Civil Liability in accordance with the Lebanese Legal Provosions

The author provides an in-depth exploration of civil liability within the framework of the Lebanese Code of Obligations and Contracts. Drawing from both Lebanese and French legal doctrines and precedents, the book meticulously examines various facets of civil liability, with a focus on the distinction with criminal liability, let alone the difference between subjective liability and objective liability. The book is structured into two main parts: delictual liability and contractual liability. The delictual liability section comprises eight chapters, each delving into specific aspects of civil responsibility. The chapters cover liability arising from personal act, vicarious liability (including parents and guardians, teachers and craftsmen, and principals), liability arising from things, buildings, and animals, as well as detailed discussions on damage, its forms, specifications, and the intricacies of compensation, including the significance of non-liability clauses. In the second part, the author navigates the conditions of contractual liability, offering a thorough exploration of compensation in contractual matters. This includes a nuanced examination of liquidated damages clauses, exculpatory clauses, and instances of exemption from liability within the contractual context. This comprehensive work serves as an invaluable resource for legal practitioners, scholars, and anyone seeking a profound understanding of civil liability within the Lebanese legal framework. The author's meticulous analysis, rooted in legal doctrines and real-world precedents, makes this book an essential reference for those navigating the complexities of civil responsibility under Lebanese law.
