Interpreting The Conditions For Imprévision: The Goals Of The Reform Projects As A Decisive Tool For French And Belgian Courts, Luigi Montefusco
Interpreting The Conditions For Imprévision: The Goals Of The Reform Projects As A Decisive Tool For French And Belgian Courts, Luigi Montefusco
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The codification of the doctrine of imprévision in France and its codification attempt in Belgium is a significant turning point given the historical resistance in both countries towards it. Nevertheless, the fact that the French and Belgian civil codes had remained silent on the issue for more than 200 years poses problems of interpretation, in particular, with the regard to requirements to be met in or-der to trigger imprévision as set forth by new Article 1195 of the French Civil Code and Draft Article 5.77 of Belgian legislative pro-posal No. 3709/1 of April 3, 2019. In the absence of a …
The Birth Mother’S Assent To Adoption And The Limitation Of Autonomy Of Women’S Will In Spanish Law: A Proposal De Lege Ferenda, María Victoria Mayor Del Hoyo
The Birth Mother’S Assent To Adoption And The Limitation Of Autonomy Of Women’S Will In Spanish Law: A Proposal De Lege Ferenda, María Victoria Mayor Del Hoyo
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Even though in Spanish law the act establishing the adoption is judicial in nature, declarations of will have special relevance in the process, since they are a necessary precondition for the adoption. This work focuses on the assent of the biological mother, who is affected by and has an interest in the adoption process, even if not a party to it herself. In this work, the foundation, configuration, and characteristics of this assent are studied, as well as the form of her declaration of will, and the ability of the mother to offer it. Special attention is paid to the …

The Encyclopedist Code: Ancien Droit Legal Encyclopedias And Their Verbatim Influence On The Louisiana Digest Of 1808, Seth S. Brostoff
The Encyclopedist Code: Ancien Droit Legal Encyclopedias And Their Verbatim Influence On The Louisiana Digest Of 1808, Seth S. Brostoff
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This Article identifies nearly one hundred articles and provisions in Louisiana’s first civil code, the Digest of 1808, which were copied verbatim or almost verbatim (that is, literally or almost literally) from three French legal encyclopedias popular during the Ancien Régime: Lerasle’s Encyclopédie méthodique: Jurisprudence (8 vols., 1782–89), Jean-Baptiste Denisart’s Collection de décisions nouvelles (1st ed., 6 vols., 1754–56), and Joseph-Nicolas Guyot’s Répertoire de jurisprudence (2d ed., 17 vols., 1784–85). As the Appendix indicates, verbatim and almost verbatim extracts from Lerasle, Denisart, and Guyot constitute approximately five per cent of the Digest’s source material. This Article therefore serves as a …

The European Court Of Justice At Work: Comparative Law On Stage And Behind The Scenes, Michele Graziadei
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has often been hailed as an engine of European integration. Entrusted with the task of securing the uniform interpretation of the law of the European Union—among other functions—the ECJ makes use of comparative law for a variety of purposes. The very composition of the Court and its peculiar linguistic regime make the Court a major comparative law laboratory. Under the Treaties, the Court is explicitly authorised to resort to comparative law as a method of judicial interpretation with regard to certain aspects of European law. But comparative law is an essential tool for the …
Medical Civil Liability Without Deterrence: Preliminary Remarks For Future Research, Emiliano Marchisio
Medical Civil Liability Without Deterrence: Preliminary Remarks For Future Research, Emiliano Marchisio
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The traditional deterrence-based paradigm of civil liability may be understood as indirect market regulation, as the risk of incurring liability for damages provides an incentive to invest in safety. Such an approach, however, has proven to be inappropriate in medical civil liability. Extensive literature shows that the increase in the asymmetric protection of patients by extending medical civil liability beyond a certain limit does not improve safety; instead, that strategy determines the adoption of “defensive” techniques (the so-called “defensive medicine”). Paradoxically, this approach leads to a reduction in market efficiency and overall patient safety. The traditional paradigm of medical civil …

A Cacophony Of Speech, Law, And Persona: Battling Against The Vortex Of #Metoo In France And The U.S., Anne Wagner, Sarah Marusek
A Cacophony Of Speech, Law, And Persona: Battling Against The Vortex Of #Metoo In France And The U.S., Anne Wagner, Sarah Marusek
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The pervasive proliferation of rumors, through #MeToo and #BalanceTonPorc, communicates meaningful and meaningless-making processes on misconducts both in the French and U.S. con-texts. Such rumors have transformed the online practices by culti-vating both verbal and non-verbal hate speech free and/or free speech. This cacophony of speech, law, and persona has led to a debate relayed on social media platforms, exposing people to a dan-ger zone mostly based as shame, hate, fear, or even destruction, as anonymity and due process no longer prevail.
