Les contributions rassemblées dans cet ouvrage ont été présentées à l'Institut Max Planck pour le droit comparé et le droit international privé de Hambourg (Allemagne) les 1er et 2 novembre 2012. Elles ont trait aux réformes des droits français et allemand. Les différents thèmes abordés ont été choisis avec pour arrière-plan la concurrence normative dans l'Union européenne et avec pour projet de mettre à l'épreuve l'hypothèse selon laquelle les réformes nationales sont influencées par l'évolution du droit de l'Union européenne ainsi que par celle des autres droits nationaux. Précisément, l'ouvrage vise à donner un aperçu des réformes françaises et allemandes dans les champs du droit dans lesquels la concurrence normative apparaît la plus vive : le droit des obligations, le droit des sociétés et le droit des entreprises en difficultés. Rédigé en anglais et en français, nourri de remarques comparatives, ce livre a pour ambition d'aider à mieux comprendre le processus contemporain de fabrication du droit dans l'Union européenne.

During its classical period, American contract law had three prominent characteristics: nearly unlimited freedom to choose the contents of a contract, a clear separation from the law of tort (the law of civil wrongs), and the power to make contracts without regard to the other party's ability to understand them. Combining incisive historical analysis with a keen sense of judicial politics, W. David Slawson shows how judges brought the classical period to an end about 1960 with a period of reform that continues to this day. American contract law no longer possesses any of the prominent characteristics of its classical period. For instance, courts now refuse to enforce standard contracts according to their terms; they implement the consumer's reasonable expectations instead. Businesses can no longer count on making the contracts they want: laws for certain industries or for businesses generally set many business obligations regardless of what the contracts say. A person who knowingly breaches a contract and then tries to avoid liability is subject to heavy penalties. As Slawson demonstrates, judges accomplished all these reforms, although with some help from scholars. Legislation contributed very little despite its presence in massive amounts and despite the efforts of modern institutions of law reform such as the Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. Slawson argues persuasively that this comparison demonstrates the superiority of judge-made law to legislation for reforming private law of any kind.
This note explores the interactions between new technologies with key areas of commercial law and potential legal changes to respond to new developments in technology and businesses. Inspired by the Bali Fintech Agenda, this note argues that country authorities need to closely examine the adequacy of their legal frameworks to accommodate the use of new technologies and implement necessary legal reform so as to reap the benefits of fintech while mitigating risks. Given the cross-border nature of new technologies, international cooperation among all relevant stakeholders is critical. The note is structured as follows: Section II describes the relations between technology, business, and law, Section III discusses the nature and functions of commercial law; Section IV provides a brief overview of developments in fintech; Section V examines the interaction between technology and commercial law; and Section VI concludes with a preliminary agenda for legal reform to accommodate the use of new technologies.
