Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Dutch term or phrase: prestatiecontract
This is the first time that I came across this word. About 61,000 hits on Google, but no definition as such. Nor is it in my editions of Van Dale N>E or Jurlex, or on Eurodic.
What is the difference been this and any other contract? (Every contract involves some kind of 'prestatie' after all.) Is it just a modish buzzword?
