Catalan language and contracting in catalan private law Authors Lídia Arnau Raventós DOI: 10.2436/20.3004.02.192 Keywords: Catalan language, linguistic right, advertising, conformity. Abstract The comment places the Catalan language in the field of private law and, specifically, in that of the Catalan civil contract law. On the one hand, the legal nature of rules that either grant consumers certain linguistic rights or impose equally linguistic duties on professionals, is analysed in order to clarify whether these rules allow private legal claims. On the other hand, the competence of the catalan legislator is claimed to incorporate European directives and to impose Catalan linguistic requeriments in those cases in which the European law does not require requeriments in one of the official languages of the European Union. Lastly, we study if the use of Catalan becomes a requirement for the conformity of the service with the contract, especially in those cases in which the Catalan is used as an advertising claim.
