The immediate impetus for writing this paper is the analysis, critical review, and commentary on the recently published scientific monograph on contract non-performance, contractual liability, and compensation of damages, which significantly contributes to the Serbian legal thought in the field of obligational law. This work, co-authored by Katarina Jovičić and Slobodan Vukadinović, has been publicly available in open access since the end of 2023, published by the Institute for Comparative Law. The issues raised in this monograph are examined and first related to current works in domestic law. Taking a further step, the identified issues are placed in the context of global trends in contractual tort law, as well as contemporary national tendencies in legislations that not only have a significant influence worldwide but, above all, have traditionally impacted the development of scientific thought in this field in the Republic of Serbia. The systematics of the monograph, scientific methods, and its didactic and scientific contribution to further development through critical review, especially in the context of the long-announced preparation of the Civil Code of the Republic of Serbia, are discussed.Neposredan povod za pisanje ovog rada je analiza, kritički osvrt i komentarisanje nedavno objavljene naučne monografije o neizvršenju ugovora, ugovornoj odgovornosti i naknadi štete, kojom je značajno dopunjena srpska pravnička misao u oblasti obligacionog prava. Reč je o delu koautora Katarine Jovičić i Slobodana Vukadinovića koje je u otvorenom pristupu dostupno javnosti od kraja 2023. godine u izdanju Instituta za uporedno pravo. Pitanja otvorena u toj monografiji preispituju se i najpre dovode u vezu sa aktuelnim radovima u domaćem pravu. Idući korak dalje, uočena pitanja su stavljena u kontekst globalnih tokova u ugovornom odštetnom pravu, kao i savremenih nacionalnih tendencija u zakonodavstvima koja vrše ne samo veliki uticaj u svetu već pre svega koja su tradicionalno uticala i na razvoj naučne misli u ovoj oblasti u Republici Srbiji. U radu se razmatraju sistematika predmetne monografije, naučne metode i didaktički i naučni doprinos daljem razvoju kroz kritičko preispitivanje, naročito u kontekstu dugo najavljivane pripreme Građanskog zakonika Republike Srbije
