Abstract The article "Common Frame of Reference and Social Justice" by Martijn W. Hesselink evaluates the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR) of social justice. It discusses the important areas, namely a common frame of Reference in a broad sense, social justice and contract law, private law and democracy, Neo liberal or social-democratic underlying values and principles, the protection of weaker parties, and role of good faith. The author concludes that the draft Common Frame of Reference has all the characteristics of a typical European compromise.
