Abstract
This article presents a comparative analysis of how contracts function as regulators of relations in civil, environmental, and labor law across European Union (EU) countries. The study examines the effectiveness of contracts in establishing regulatory mechanisms and resolving disputes, considering legal principles and practices. The analysis involves reviewing scientific literature, regulatory acts, and case law in EU member states, along with theoretical frameworks. The findings reveal similarities, differences, and specific features in contract usage, including variations in provisions, enforcement, and judicial interpretation. Contracts are shown to protect rights, ensure compliance, and facilitate dispute resolution in these areas. The comparative analysis provides insights into harmonization and best practices among EU countries, contributing to policy development and further research in this field.
