This article examines the classical doctrine of privity of contract in the context of financial leasing transactions. According to the doctrine of privity, rights and duties originating from a certain contract shall only affect the parties to that contract. Despite the fact that the doctrine still is an undisputable main rule in Finnish law, exceptions to it are necessary. This is partly due to the fact that modern forms of exchange, finance and contractual practice require flexibility. The situation may be that a third party, who is formally not a party to a contract, is de facto comparable to a contractual party. (Edilex-toimitus)
