This book was released on 2009-04-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR) is just published. Now the creation of the final Common Frame of Reference (CFR) is one of the most important issues in the field of European Private Law. The volume discusses the key question as to what extent the CFR can and should reflect existing EC Contract Law, and to what extent the DCFR has already incorporated the acquis communautaire. The contributions to this volume try to provide answers to this question by analyzing different controversial areas such as the conclusion and content of the contract (pre-contractual duties, non-discrimination or withdrawal), non-performance, remedies, damages and the relation to International Private Law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'obligation de sécurité est l'objet d'une attention soutenue en doctrine et d'une application usuelle en jurisprudence. Toutefois, malgré une consécration presque centenaire, de nombreuses interrogations subsistent. En particulier, les conditions d'existence de cette obligation demeurent incertaines et son utilité est contestée. Faut-il alors décontractualiser cette obligation et soumettre l'ensemble du contentieux relatif à la réparation des dommages corporels aux seules règles de la responsabilité délictuelle ou quasi-délictuelle ? Cette entreprise ne risque-t-elle pas alors d'entraîner à terme un recul des droits de la victime contractante ? Le domaine de cette obligation doit manifestement être réduit. L'existence de l'obligation de sécurité ne se justifie que dans les contrats qui exposent le cocontractant à un risque spécifique lié à la prestation objet de l'obligation principale. Accessoirement, certaines lois spéciales imposent aussi une semblable obligation dans le contrat de travail et le contrat conclu avec une agence de voyage. Afin de mieux la distinguer du devoir de ne pas nuire à autrui, cette obligation devrait d'ailleurs être entendue plus strictement, soit comme une obligation de moyens renforcée, soit comme une obligation de résultat. Les conditions particulières d'existence de cette obligation exercent une influence décisive sur ses traits essentiels. Elle est un rapport contractuel d'origine légale, accessoire à une obligation principale. De plus, seuls les débiteurs professionnels sont en principe tenus d'une telle obligation. Enfin, l'utilité de cette obligation est en général réduite à une simple fonction indemnitaire. L'intérêt du processus de contractualisation de la sécurité est toutefois plus large et intègre une prévention des dommages corporels au sein du contrat. Cette obligation astreint avant tout le débiteur à faire de la sécurité un objectif contractuel avant de constituer un fait générateur de responsabilité contractuelle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette thèse a pour thème " sûreté du contrat ou sécurité du contractant : la sanction des clauses abusives ". La première partie est consacrée à la question de la stabilité du contrat et de l'équilibre des rapports contractuels. Elle tente d'abord de cerner la question de la stabilité du contrat, commençant par l'aspect général du principe de la lutte contre les clauses abusives et la nécessité de créer de nouvelles règles afin de protéger le contractant le plus faible et de sauvegarder le contrat. Au XXIe siècle, les structures classiques du droit des contractants n'arrivent plus à assurer ces deux impératifs la sûreté et la sécurité. Ainsi un critère législatif, complété par un critère jurisprudentiel, cherche à déterminer les clauses qui peuvent être sanctionnées, mettant ainsi fin aux tentatives de banalisation qu'a subi le mécanisme de la lutte contre les clauses abusives. Ce travail a ensuite pour objet le contenu de cette protection composé d'un mécanisme de lutte contre les clauses abusives et des institutions réalisant cette lutte, marqué par l'ascension du juge. La deuxième partie de l'étude est consacrée aux avancées réelles de la loi n° 95-96 du 01er février 1995, car son champ d'application matériel comme son champ d'application personnel souffrent d'incertitude et d'imprécision, qui sont dues à l'indétermination de son support matériel et aux caractères imprécis des clauses incriminées, pour le premier, à l'ambiguïté des textes de la loi du 1er février 1995 et à une jurisprudence incertaine à propos des personnes concernées, pour le deuxième. Elle analyse également les nouveaux domaines ou la loi de 1995 peut intervenir, par exemple le contrat de service afin d'exploiter au maximum les potentielles de cette loi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reactivation of the Security Council at the beginning of the last decade has resulted, since the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq on August 2, l990, in increasing use of its powers under Chapter VII of the Charter and the adoption of measures against a number of state and non-state entities. The notion of a threat to the peace has now come to encompass violations of fundamental norms of international law such as human rights and humanitarian law, and the wide-ranging measures adopted have included such innovations as the establishment of the UN Compensation Commission or that of the two international criminal tribunals for Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. These measures have not only infringed on the legal rights of the targeted state (sometimes with irreversible effects where they have remained in force over a long period of time) and its population, but also on those of implementing states and of private rights within these states. The current debate over the legitimacy and long-term effects of economic sanctions on states and their populations makes it imperative to re-evaluate this instrument and the broader peace maintenance function of the Security Council in the light of current community concerns. Part One of this book addresses the theoretical issues by focussing on: 1) The place of sanctions in the international legal system; 2) the limits to the powers of the Security Council and the question of accountability; and 3) an assessment of the alternatives to collective economic sanctions. Part Two looks at the relationship between sanctions and humanitarian issues, examining the relationship between: 1) Sanctions and human rights law; 2) sanctions, humanitarian issues and mandates; and 3) sanctions and humanitarian law. Part Three focuses on implementation by states of Security Council sanctions resolutions by examining: 1) Sanctions and private rights; and 2) special problems for implementing states. Part Four addresses the future in reassessing the place and ethics of sanctions in an international legal system which is giving increased importance to the individual. This work is based on papers presented at a colloquium of the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva.

