Download or read book French Civil Liability in Comparative Perspective written by Jean-Sébastien Borghetti and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-26 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French law of torts or of extra-contractual liability is widely seen as exceptional. For long it was based on a mere five articles of the Civil Code of 1804, but on this foundation the courts and legal scholars have constructed liabilities for fault and strict liability of an extraordinary breadth and significance. While the rest of the general law of obligations (including contract) in the Civil Code was reformed in 2016 by executive ordonnance, this area was left aside, being the subject in 2017 of a proposal by the French Government for the legislative reform of the law of civil liability, a new legislative category to include both contractual and extra-contractual liability. This work considers important aspects of this developing area of French law in a series of essays by French lawyers and comparative lawyers working in French law and other civil law systems. In doing so, it provides insight into the doctrinal thinking and judgments of French lawyers as well as the possible directions in which this area of the law may be developed in the future.

Download or read book Reforming the French Law of Obligations written by John Cartwright and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04-17 with total page 950 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2005 Avant-projet de réforme du droit des obligations et de la prescription, also dubbed the Avant-projet Catala, suggests the most far-reaching reform of the French Civil code since it came into force in 1804. It reviews central aspects of contract law, the law of delict and the law of unjustified enrichment. There is currently a very lively debate in France as to the merits or the demerits of both the particular draft provisions and the general idea of recodification as such. This volume is the first publication to introduce the reform proposals to an English speaking audience. It contains the official English translation of the text, and distinguished private lawyers from both England and France analyse and assess particularly interesting aspects of the substantive draft provisions in a comparative perspective. Topics covered include negotiation and renegotiation of contracts, la cause, the enforcement of contractual obligations, termination of contract and its consequences, the effects of contracts on third parties, the definition of la faute, the quantification of damages, and the law of prescription. The volume also contains an overall assessment of the draft provisions by one of the most senior French judges who chaired the Working Party on the Avant-projet, established by the French Supreme Court, the Cour de cassation. The book is indispensable for comparative private lawyers and lawyers with a particular interest in French law. It is also of use to all private lawyers (both academics and practitioners) looking for information on recent international and European trends in contract and tort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The imposition of strict liability in tort law is controversial, and its theoretical foundations are the object of vigorous debate. Why do or should we impose strict liability on employers for the torts committed by their employees, or on a person for the harm caused by their children, animals, activities, or things? In responding to this type of questions, legal actors rely on a wide variety of justifications. Justifying Strict Liability explores, in a comparative perspective, the most significant arguments that are put forward to justify the imposition of strict liability in four legal systems, two common law, England and the United States, and two civil law, France and Italy. These justifications include: risk, accident avoidance, the 'deep pockets' argument, loss-spreading, victim protection, reduction in administrative costs, and individual responsibility. By looking at how these arguments are used across the four legal systems, this book considers a variety of patterns which characterise the reasoning on strict liability. The book also assesses the justificatory weight of the arguments, showing that these can assume varying significance in the four jurisdictions and that such variations reflect different views as to the values and goals which inspire strict liability and tort law more generally. Overall, the book seeks to improve our understanding of strict liability, to shed light on the justifications for its imposition, and to enhance our understanding of the different tort cultures featuring in the four legal systems studied.

