Dolus Bonus in Roman and Contemporary Law

handle is hein.journals/iusrom2016 and id is 923 raw text is: IUS ROMANUM DOLUS BONUS IN ROMAN AND CONTEMPORARY LAW Asst. prof. Angel Shopov, PhD University of Plovdiv ,,Paisiy Hilendarski, Bulgaria Abstract: This research paper scrutinizes the notion of dolus bonus at the time of Ancient Rome compared to its nowadays' meaning. In addition, the author analyses the ratio between dolus bonus and dolus malus and their importance on the notion of dolus. In contemporary law the problem is often discussed in connection with the deceit as the reason for nullification of contracts. The author sketches the borderline between good intention (dolus bonus) and bad intention/faith (one of deceit's prerequisites). The paper considers other contemporary (Bulgarian, but having EU origin) legislation which puts indirect limitations on good intention, too. Under this legislation dolus bonus should not create any probability on misbelief (as a deceit's prerequisite) or on (material/non material) loss by the addressee. Keywords: dolus bonus; dolus; deceit; nullification of contract; good intention; commercial puffs; advertising; consumer; (unfair) competition. CTpaH La 923 OT 935 ISSN 2367-7007 1/2016
