From the book jacket

Bien que les comparatistes risquent parfois d'exag茅rer son formalisme, voire sa rigidit茅, le droit civil dispose de techniques pour trancher les dissonances entre les apparences factuelles et la r茅alit茅 juridique. 脌 la question 芦est-ce que le droit privil茅gie l'apparence ou la r茅alit茅 ?禄, la r茅ponse oscille au gr茅 des situations. Les apparences en droit civil fut le th猫me choisi pour la s茅rie d'Ateliers tenue au cours des ann茅es 2012 脿 2014 par le Centre Paul-Andr茅 Cr茅peau de droit priv茅 et compar茅.

Adrian Popovici, Eric Descheemaeker, Silvia Ferreri, B茅atrice Kan-Balivet, Bertrand Stoffel, R茅gine Tremblay et Daniel Jutras explorent ces divers enjeux au d茅tour du droit des obligations, des biens, de la preuve, de la responsabilit茅 civile ou encore de la famille. Chaque contribution apporte des 茅clairages et 茅l茅ments de r茅ponses 脿 une vari茅t茅 de situations en droit priv茅 qui, en d茅pit des apparences, ne sont pas celles que l'on croit.

What does the law do when appearances are misleading? Should the misleading appearance have juridical effect over the concealed reality, or vice versa? How far should we protect those who rely on appearances? Does it matter who has created the misleading appearance, or how careful a person has been to investigate the situation? What are the private law consequences of misleading others, especially when one has done so unwittingly?

For over 15 years, the Cr茅peau Centre鈥檚 civil law workshop series has been a showcase for new ideas relating to aspects of fundamental private law in the civilian tradition.
