In February 2024, Book 6, which deals with extra-contractual liability, was adopted.
The main purpose of the Book 6 is to codify existing case law on extra-contractual liability provisions, but it also includes some new elements and resolves some controversies.
Book 6 contains 7 chapters covering :
- Introductory provisions (chapter 1),
- Facts giving rise to liability (chapter 2),
- Causal link (chapter 3),
- Damage (chapter 4),
- Consequences of liability (chapter 5),
- Order of prohibition (chapter 6) and
- Specific liability rules (chapter 7 integrating the Product Liability Law that will be eventually changed to be aligned with the future EU Product Liability Directive).
