Abstract of the Chapter 22 – Contract Interpretation and Unfair Terms in Vietnamese Contract Law:
This chapter examines the law of Vietnam on contractual interpretation and the regulation of unfair terms. Attention is also paid to the enforcement mechanisms for measures of consumer protection. The chapter further analyses how the courts have exercised a more indirect control by employing traditional general contract law doctrines, including the rules on procedural unfairness, in order to protect parties against the imposition of unfair terms. A number of hypothetical scenarios illustrate how the Vietnamese courts deal with issues of contractual interpretation and gap-filling and how they regulate unfair terms in practice.
