Summary

This chapter deals with the different, and changing, conceptions of justice underlying modern private law systems. The foundations of modern private law had been laid in the nineteenth century and the political revolutions of that time are still reflected in many private law institutions. However, in the course of the twentieth century, private law has undergone a thorough transformation. Formalist conceptions of justice and equality have been gradually replaced by ideas of material, or distributive, justice, which aim at achieving social change through the means of private law.
