Abstract
In France, the attention of the ‘doctrine’ is mainly focused on the ‘jurisprudence’ (case-law). Its main challenge has been to apply the 1804 Civil Code, which was enacted with a focus on contracts for the instantaneous exchanges of goods or services, to the growing number of long-term contracts, especially commercial contracts. But the actual importance of court decisions has thus probably been exaggerated, as, in fact, the legislation provides some most useful tools to guarantee, for instance, the fairness of the exchange.
