Tahar, Chloé. "La négation explétive : des impératifs aux connecteurs : approche diachronique et formelle." Thesis, Université Paris sciences et lettres, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022UPSLE001.
Full textExpletive negation is a non-canonical negation marker whose distribution is limited, across languages, to a certain set of predicates: apprehensive attitude verbs (‘fear’) exceptive (‘unless’) and prospective connectives (‘before’), comparative clauses (‘more/ less than’). In synchrony, it proves difficult to determine (i) which formal property the heterogeneous set of predicates in the scope of which expletive negation occurs have in common and (ii) which kind of syntactic and semantic dependency to the matrix clause predicate it is involved in. This dissertation investigates those questions from a comparative and diachronic perspective

Full textThe objet of this thesis is to create a method that could explain a phenomenon that has been observed by scholars and practitioners of law for decades; which is the extension end the transmission of certain clauses in chain agreements and contractual sets. Through this method one should be able, on one hand, to justify this phenomenon in regard to general principals of law and, on the other hand, to find an explanation for some necessary derogations to the Law.The first step in this thesis was to find answers for some basic questions about groups of contracts that have a direct impact on our subject. We have demonstrated that the fundament of contractual sets relies in the concept of “economy of contract”. Members of chain agreements and contractual sets should be considered as third parties in their mutual relationships. Direct action, which constitutes the dynamic face of chain agreements, could be analyzed as a multilateral set-off. In multiparty contractual sets, the set could not produce its effects in regard to its members unless it could be proven that the concerned member has knowledge of the existence of the other contracts forming the set and of the links between these contracts and his own one. Finally, in two parties’ contractual sets, it’s mandatory to distinguish between a real contractual set, and complex contract which is merely a contract written in several documents. We have proposed a chronological method to establish this distinction, taking into account the number of times the parties have exchanged their consent. After this preliminary part, we have studied precedents regarding the extension and the transmission of some clauses in chain agreements and contractual sets. Jurisdiction clauses and arbitration clauses are by far the most represented, but other clauses such as clauses of disclaimer of warranty, clauses of limited liability, clauses of waiver of action and clauses of non-competition are also sometimes extended or transmitted to other contracts and/or to other members in the group. Through an analysis of these decisions, we have shown that some of them didn’t have enough legal ground. Using those decisions that seemed to us well-founded, we have deduced a number of rules that could be applied for other cases of extension and transmission of clauses in groups of contracts.The rules that we have deduces from the study of the case law, together with the answers that we have provided for some preliminary questions in the first part of the thesis, have lead us to find the method we are looking for in this study.The first step in this method is to recognize the type of group of contracts involved: is it a chain agreement, a multiparty contractual set or a two parties’ set ?If it’s a contractual set between two parties, the first question should be to decide whether it’s really a contractual set, or if it’s a complex contract. If the group of contracts involved is a chain agreement or a multiparty contractual set, then one should wonder whether the doctrine of privity of contract could form an obstacle against the extension or the transmission of the clause. We have demonstrated in this thesis that article 1165 of the Civil Code is only applicable to clauses that contain an obligation. In order to qualify recognize clauses having an “obligational” content, we have proposed five fundamental elements. If the clause contains an obligation it could not be extended to the other members of the chain agreement or the contractual set. Otherwise, the clause is potentially opposable.There are only two exceptions to the doctrine of privity of contract. The first one, in chain agreements is the transmission of rights to singular successors. This exception could be justified by article 1122 of the Civil Code and by the concept of accessoire. The second exception could be seen in contractual sets where the binding authority of the clause could not be respected unless it is extended to certain third parties
Khalfi, Safaa. "Les interventions économiques des collectivités territoriales au Maroc." Thesis, Toulouse 1, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019TOU10051.
