Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the formation of the French Civil Code, examining both its public and private effects. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, French private law was very different in the various parts of the country. In northern and central France, there were as many as sixty-five general customs in force, as well as over three hundred local customs, often differing from them in detail. As the feeling of nationhood grew, so did the idea of replacing the existing variety of laws by a single private law, possibly a code, common to all of France. 'A single body of law, called the Code Civil is to be created' proclaimed the Law of 21 March 1804, which was created by the amalgamation of thirty-six texts. The French Civil Code analyzes the Code using contemporary and modern sources, including the beautiful and concise extract from H.A.L. Fisher's History of Europe which gives an English historian's appraisal of Napoleon's contribution to the Code Civil. This text will appeal to all students of and those with an interest in international law.

Download or read book Principles of French Law written by John Bell and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-03-27 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles of French Law offers a comprehensive introduction to French law and the French legal system in terms which a common lawyer can understand. The authors give an explanation of the institutions, rules and techniques that characterize the major branches of French law. The chapters provide the reader with a clear sense of the questions that French lawyers see as important and how they would answer them. In the ten years since the publication of the first edition, French law has changed in significant ways. European Union law and the European Convention on Human Rights have had a significant impact, especially on procedural law and family law. There has been a new Commercial Code, major legislation on divorce, succession and criminal law, as well as significant developments in the Constitution. In addition, there have been considerable developments in the case-law and a much discussed proposal for reform of major areas of the law of obligations. The chapters present not only the rules of law, but, where appropriate, the principles and values underlying the system. Considerable use is made of juristic literature and of examples from French case law. The book is designed for students studying French law at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, and as preliminary reading for students about to study in France. It will also serve as an initial point of reference for scholars embarking on a study of French law.

In northern and central France there were as many as 65 general customs in force, as well as over 300 local customs, often differing from them in detail. As the feeling of nationhood grew, so did the idea of replacing the existing variety of laws by a single private law, possibly a code, common to all of France. "A single body of law, called the Code Civil is to be created." So proclaimed the law of 21 March 1804 (30 Ventse year XII). It was to be created by the amalgamation of 36 texts recently adopted. This was the culmination of an enterprise started many years previously. The idea of unifying French private law, conceived under Louis XI, had been frequently repeated since then, but under the ancien regime lawyers never got beyond sketching and planning. Proper drafts of a civil code were put to assembly after assembly under the Revolution, but in ten years none was ever adopted. This book charts the formation of the French Civil Code, examining both the public and private effects. It analyses the Code using contemporary and modern sources, including a very beautiful and concise extract from H. A. L. Fisher's "History of Europe" which gives an English historian's appraisal of Napoleon's contribution to the Code Civil.

Download or read book The French Law of Contract written by Barry Nicholas and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1992 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written primarily for lawyers and law students in the Common law world, this book assumes no prior knowledge of French law. Beginning with an introductory account of the characteristics of French law and the French legal system, it looks at the principles of the French law of contract from the standpoint of a Common lawyer familiar with the problems with which the law of contract has to deal in a modern Western society. Its arrangement follows that of the French law, but the French concepts and rules are set out in relation to their counterparts in the Common law. Consideration is given to recent developments in matters such as the obligation to disclose information, third party rights in 'groups of contracts', unfair contract terms, and the seller's liability for latent defects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Civil Code: With the Various Amendments Thereto, as in Force on March 15, 1895 MY object in translating the Civil Code of France into English is to place at the disposal of the members of the Legal Profession in English-speak ing countries, a work enabling them to find out and establish what the French law is. For that purpose I have compared my translation with the original records, and have sworn to its correctness. Supplements will hereafter appear, containing the new amendments to the Code. Foreign Courts when called upon to decide questions of French law have sometimes rendered decisions not in accordance with the laws of that country. This book, it is to be hoped, may be found useful in preventing the recurrence of such cases. In remembering the achievements of France's great Conqueror, the Code is not among the works which have contributed the least to his fame, and its effects will be more lasting than those of his great battles. When presiding over the meetings at which the Articles of the Code were discussed, Napoleon, although not a jurist, displayed such quickness of perception and soundness of views as to astonish those present.
