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.

Book excerpt: Originally published: New York: New York University Press, 1956. x, 438 pp. This book consists of papers delivered by participants in the conference sponsored by the New York University Institute of Comparative Law to honor the 150th anniversary of the French Civil Code, which was the largest public celebration of the event in the legal world. The papers deal with the influence of the Code upon common-law countries in their efforts to manage statute and case law and gives examples of modern attempts at restatement of the law and uniform state laws as examples of the effect of the Code's coherence and logic. The papers were given by notable legal scholars such as Benjamin Akzin, Ren Cassin, C.J. Friedrich, Arthur von Mehren, Roscoe Pound, Thibadeau Rinfret, Max Rheinstein, Angelo Piero Sereni, Jack Bernard Tate and Arthur T. Vanderbilt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 16th to the 18th centuries French private law was very different in the various parts of the country. 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 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 548 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 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.

Download or read book The Scope and Structure of Civil Codes written by Julio César Rivera and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed analysis of the content and configuration of civil codes in diverse jurisdictions also examines their relationship with some branches of private law as: family law, commercial law, consumer law and private international law. It analyzes the codification, decodification and recodification processes illuminating the dialogue between current codes – and private law legislation in general – with Constitutions and International Conventions. The commentary elucidates the changing requirements of civil law as it shifted from an early protection of patrimony to a support for commercial and contractual law. It also explains the varying trajectories of civil law, which in some jurisdictions was merged with religious legal tenets in its codification of familial relations, while in others it was fused with commercial law or, indeed, codified from scratch as a discrete legal corpus. Elsewhere, the volume provides material on differing approaches to consumer law, where relevant legislation may be scattered across numerous statutes, and also on private international law, a topic of increasing relevance in a world where business corporations have interests in multiple jurisdictions (and often play one off against another). The volume features invited contributions from leading scholars in the field of private law brought together for an in depth analysis of the current regulatory attitude in this field of the law in jurisdictions with diverse legal systems and traditions. In current times we are witnessing the adoption of diverging regulatory solutions. Through the analysis of the past and present of private law regulation, the volume unveils the underlying trends and relevance of the codification method across the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Civil Code: As Amended Up to 1906 The study of French law is most desirable for many reasons. Our close commercial relations with France make it almost. Essential that the large number of persons connected with France either as British officials or mer chants trading with that country, or who have entered into yet more intimate relations with French citizens, should be able to obtain a knowledge of the Code. This is generally impossible unless it is available in an English form, with notes specially suited to the English mind. The Code, moreover, is the model on which the laws of many Continental nations were formed, and foreign institutions are often incomprehensible unless the foreign law is understood. French law obtains largely, moreover, in Egypt. Another advantage of studying French law is that it also enables one to understand better the institutions and ideas of those British citizens of French origin who occupy so important a position in Canada, Mauritius and elsewhere.