Full textSince the launch of the decentralization process in Morocco in 1960, the economic role of Moroccan local and decentralized authorities has evolved and has been strengthened, in accordance with the profound changes that have taken place in Moroccan society and economy. The present thesis aims to analyze the legal framework and the different forms of economic intervention undertaken by local authorities in Morocco. It also aims to identify the reforms that must have affected these interventions and to question the degree to which they meet the challenges of economic development and the growing needs of the population. This work examines the extent to which the Moroccan legislation has really provided a framework adapted to the socio-economic reality of the country. In practice, local economic interventions are subject to the principles of economic freedom that limit the scope of these interventions and regulate them. Moroccan local authorities face a number of constraints that hinder the implementation of economic interventions. The constraints are mainly related to the various rigorous controls and the lack of human and financial resources, a great part of which are still monopolized by the central government. The present research study provides an analysis of these different limits, while trying to present of the effectiveness of local authorities interventions in Morocco
Gruel, Emmanuelle. "L'Indivisibilité du litige à l'épreuve des fors de compétence dérivée : (étude de droit international privé)." Rouen, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002ROUED001.
Full textThe notion of indivisibility of litigation means that cases of multijurisdictional nature run the ski of not being able to simultaneously execute decisions that will have to be pased. The only occasion when this notion can be applied successfully is where there are several defendants. This notion allows them to attribute powers to a certain jurisdiction be it by way a domestic contract or an international contract. Whilst this notion is never retained in third party proceedings, it is ineffective where the defendant invokes an arbitration clause. A study of the notion shows that it is a result of opportunity and not of public order. The emphasis on the litigation must therefore be dealt with by domestic legislation. The indivisibility of litigation should be left to the internation law because it intervenes with the interests of the intrantional trade
Obbed, Khair Al Deen Kadhim. "Les effets de l'Internet sur les règles de conflit de compétence internationale : comparaison entre les droits irakien, français et américain." Thesis, Toulon, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016TOUL0100/document.
Full textIraqi law defines the contract as the union of an offer made by the contracting party with the acceptance of another party and that in order to establish the effects in the contract. The place of the sales contract under Iraqi law is important. When the parties come from different legal orders, their relations are governed by the private international law which determines the court will decide. This thesis research aims to test the ability to apply the international rules of conflict of jurisdiction under Iraqi law on the virtual contract, which is paperless. We shall see, this is not to mean however that the contract is not real, as clearly specifies Iraqi law. It remains attached to the territory. In contrast, the Iraqi law does not recognize its immaterial that meanwhile ignores borders and notions of territoriality. This reality in the texts and practices therefore makes transactions that occur on the Internet are not taken into account by the rules of international jurisdiction conflicts. That is why, we wanted to check and understand the capacity and effectiveness of international jurisdiction conflict rules in the context of Internet disputes. So we will try to find the most appropriate rules, consistent with the nature of the virtual contract, namely its immateriality. This search will reveal developments in litigation of the Internet. Thus, it takes two directions: first at the national legislation, such as French and US law. Second, at the stage of international conventions such as the United Nations Conventions 2005, Hague Convention, the Brussels Convention 1968 and the 2000 and 2012 regulations
Sultan, Nafea Bahr. "Compétence juridictionnelle en matière de litiges internationaux sur les opérations électroniques de banque." Thesis, Clermont-Ferrand 1, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015CLF10475.
Full textThis thesis examines the possibility of applying of relevant French and European rules in the field of litigations arising from electronic banking. The seized court checks its jurisdiction by analyzing disputed subject, identifying the elements of legal relationship, characterizing the parties of the dispute, and establishing that requirements of each rule are met. Once the court exercises its function, it considers the technological factors that may affect the fulfilling way of the legal relationship and dispute over it, as well as taking into account the actual and legal weight of both bank and customer. So that, in order to practice relevant criteria and connecting links in correct, logical and fair way, it is necessary for the court to reconsider it sunderstanding of different aspects of disputed subject. In other words, the court should renew its view on several issues, such as the electronic agreement on jurisdiction, the authority of the bank, the extent of the protection of consumers, the domicile and residence, the concept of bank obligation, the place of signing and fulfilling the contract, the place where the service is provided, as well as the place of occurrence of harmful event and economic damage
Drine, Abdelhakim. "Le choix de compétences dans le contrat de travail international." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LYO22013.