Download or read book Tort Law in France written by Jonas Knetsch and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides ready access to how the legal dimension of prevention against harm and loss allocation is treated in France. This traditional branch of law not only tackles questions which concern every lawyer, whatever his legal expertise, but also concerns each person’s most fundamental rights on a worldwide scale. Following a general introduction that probes the distinction between tort and crime and the relationship between tort and contract, the monograph describes how the concepts of fault and unlawfulness, and of duty of care and negligence, are dealt with in both the legislature and the courts. The book then proceeds to cover specific cases of liability, such as professional liability, liability of public bodies, abuse of rights, injury to reputation and privacy, vicarious liability, liability of parents and teachers, liability for handicapped persons, product liability, environmental liability, and liability connected with road and traffic accidents. Principles of causation, grounds of justification, limitations on recovery, assessment of damages and compensation, and the role of private insurance and social security are all closely considered. The work gives an extensive picture of the current state of law and a first indication on the future French tort law, based on the last Government proposal for a comprehensive reform of the civil liability rules. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for lawyers in France. Academics and researchers will also welcome this very useful guide, and will appreciate its value not only as a contribution to comparative law but also as a stimulus to harmonization of the rules on tort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amorcé par l’arrêt Köbler, un mouvement jurisprudentiel récent a conduit la Cour de justice à concevoir divers mécanismes qui permettent aux justiciables de sanctionner, directement ou indirectement, une juridiction nationale qui a méconnu son obligation de renvoi préjudiciel. C’est ainsi que les justiciables pourront solliciter la remise en cause de la chose décidée, voire de la chose jugée ou encore, chercher à engager la responsabilité «judiciaire» de l’État. On pressent pourtant que les solutions, très restrictives, forgées par la Cour de justice sont supplantées par les dispositifs nationaux. Ceux-ci paraissent en effet plus aisés à actionner, voire plus performants, qu’il s’agisse de la violation du droit au juge légal, comme en Allemagne ou en Espagne, ou encore de l’introduction du dispositif législatif suédois. La présentation – sans égal à ce jour – de près de vingt rapports nationaux permettra de mieux apprécier l’effectivité de la protection juridictionnelle dont disposent les justiciables via le renvoi préjudiciel. L’intérêt de cet ouvrage est d’autant plus vif que l’adhésion prochaine de l’Union européenne à la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme se traduira vraisemblablement par une revitalisation des dispositions permettant de sanctionner une violation de l’obligation de renvoi préjudiciel. Cet ouvrage s’adresse principalement aux magistrats et aux avocats, ainsi qu’aux universitaires spécialisés dans l’étude du droit processuel.

Download or read book Essential Cases on Misconduct written by Benedict Winiger and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 1316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The various national European legal systems offer a broad range of responses to the question of what can be regarded as wrongful behaviour or fault. The present work systematically examines these two important prerequisites for tortious liability under the combined heading of ‘misconduct’. Unlike current textbooks, national casebooks and monographs, it builds on the experiences gathered in the national legal systems over the past decades and thereby fills a major gap which still exists today. It thus does what the previous volumes in the ‘Digest of European Tort Law’ series did for other key elements of tort law, namely natural causation and damage. Once again, the publication contains a selection of the most important cases from 28 states across Europe as well as cases handed down by European Union courts; it also highlights cases from earlier periods of legal history. For each case, the facts and the relevant court decision are presented and these are then accompanied by an analytical commentary. In addition, the editors provide comparative analyses of the cases reported and a special report is dedicated to how key decisions would be resolved under model European rules on tort law. The editors believe that the material gathered here may provide guidance for an organic convergence of the national legal systems in Europe. It constitutes the basis of an acquis commun that is infinitely richer (though also much more complex) than the rather bland and abstract concepts contained in national codifications, European legislation and modern model rules.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage expose de façon complète le droit de la responsabilité civile extracontractuelle. Après une présentation du domaine de la responsabilité civile (frontières avec les responsabilités administrative et pénale, distinction entre les responsabilités contractuelle et extracontractuelle) et des réflexions sur l'évolution de ses fondements et de ses fonctions, un premier titre traite des conditions de la responsabilité extracontractuelle. Y sont développées les règles relatives au dommage réparable, aux différents faits générateurs de responsabilité (fait personnel fautif, fait des choses, droit commun et régimes spéciaux relatifs notamment aux accidents de la circulation et aux produits défectueux, fait d'autrui) et au lien de causalité. Dans le second titre, l'ouvrage s'intéresse à la mise en oeuvre de la responsabilité extracontractuelle. L'accent y est mis sur les caractéristiques de l'action en réparation et sur les modalités de la réparation. Ce manuel présente et explicite le droit français de la responsabilité extracontractuelle tel qu'il existe, dans les textes et en jurisprudence, à la fin de l'année 2012. Dans le corps du texte, les règles sont exposées avec un souci constant de pédagogie. Dans les notes, ces règles sont systématiquement illustrées par des arrêts, dont les faits sont relatés et dont les motifs sont reproduits. Ces précisions sont de nature à favoriser la compréhension de la matière par les étudiants et à nourrir le travail des professionnels du droit. L'ouvrage met également en lumière les évolutions que la responsabilité extracontractuelle pourrait prochainement connaître en exposant les propositions de réforme inscrites dans l'avant-projet dit Catala de 2005, la proposition de loi de L. Béteille de 2010 et le projet dit Terré de 2011. Les articles de ces trois projets de réforme sont expliqués au fur et à mesure de l'étude du droit positif et ils sont reproduits dans les notes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing Europeanisation of the law of delict/torts has produced textbooks, casebooks, monographs, and also sets of model rules of a genuinely European character. A major gap still existing today relates to the experiences gathered in the national legal systems over the past decades. The present work attempts to fill this gap for one key element of tort law: the notion of damage. It thus does what the previous volume in the ‘Digest of European Tort Law’ series did for another key element, ie natural causation. Once again, the publication contains a selection of the most important cases decided in 26 states across Europe as well as by the European Court of Justice. For each case the facts and the relevant court decision are presented, and the decision is analysed within the wider context of the development of the respective legal system. In addition, the editors provide comparative analyses of the case law reported in this volume concerning all the specific problems raised under the heading of damage. The publication also looks into how key cases would be resolved under the European model rules drafted in the field of tort law; and it also highlights cases from earlier periods of legal history. The editors believe that the material gathered here may provide guidance for an organic convergence of the national legal systems in Europe. It constitutes the basis of an acquis commun that is infinitely richer (though also much more complex) than the rather bland and abstract concepts contained in national codifications, European legislation, and the modern model rules.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative Tort Law promotes a ‘learning by doing’ approach to comparative tort law and comparative methodology.

