4 See, e.g., in the fourth chapter concerning the conclusion of the administrative contract, where the question is raised regarding art. 12 of the Contracts (General Part) Law, 1973 (27 L. S. I. 117), i.e., the good faith requirement.

6 It is not quite clear whether the statement, according to the context, applies to contracts of local authorities with private parties or to “government” contracts with local authorities (see the note referring to French and German law (p. 5, n. 6) as distinct from American law).

7 This definition, which refers to the account in the introduction, appears even more dogmatic!

10 It should be recalled that in France three categories of contract are included under administrative contracts: contracts determined by law (e.g., public works contracts); contracts associating the co-contracting party (under private law) with the actual execution of a public service; and contracts containing exorbitant clauses under common law.

12 It will be noted that this sentence refers to a note (n. 1, p. 148) indicating: “This, of course, comes under the general jurisdiction of the High Court of Justice over acts of the administration”! This seems obvious and yet, does it not ruin the essence of the proposed thesis?
