During the timespan of over 150 years that has passed since the adoption of the old Romanian Civil Code (in force until October 1, 2011), a code influenced by the French Civil Code, which was passed almost 220 years ago, there have been large mutations at economic level that have had profound consequences in the social structure. In the two studies, presented by me during the conferences organized under the coordination of Professor Elena-Ana Iancu, I tried to analyze the measures introduced by the new Romanian Civil Code for the protection of the contractual part located in a position of economic inferiority. While in the first study, I managed to analyze only the injury, the hardship, and the reduction of the criminal clause, in this second paper I analyzed most of the other means considered by the new Civil Code for the protection of subjects of economic lower law
