Splošne predpogodbene dolžnosti informiranja: pravna podlaga vzpostavitve in možne sankcije za njihovo kršitev

Pre-contractual information duties obliging the contracting party to disclose information relevant for formation of a contract have not been in the spotlight of the Slovenian legal theory yet. Though in Slovenia the institute of general pre-contractual information duties has been recognized as an institute originating from the principle of good faith, it has yet not become fully used and accepted in the legal practice. The reason for such situation is that the cases which are substantially placed in the scope of resolving the allocation of information burden between parties are not solved through the institute of pre-contractual information duties, unless these duties are explicitly determined by law. To ensure the opportunity for the improvement of the institute and to be more frequently and correctly used in legal practice, this article focuses on additional explanation and justification of theoretical grounds on which the use of the institute and its existence is built on: the principle of good faith combined with the institute of mistake, deception and usury. Next to that, it is also trying to discover whether and what kind of possibilities for expanding the pre-contractual liability exist. Predpogodbene dolžnosti informiranja, ki stranko zavezujejo, da svojemu bodočemu sopogodbeniku razkrije dejstva, pomembna za sklenitev pravnega posla, v slovenskem prostoru še niso bile deležne večje pozornosti pravne teorije. Kljub siceršnjemu priznavanju splošnih predpogodbenih dolžnosti informiranja v Sloveniji kot izraza načela vestnosti in poštenja institut v praksi še ni povsem zaživel, saj se primeri, ki sicer vsebinsko spadajo pod problematiko razporeditve informacijskega bremena med strankama, ne rešujejo preko instituta predpogodbenih dolžnosti informiranja, če dolžnosti informiranja niso izrecno zakonsko določene. Za zagotovitev možnosti, da institut bolje zaživi tudi v praksi, se prispevek osredinja na dodatno utemeljitev teoretičnih podlag za njegovo uporabo, to je načelo vestnosti in poštenja v kombinaciji z instituti zmote, prevare in oderuške pogodbe, raziskuje pa tudi možnosti za razširitev predpogodbene odškodninske odgovornosti.