Full textIn international contracts of employment, the parties’ will is significantly enhanced by the choice of competences through the insertion of clauses referring to the competent law or competent judge (private or public). But the eligibility for this voluntary exemption to applicable natural competences requires formal and substantial conditions. Indeed, the disequilibrium that inherently characterizes the employment relationship calls for a strict scrutiny. Assuring the choice made by the weaker thus necessitates protective mechanisms. The intervention of mandatory rules of the place where the employee habitually carries out his work allows the achievement of the aforementioned objective. This is done so by the application of two alternative criteria, in either the law that is the most favourable law to his interests or the law that is most closely connected to the particular situation
Mouralis, Denis. "L' arbitrage face aux procèdures conduites en parallèle." Aix-Marseille 3, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008AIX32044.
Full textThere are two kinds of parallel procedures disturbing arbitration, defined by the parallel claim. If the latter pertains to the arbitration agreement, parallelism is the result of a shortcoming in the performance of this agreement, and can be prevented. If it does not, parallelism is the result of the adequate performance of the arbitration agreement and its relativity. A parallel procedure of the first kind involving the same parties as the arbitral procedure denotes a conflict of jurisdictions, which is sometimes overlooked. Failing to notice this conflict and not resolving it strengthens the development of parallel procedures. A multiparty arbitration agreement may also lead to multiple parallel arbitrations, which could be avoided by easing the carrying out of multiparty arbitral procedures. A parallel procedure of the second kind may be connected to the arbitral procedure. There are several antidotes to such parallelism, including consolidation. Nevertheless, a parallel procedure of the second kind can also restrict the arbitrator’s powers, because this restriction is essential to the accomplishment of the parallel tribunal’s mission. Insolvency or criminal procedures can be bothersome in this way, as well as the application to a court for execution or annulment of a partial award. This peculiar type of parallelism must be put up with, although arbitrators may sometimes ignore it

Full textThe principle of the contract for the carriage of goods is to carry them from place to another. This contract is different from other similar contracts, like the Contract of Tonnage and the Charter Contract. Some International Conventions have created imbalance between the carrier and the shipper. In order to avoid this imbalance, the international legislator has created multiple Conventions. The latest Convection was the "Convention of Contracts for the International Carrying of Goods Wholly or Partly by Sea''. The Rotterdam Rules adopted on December 11. 2008 by The UN General Assembly in New York. The main advantages of the Rotterdam Rules are the world reunification of the law of carrying, the rebalancing of shipper's interests and the carrier's interests, the use of one contract for the whole carrying of goods and the modernization of the law of carrying by sea
Rombauts-Chabrol, Tiphaine. "L'intérêt public local." Thesis, Montpellier 1, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014MON10043.
Full textLocal public interest is a french administrative law notion which appears as a misleading evidence because of the standard case law related to the local authorities « general competence clause ». Its conceptual definition allows to highlight its legal foundation within the local authorities public-law legal personnality. The evolutions of the devolution law, especially in the areas of constitutionnal law, establish a positive framework for its existence. An objective and cautious approach confers to the notion an actual finalistic substance corresponding to the general nature of local authorities to ensure that local communities' needs are actually met. However, the operationnal aspect of this content does not mask the heterogeneity of the local public interest functions. According to a review of the case law, the distinguishing of its functions demonstrates the efficiency of the notion in the scope of the local government functions by constituing a dynamic legal capacity to act, systematised particuliarly in local initiatives in the economic sphere. If local public interest is widely used by administrative courts to supervise decisions deriving from a grant of legislative power, it can neither provide the basis to create, nor to dispute the principle of this legislative power. This ultimate functional limit remains the operational barrier to the local public interest which does not allow to act on the distribution of functions between public authorities so far
Jouffroy, Bruno. "Les prérogatives de puissance publique." Thesis, La Rochelle, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012LAROD030.
