Abstrakt
The article addresses the Common European Sales Law?s (CESL) substantive and personal scope with regard to related services which curtails its related services law significantly. In the first and main part the author clarifies the concept of related services as envisagedby the CESL and suggests removing existing restrictions of the substantive and personal scope of the CESL with regard to related services so as to increase its attractiveness to potential users. In the second part the author considers briefly whether the CESL?s restriction to related services could and should be removed and the consequences of such a move towards a general service contract law.
