Abstract
The recent reform of Austrian commercial law redefined the scope of applicability of commercial law. Commercial law, which formerly had been restricted to merchants, now addresses all business enterprises. The Austrian “Commercial Code” (Handelsgesetzbuch, HGB) has thus been renamed the “Business Enterprise Code” (Unternehmensgesetzbuch, UGB). Moreover, the reform amended several provisions of contract law in order to harmonise commercial law, general civil law and consumer law. The following article reports on this development.
