metadata.value: The article is an attempt to outline the so called “AGB-Recht” of Germany in an unconventional
  way, and years of contemplation have left the author to think that this part of German law is nothing
  but an aggregation of historically developed layers which sustained their sway due to their
  practical significance, however do not constitute a coherent body of principles that causes numerous
  conflicts between adopted approaches, notwithstanding the fact that it is a minutely elaborated
  legal institute. The author commences analysis with general overview of norms and case
  law that influenced its development and turns to examination of each layer insofar as its influence
  is traceable in the law or in court practice. The author has to admit lacking coherency in a number
  of cases. Among others: no definite transition to abstract fairness of clauses control and underestimation
  of objective interpretation in this regard, disregard of the fact that the contract with standard
  terms consists of both individual and non-individual (superindividual) elements, hesitative attempts
  to bases solutions on prevention. Also, the institute reveals inefficiency when, on the one
  hand, stimulation of the parties using standard terms not to abuse their power to determine them
  is not effective, and on the other hand, fairness of clauses control accompanied by inadmissibility
  for the courts to restate clauses leaves them in total uncertainty as to which clauses could be used
  and making them to search for correct formula, sometimes for years. At the same time, protection
  of their counterparties is substantially diminished when clauses control leads only to exclusion of
  unfair clauses but practically lacks tools to supply the counterparty with additional rights when
  necessary. Since interpretative gap-filling barely solves this problem, the issue remains within the
  ambit of legislature that may imperatively supply the contracts with necessary additional rights
  and securities. The article delivers critical analysis of the institute and does not serve the audience
  as the source of all necessary references to case law and legal scholarship.
