| description | During the performance of public procurement contracts such circumstances may arise that require modification of the original conditions. The freedom of classical public law contracts may not predominate as a result of the European Union directive regulations, since it is a basic requirement that the contract be fulfilled within the conditions of the original tender announcer and the offer, however the possibility of amending the contract must be ensured in cases where it is necessary. The question of the change of subject may be mentioned as a particular case. The Court of Justice of the European Union in its decision, case no C-461/20 examined the question of the change of subject arising from legal succession and examined the framework for the interpretation of the directive conditions, with regards of the context and without questioning other non-codified conditions. Based on the judgment, further issues such as the general theoretical foundations of the contract amendment, the relations between the change of subject and the contract amendment, the deviations from other directive cases due to the change of subject, the necessity of a new public procurement procedure and the unlawful omission of the public procurement procedure, may be investigated. Contract amendment options regulated in European Union directives like the above-mentioned C-461/20 of the Court of Justice of the European Union raise many questions of legal interpretation. The study analyses the legal basis that provides the possibility of subject change based on legal succession, going beyond the framework of traditional legal case analysis, comparing it with other legal bases for amending contracts, contrasting the arguments in the judgment, and relying on other relevant court decisions. |
