Abstract
At this point, it has been argued that the Portuguese courts can use the DCFR where the domestic legal provisions do not provide an effective solution to a given legal dispute. The question thus follows if, among its 56 rules on non-contractual liability arising from damage caused to another, the DCFR contains a workable solution for the protection of pure economic interests considered worthy of legal protection by the courts.