Using this material, students are invited to: • solve the proposed scenario according to the laws of several jurisdictions; • compare the approaches and solutions they have identified; • evaluate their respective pros and cons; and • reflect upon the most appropriate approach and solution. This book is essential reading for all students and scholars of comparative tort law and comparative law methodology and is the ideal companion for those wishing to both familiarise themselves with real-world materials and understand the many diverse approaches to modern tort law.

This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a systematic presentation of the most important commercial contracts under Swiss law, i.e., the contract of sale, the contract for work and services, the simple mandate contract, and the commercial agency contract, as well as the licence agreement, the exclusive distribution agreement, and the settlement agreement. The book also contains an in-depth introduction of the Swiss law of obligations, covering topics such as the fundamental principles of contract law, the obligation (as the effect of the contract), the formation of contracts, contract interpretation, validity of contracts, agency, general terms and conditions, and breach of contract. After English law, Swiss law is deemed to be the most attractive law applicable to the parties' contract in an international context. At the same time, English is usually chosen as the language of the arbitration proceedings. This book will therefore be an indispensable resource for all English-speaking lawyers interested in international commercial arbitration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Association Henri Capitant des Amis de la Culture Juridique Française and the Société de législation comparée joined the academic network on European Contract Law in 2005 to work on the elaboration of a "common terminology" and on "guiding principles" as well as to propose a revised version of the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL). The results of this work were sent to the European Commission and have already been published in French. The English translation is now being published by sellier.elp. This work could contribute to the wider European project. The part on the guiding principles could be a component of the CFR, in the form of "black letter" model rules or recitals. The part on terminology is, in itself, useful for the elaboration of the final various linguistic versions of the CFR. It finds its place within the materials which will accompany the model rules. Last but by no means least, the revised version of the PECL should be considered by the European institutions as an alternative set of model rules on contract law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s new open access publishing program for monographs. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Do the United States and France, both post-industrial democracies, differ in their views and laws concerning discrimination? Marie Mercat-Bruns, a Franco-American scholar, examines the differences in how the two countries approach discrimination. Bringing together prominent legal scholars—including Robert Post, Linda Krieger, Martha Minow, Reva Siegel, Susan Sturm, Richard Ford, and others—Mercat-Bruns demonstrates how the two nations have adopted divergent strategies. The United States continues, with mixed success at “colorblind” policies, to deal with issues of diversity in university enrollment, class action sex-discrimination lawsuits, and rampant police violence against African American men and women. In France, the country has banned the full-face veil while making efforts to present itself as a secular republic. Young men and women whose parents and grandparents came from sub-Sahara and North Africa are stuck coping with a society that fails to take into account the barriers to employment and education they face. Discrimination at Work provides an incisive comparative analysis of how the nature of discrimination in both countries has changed, now often hidden, or steeped in deep unconscious bias. While it is rare for employers in both countries to openly discriminate, deep systemic discrimination exists, rooted in structural and environmental causes and the ways each state has dealt with difference in general. Invigorating and incisive, the book examines hot-button issues such as sexual harassment; race, religious and gender discrimination; and equality for LGBT individuals, thereby delivering comparisons meant to further social equality and fundamental human rights across borders.
