Life

Lando comes from a liberal family. His father Zelman Lando was the son of a wealthy Jewish industrialist from Warsaw. Lando's father was surprised by the outbreak of war as a student in Frankfurt am Main and interned in 1914 as a Russian citizen. After fleeing to Sweden, his father settled in Denmark in 1915 and in 1925 became an economics lecturer at the Copenhagen Business School .

Ole Lando was born in 1922. In 1940 he began studying law at the University of Copenhagen . He heard, among others, Alf Ross . During the war he was a sympathizer of the communists , seeing them "as the true friends of the poor". On October 9, 1943, he and his father fled to Sweden during the night-and-fog operation of the Danish resistance to rescue the Danish Jews . In Sweden he continued his studies with the usual Manuduktøren . In 1944 he became a soldier in the Danish Brigade (Den Danske Brigade / Danforce). Two years after his release, he graduated in 1947 and joined the Danish Ministry of Justice. In 1951 he made a study trip to Paris and Oxford, where he met Martin Wolff .

In 1952 he began teaching at the Copenhagen Business School as a lecturer in private international law . 1954/55 he was district judge in Frederikssund . In 1955 he was a US government scholar at the University of Michigan . There he met Ulrich Drobnig , with whom he has had a close friendship ever since. Henri Batiffol and Ernst Rabel were role models in his studies of private international law . The American lawyers David F. Cavers and Brainerd Currie and their school of thought of “governmental interest analysis” influenced him.

After receiving his doctorate in 1963, he finally moved from the Ministry of Justice to the Copenhagen School of Commerce and has been a professor there ever since. In 1973 he became chairman of the Danish Association for European Law and remained so until 1995. He commented on the EC treaties with Ole Due . He worked for UNCTAD in the 1970s . Ole Lando worked in and for the International Chamber of Commerce .

Became internationally known through an initiative: In 1976, for example, he started the Commission on European Contract Law (CECL), which is often called the Lando Commission after him . With the help of Claus Ehlermann , Director General of the Legal Service of the Commission , whom he knew from his time in Ann Arbor , it was possible to raise EU funds for this working group, and so in 1982 the CECL was able to tackle the PECL . In 1979 he became a member of the UNIDROIT Principles for International Trade Contracts Working Group , which "dealt with almost the same subject as the PECL". In his view, " CISG , PECL and UNIDROIT justify an emerging ius commune for a future world law of contract". In 1999 he became a member of the successor organization to the CECL, the Study Group on a European Civil Code .
