Abstract
States that although the “contractualization” of social law appears not to have had an effect on the UK this is incorrect, as the UK is affected by an opposite type of trend. Further explains how the European Union directives have led to a proliferation of “statutory laws”, which have had an effect on companies. Questions the democratic legitimacy of certain attempts at contractualization as there needs to be two parties in negotiation for social law to be satisfied.
