civil Code emphasizes performance of obligations as agreed, protecting the parties’ legitimate expectations.

Title III regulates the main nominated contracts such as sale-purchase, donation, loan, leasing, services, franchise, agency, commission and others.
