The Code Napoléon Rewritten: French Contract Law after the 2016 Reforms
The
provisions of the French Civil Code governing the law of obligations
have remained largely unchanged since 1804 and have served as the model
for civil codes across the world. In 2016, the French Government
effected major reforms of the provisions on the law of contract, the
general regime of obligations and proof of obligations. This work
explores in detail the most interesting new provisions on French
contract law in a series of essays by French lawyers and comparative
lawyers working on French law and other civil law systems. It will make
these fundamental reforms accessible to an English-speaking audience.