Full textAt a time when administrative law has become « common place », it is with a renewed interest that one should to ponder about the specificity of this law, its outrageousness. The prerogatives of the public authorities are at the heart of this issue. Our study will show that the prerogatives of the public authorities are within the scope of the functional notions. However, despite our research, we cannot firmly assert that the prerogatives of the public authorities are a conceptual notion. No general criteria can define these prerogatives as they are diffused and contingent. They do not have an abstractly determined content once for all. Their content changes with the evolution of administrative law. We can, however, try to give a definition as a basis, that is to say a definition which would gather a majority of prerogatives, without including them all. The prerogatives of the public authorities would then be defined, for most of them – concept of hard core – and not in their totality, as outrageous means of action or of protection of the ordinary law, resulting from the public authorities, held by a person in charge of administrative action so as to satisfy the general interest. Yet, this definition as a basis contains some inaccuracies. That is why the prerogatives then are not a conceptual notion in their totality
Busco, Paolo. "The defence of illegality in international investment arbitration : a hybrid model to address criminal conduct by the investor, at the crossroads between the culpability standard of criminal law and the separability doctrine of international commercial arbitration." Thesis, Paris 1, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PA01D087.
Full textThis thesis addresses the question as to how an investment Tribunal is to react if, in the context of a case brought before it for breach of standards of protection of an investment, the respondent argues that the investment for which protection is sought has been secured by resorting to some form of criminality. Against this background, a defence by the Host State that has become increasingly common is the so-called Defence of Illegality. It operates on the basis of the following scheme : a Host State breaches the substantive provision that international law accord to investments made in a foreign Country, for instance by means of expropriating without compensation the investor's investment. In the ensuing dispute before an investment Tribunal, the defendant Host State raises the illegality committed by the investor in the making of the investment as defence against the breach of the substantive provisions on the protection of the investment, of which it is accused, to avoid responsibility. This thesis intends to demonstrate that both legal and policy consideration dictate that the Defence of Illegality in investment arbitration should be strictly curtailed and that a Tribunal should only decline to exercise its jurisdiction in exceptional cases. Rather, Tribunals should look at the entire set of circumstances at the merits stage and perform a proper balancing test between the conduct of the investor and the Host State
Zakhour, Georges-Philippe. "La prééminence du droit international et de l'arbitrage transnational en droit des investissements étrangers." Thesis, Paris 2, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PA020018.
Full textEstablishing a relationship between a State or one of its emanations, on the one hand, and an investor, on the other, international investment law moves beyond the distinction between public law and private law. Given the fact that it resides in-between international law and domestic law, international investment law raises important questions about the governing law and jurisdiction. Conceived as a specific legal order arising from the interaction between the international and the national legal orders, international investment law begets controversy with respect to its interference with the national legal order. This interference, which is not submitted to any hierarchy on the legislative or jurisdictional level, raises serious questions: what would be the applicable law when domestic law and international law are both involved in the same dispute? In a similar manner, what would be the competent court if the international and domestic jurisdictional institutions are both competent according to the rules of their own legal order? The answers to these questions are not obvious and continue to give rise to heated debates. As the issue has not been firmly and definitively resolved, the present study aims to provide an answer by demonstrating the pre-eminence of substantive international law and transnational arbitration to the point of clearly excluding the application of the local law and the competence of domestic judges. This pre-eminence will finally be subject to an in-depth examination
Chaeva, Natalia. "Les exceptions préliminaires dans l'arbitrage sur le fondement des traités de promotion et de protection des investissements." Thesis, Paris 2, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA020073.
Full textIn investment treaty arbitration, preliminary objections can be defined as procedural issues raised by the States in order to contest arbitral tribunal jurisdiction or admissibility of an investor claim. With the rise of investment treaty arbitration, recourse to this litigation technique is getting more and more frequent. However, the submission of preliminary objections by the States, as well as their examination by the arbitral tribunals are frequently confusing. Our research focuses on the core concepts of jurisdiction and admissibility in international litigation in order to reconsider their distinction in a specialised field of international litigation - investment treaty arbitration. On the basis of this distinction, we propose a classification of preliminary issues according to their object. This classification will order the legal regime to be applied to each type of preliminary defence, thus putting some order in the submission of preliminary objections by the States and their examination by the arbitrators, examination which relates to their capacity to exercise their jurisdictional function
Peeroo, Jamsheed. "La protection de l'instance arbitrale par l'injonction anti-suit." Thesis, Paris 1, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA01D038.
