Abstract

The Author focuses on changes regarding judgments in force in the French civil law. Henri Motulsky, the chief initiator of the Code of Civil Procedure of 1974 suggested that the validity of a judgment be “limited to the factors presented before the court and decided there”. In 1994, the Plenary Assembly of the Supreme Court of Judicature adopted this general principle, but in 2006 the Assembly replaced it with another solution which, inter alia, does not recognize the source of a legal decision in a judgment, thus violating the code of civil procedure. On the other hand, another judgment of the Supreme Court (in 2007) releases the judge from the obligation to ascertain disputable facts. In the Author’s view, this leads to a violation of rules of procedure, the legal proceedings and the very institution of the judge.
