Die Erweiterung Des 123 BGB Zum Verbesserten Schutz Der Rechtsgeschaftlichen Entscheidungsfreiheit

»The Extension of Section 123 of the German Civil Code for a Better Protection Against Undue Influence on Contracting Parties«: The author examines the system of protection granted by the German civil law against undue influence exerted on contracting parties. She focuses on the annulment based on fraudulent misrepresentation or threats and concludes that the best way to better protect the free will of contracting parties is to extend the existing Section 123 of the German Civil Code. She develops criteria to determine which influences can lead to the annulment of a legal act and which influences must be endured by the influenced party.
