Cláusula Rebus Sic Stantibus

Abstract

An analysis of the evolution of the clause rebus sic stantibus and many currents of the theory of the unforeseen, from which they originate, considering it as a legal precept implicit in contractual relations, which permits a revision of the contract in such a way as to make it adequate to social reality, transforming itself in a means of humanizing Law, of attenuating its rigidity, seeking approximation to an ideal of justice.
