法國債法改革：木已成舟

The Reform of French Law of Obligation: Les Jeux Sont Faits

對法國法而言，2016年10月1日是歷史性的日子。自1804年《法國民法典》制定以來，這是首次針對成文債法的根本性改革。本文討論了這次改革的動機和內容。對於合同原因的廢止、情事更變規則的引入、不公平合同條款範圍的擴大以及對强制履行的限制等問題，本文予以特別關注。但是，這次改革幷未實現法國政府所期望的目標。

1 October 2016 was a historic date for French law. For the first time since the introduction of the French Civil Code in 1804, a fundamental reform of the codified law of obligations took place. This contribution discusses both the motives for and the contents of this reform. Particular attention is paid to the abolition of causa, the introduction of a rule on changed circumstances, the broadening of the scope of unfair contracts terms and the restraining of the action for specific performance. It is concluded that the reform does not achieve the aims that the French government has with it.