Download or read book General Clauses and Standards in European Contract Law written by Stefan Grundmann and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General clauses or standards (Generalklauseln, clauses generales) are legal rules which are not precisely formulated, terms and concepts which in fact do not even have a clear core. They are often applied in varying degrees in various legal systems to a rather wide range of contract cases when certain issues arise issues such as abuse of rights, unfairness, good faith, fairness of duty or loyalty or honesty, duty of care, and other such contract terms not lending themselves readily to clear or permanent definition. Here for the first time is a systematic discussion of this kind of rule in the evolving and dynamic context of European contract law. A collection of twelve insightful essays by leading European law authorities, the book is based on a conference organized jointly by the Society of European Contract Law (SECOLA) and l'association Henri Capitant, held in the `grande salle' of the French Supreme Court in Paris in 2005. The subject is approached along three distinct but interconnected avenues: comparative contract law, in which the different models to be found among Member States particularly the Germanic, French, and English common law systems are explored with an eye to differences and common ground;EC contract law, in which the general clause approach has tended to focus on labour law and consumer law, and in which the European Court of Justice more and more assumes the final say; andthe European codification dimension, in which a potential instrument on the European level would compete with national laws and develop closely with them. The authors demonstrate that a focus on general clauses in contract law, embracing as it does a wide range of types of contracts, helps enormously with the necessary integration of legal scholarship and economic approaches, and of legal science and legal practice in the field. Numerous analytic references to relevant cases and EC Directives give a practical impetus to the far-reaching but immediately applicable theory presented in this important book. As European contract law continues to develop rapidly, this seminal contribution is sure to increase in value and usefulness.

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.

Download or read book The World of Maritime and Commercial Law written by C Mitchell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of 20 essays contains recent work by legal scholars, practitioners and judges, all internationally renowned for their expertise in the fields of maritime and commercial law. For maritime lawyers, the book contains absorbing and important studies of the law governing maritime collisions, carriage of goods by sea (examining the meaning of 'actual carriage' in the Hamburg Rules, and the complex web of rules that governs multimodal carriage), and marine insurance (discussing the history of the doctrine of utmost good faith, and jurisdiction clauses in cargo policies). In the area of private international law, there are chapters on the choice of law rules affecting the ownership of ships, and on recent cases where conflict of laws issues have been decided by the Privy Council. For generalist commercial lawyers, there is a wealth of scholarship on the Sale of Goods Act 1979, its provisions and scope, and on the rules of contractual interpretation, their history, content and application in commercial settings. In addition, there are chapters on negotiating damages for breach of contract, illegality, tracing misapplied funds, the application of private law rules to disputes about cryptocurrencies and developments in the law of directors' duties. Taken as a whole, the essays in this collection stand out for their breadth of scholarship, analytical power, depth of understanding, and penetrating insights even into the knottiest problems of maritime and commercial law. They are essential reading for every maritime and commercial lawyer and a fitting tribute to a scholar who has led the way in both fields for many decades.
