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.
