ENThe parties quite often conclude the contracts without indication of the price or with ambiguous price. The article analyses doctrinal and practical point of view how the concept of open price have been changed from the adoption of the CISG till the presentation of the Proposal for a Regulation on a Common European Sales Law and what attitude prevail in the Lithuanian cact law and court practice. Open price contracts were analysed by examining the rules related to the definition of an offer and contract, the aspects of the contract content and the determination of price. The discussions on issue of the relation between Art. 14 and 55 of the CISG and its compatibility were elaborated in the process of the adoption and implementation of the CISG. Two approaches – narrow and broad –, have diverged by interpreting the relation between Art. 14 and 55 of the CISG. The narrow interpretation of the CISG suggests that if the price is not sufficient definite, the contract could be regarded as concluded missing the essential element of the agreement and the imperative element of the offer The broad interpretation of the CISG relies on the view that the price determination rules will be applied in case of open price contract. The contract can not be recognized as not concluded only for the reason that parties intending to be bound by the contractual relationship have not agreed on the price. The „soft law“ instruments and the Proposal for a Regulation on a Common European Sales Law adopted after the CISG does not establish the price as one of the criteria of the offer and the contract. UNIDROIT Contract Law Principles were transposed into Lithuanian Civil Code, therefore the price is not the essentialia negotii in the most contracts, including the purchase of goods and purchase of shares agreements.If the price is not indicated in the contract however the parties have intention to be bound by the contract, the contract will be considered as concluded and the price determination rules will be applied.