Full textThe anti-suit injunction is the only means capable of preventing a party from being involved in proceedings commenced before a domestic court of its choice in bad faith and with the only objective of disrupting arbitration. It is most efficient in the form of an interim measure. In accordance with modern arbitration laws and rules, this jurisdictional tool may be obtained, in this form, from arbitration tribunals, which normally have sufficient imperium to order it, as well as to impose sanctions on any non-compliant party. Although it can be issued before the parties’ rights have been determined, the arbitrator must nevertheless make sure that its legal basis falls under his jurisdiction. Examples of such legal bases are the prima facie potential breaches of one of the obligations contained in the arbitration clause, such as to perform it in good faith, or of a confidentiality clause contained in the main contract. This restraining measure is also available to the French judge, since prohibitory injunctions are hardly unknown to French law. In the field of arbitration, it appears that its use may be permitted under the new Brussels 1 bis Regulation in spite of the West Tankers case and, especially, where it takes the form of an interim measure. When its issuance appears to be legitimate, it is primarily for the court of the seat of an arbitration to decide whether it should be ordered in support of the arbitration proceedings. However, for reasons of efficiency, if the court of another country happens to be in a better position to ensure compliance with the anti-suit injunction, it may also order it

Full textIn times of mandatory provisions becoming more and more prevalent, based on conflict of law, the concept of mandatory enforcement appears to be somehow diluted regarding the liberal solutions found in conflicts of jurisdictions. In positive law, mandatory rules do not prevent the enforcement of a forum clause, no more than they are considered during the enforcement stage of decisions. While the application of these rules before foreign courts and arbitrators is very uncertain and does not raise obstacles to the recognition of foreign judgments or arbitral judgment which overlook them, choice of forum clauses has become an instrument of forum shopping in order to avoid mandatory regulations. This solution paradoxically induces a search for a solution to restore there international imperativity. This result has appeared as a consequence of the principle of separation of conflicts of law and conflicts of jurisdictions. That observation leads to ask questions about the possibility of an exemption to this general principle. Indeed, this encourages to consider the possibility to admit a correlation between forum and jus in order to establish imperative and exclusive competence, based on the applicability of such mandatory rules. This forum legis would require to maintain the litigation in its courts and could ensure their application in international relations. However, unilateralism that governs rules of judicial competence should involve the establishment of a mechanism of different legal systems coordination. Depending on the type of mandatory rules concerned, it could be based on an adapted form of forum non conveniens, on international judicial Co-operation processes, or be inspired by the method of reference to the competent legal order envisaged by P. Picone. The deployment of these solutions could be based on using preponderant state notion, that would be the one with the most widely public policy involved. It would lead to the recognition of the strong vocation of it to assert its views for the resolution of a dispute and would justify both the priority jurisdiction of its courts and circumspection of the other jurisdictional authorities to exercise their competence. Such a solution, tightly defined and justified in view of the importance of the interests involved, would provide a satisfactory solution to both harmoniously articulate the pursuit of liberal politics required in conflicts of jurisdictions with respect of public policy, and reconcile the protection of imperativities with the coordination of legal systems
Correia, Vincent. "L’Union européenne et l’ordre international de l’aviation civile : la contribution de l'Union européenne aux évolutions contemporaines du droit aérien international." Thesis, Bordeaux 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012BOR40050.
