Abstract

It is possible to find a considerable amount of doctrine about the precontractual period, referring the stage of preliminary negotiations, offer and acceptance, including the so-called pre-contractual liability. On the contrary, there is not much literature about the law concerning the post contractual period. Nevertheless, it is possible to think about the post contractual period in a similar way than about precontractual issues. Postcontractual period is very relevant for instance in corporate law, that is to say, contractual relationships that involves management and require of a further step of liquidation and account rendering, which is regulated by its own rules. After the contract is terminated, an order is also necessary, and doing research about this order and discipline appears to be useful.

Keywords: civil liability, contractual liability, precontractual liability.
