Abstract
How should the concept of ‘freedom of contract’ be understood in a way that is compatible with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)? With a focus on English contract law, this discussion challenges negative interpretations of freedom of contract confined to non-intervention by the state and limited to a narrow perception of the public as economic actors in pursuit of self-interest, in favour of positive interpretations which embrace wider social values such as equality and dignity.