Full textThe way in which the Member States have redefined the conditions regarding how they exercise their air sovereignty, by progressively transferring power to the European Union, cannot be viewed solely as them removing and reducing their individual powers. The powers conferred to the European Union in aviation matters are resulting in an affirmation of the international role of Europe as a whole. This on-going, and as yet incomplete process, may be seen in a greater recognition of the specific European aspect regarding Civil Aviation. In spite of the hesitance of Member States and non-member States, the European Union has progressively taken its place among the key players, able to influence developments in modern aviation law, in the same way as other established aviation authorities and especially the United States. These new trends reveal the flexibility and elasticity of the Chicago Convention and the potential future developments in International Civil Aviation

Full textThe first party of the study is dedicated to the invocation of the right to a fair trial intra and extra muros and, on this basis, it focuses on the direct applicability of Article 6 and the subsidiarity of the Convention and of the European Court of Human Rights. Because of the fact that the right to a fair trial is a ‘‘judge-made law’’, the study also focuses on the invocability of the judgments of the European Court and more precisely on the direct invocability of the European Court’s judgment finding that there has been a violation of the Convention and on the request for an interpretation in accordance with the European Court’s decisions. The possibility of reviewing the criminal judgment made in violation of the Convention has generated a new right of access to the Court of cassation which particularly concerns the violations of the right to a fair trial and is probably the most important step for the respect of the right to a fair trial after enabling the right of individual petition. As for the weak conventional basis of the authority of res interpretata (“autorité de la chose interprétée”), this fact explains why an indirect dialogue between the ECHR and the Court of cassation is possible but doesn’t affect the applicant’s right to request an interpretation in accordance with the Court’s decisions and the duty of the Court of cassation to explain why it has decided to depart from the (non-binding) precedent.The second party of the study is bigger than the first one and is dedicated to the guarantees of the proper administration of justice (Article 6§1), the presumption of innocence (Article 6§2), the rights which find their conventional basis on the Article 6§1 but their logical explanation to the presumption of innocence and the rights of defence (Article 6§3). More precisely, the second party of the study is analyzing the right to an independent and impartial tribunal established by law, the right to a hearing within a reasonable time, the principle of equality of arms, the right to adversarial proceedings, the right of the defence to the last word, the right to a public hearing and a public pronouncement of the judgement, the judge’s duty to state the reasons for his decision, the presumption of innocence, in both its procedural and personal dimensions, the accused’s right to lie, his right to remain silent, his right against self-incrimination, his right to be informed of the nature and the cause of the accusation and the potential re-characterisation of the facts, his right to have adequate time and facilities for the preparation of the defence, including in particular the access to the case-file and the free and confidential communication with his lawyer, his right to appear in person at the trial, his right to defend either in person or through legal assistance, his right to be represented by his counsel, his right to free legal aid if he hasn’t sufficient means to pay for legal assistance but the interests of justice so require, his right to examine or have examined witnesses against him and to obtain the attendance and examination of witnesses on his behalf under the same conditions as witnesses against him and his right to the free assistance of an interpreter and to the translation of the key documents. The analysis is based on the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights and focuses on the position taken by the French and the Greek Court of Cassation (Areopagus) on each one of the above mentioned rights
Ouerghi, Hamdi. "L'autonomie de la clause compromissoire en matière d'arbitrage international." Thèse, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/1866/2380.
Full textThe autonomy of the arbitration clause is an ambiguous principle which contains several shutters. It's sometimes used - traditionally - to refer that the arbitration clause must (agreement) be treated and appreciated separately from the main contract. This conception of autonomy gives rise to two consequences: first, the arbitration agreement is unaffected by the invalidity of the main contract and second, it may be governed by a Law different from that governing the main contract. However, the evolution of this traditional sense has given another shutter to the principal of the autonomy which refers to the arbitration agreement from "all national laws". This new concept of autonomy is entirely different and which means that the existence and the validity of the arbitration clause must be examined under special material mIes, isolating the arbitration agreement from the conflict of laws but with full respect to the international law. In addition, the link this principle has with certain effects of the arbitration agreement proves to be delicate. Indeed, the principle of autonomy is often associated with another principle of the international arbitration which is kompetenz-kompetenz. The close links that the two principles maintain generate a risk of amalgam between two mIes which are actually different. On another level, would be blamed, in the name of the legal inconsistency, the capacity of the principle of autonomy "of coexisting" with another characteristic of the arbitration clause, namely, its transmissibility. We will try to clarify this "doubtful" articulation.
