CONSTRUCTION contracts differ from country to country. It is a result of a number of different factors, depending on the legal system that underpins the legislation of a particular Member State of the EU. Regarding the fact that there are two generally accepted systems among the Member States of the European Union, the Roman continental and Anglo-Saxon, the forms of the construction contracts are different. And if we look at the form of the contract in the Roman continental system being divided into a pandekts and institutional system, we can even there find the different variations of the form of the construction contract. As far as Scandinavia is concerned, there are more and more strongholds that it represents the legal system by itself, a kind of mixture of the common law and continental system. THE author of the paper will show the legal regulation of the construction contract and how it is standardized in some legislative systems of the European Union. Is the construction contract considered to be an independent contractor or there is an analogy being used in the contract for supply of a service as well as in special acts.
