Procedural agreements on the fundamental right to contest
undamental right to contest. Procedural agreements. Atypical tradingclause. Possibility of negotiating fundamental rights. Limits and Legal Regime

Having establishedthe possibility of procedural negotiation of the fundamental right to the adversary, it isimperative to establish objective limits for the negotiation and, finally, to explain what wouldbe the legal regime applicable to the procedural business when signed by the parties andinvoked in a specific case
