The essay examines the evolution of the principle of nondiscrimination in light of the U.S. experience. The decisions in Masterpiece and Creative 303 are examined in particular. It is noted how a careful resolution of the conflict between fundamental freedoms can only move from an ontological-relational appreciation of the person, taking into account the nuances of the concrete case.

The work intends to examine the particularities of the settlement as a contract, based on the recognition of this legal nature, by the Civil Code of 2002. Since settlement is a legal instrument of great practical and theoretical importance, whose main purpose lies in serving to regulate conflicts between individuals, through reciprocal concessions, it is considered necessary to highlight and examine its particularities, within the framework of contracts and verify the development given to it by jurisprudence in the twenty years of validity of the 2002 Civil Code. Furthermore, it is worth highlighting the new position attributed to settlement by the new Brazilian Civil Procedure Code of 2015.

The objective of this article is to examine, through a functional methodology, the risks involved in put options related to investments in the energy sector, which presents several peculiarities. The study consists of delimiting which risks are or are not inserted in the normal scope of the contract. The option is examined from a functional perspective: whether its function is merely speculative or whether its purpose is to remove one of the partners. Considering the risks that exceed the normal range (alea normal), the possibility of contractual revision or termination is examined, analyzing the legal requirements contained in articles 317, 478 and 480 of the Brazilian Civil Code.

Although the principle of consensualism is still the general rule in modern contracting, it is common, especially in complex and long-term commercial contracts, to include clauses limiting the parties’ freedom to modify or terminate them, unless certain formalities are observed. In this context, this paper analyses the so-called “no oral modification” clauses, putting forward the arguments for accepting their enforceability, as well as their limits, by means of the application of the doctrine of venire contra factum proprium.

The essay addresses the restitutions derived from the resolution for non-compliance in a comparative way within the “legal Latinity”. It compares the solutions accepted in Italian law (European legal latinity), and those of two Latin American legal systems, Colombia, and Peru. From the point of view of the discipline dedicated to resolution (termination) and its consequences, the Italian and Peruvian codes are the most advanced, while the Colombian one, which dates from the nineteenth century, leaves ample room for the jurisprudential development of this remedy. In any event, the three legal systems seem to converge on the role of restitution as a tool to return the parties to the economic situation prior to the contract. However, with regard to the basis of the restitution function, uncertainties persist between the condictio indebiti and restitutions specifically regulated in the framework of rhe resolution (termination). Even the reciprocal link between the restitutions owed by the two parties remains undeepened. Finally, the coordination between restitution and compensation for damages in the context of the resolution seems to be more clearly captured in the Italian doctrine, to which the Peruvian doctrine seems closer. Damages must be compatible with the fact that the fullfilling party of the contract no longer owes its observance to the contract, and waives the consideration. Damages cannot therefore include the value of the performance unfulfilled, but must protect the party who is faithful to the contract in terms of its positive interest in the contract, that is to say, the benefit that he would have obtained by using the performance due if it had been fulfilled.
