Defences against unjust enrichment action in French Law |
Here is a new sentence
of the Supreme Court of France (Cour de cassation): Com. ch., 18 mai 1999,
Bulletin d'information de la Cour de cassation 1999, No 1000:
«the action of de in rem verso cannot succeed when impoverishment
is the result of mistake of the plaintiff. Consequently, must be annulled
the judgement (arrêt) which, after having retained the error of impoverished,
condemns the defendant, on the base of this error, to restitute the received
sum.»
This sentence recently published is in total contradiction with the other's
of the same section (commercial) of Cour de cassation (v. as ex.: Com.
ch., 19 May 1998, Semaine juridique (JCP) 1999, Ed. G., I party, 114,
obs. VIRASSAMY) and this coming from the other civil sections (as. ex.:
in particular civ. 1 ch., 11 mars 1997, Receuil Dalloz 1997, J.,
p. 407, note BILLIAU ; and, civ. 2 ch., 2 dec. 1998, Semaine juridique
(JCP) 1999, Ed. G., IV party, 1128).
