Features: Contemporary French tort law emphasizes general principles while neglecting specific systems. In contemporary France, both fault-based tort liability and strict liability systems share a common characteristic: they focus solely on the general principles and fundamental principles of tort law while disregarding its specific systems. China's tort law should learn from the experience of French tort law and clearly distinguish between intentional torts and negligent torts. The author, with his strong command of French, conducts an in-depth study of the Code Civil de France, particularly its provisions on tort liability. This book elaborates on the specific provisions of the Code Civil de France regarding tort liability, the role of tort liability in the legal system of France, the scope of interests protected by French tort law, the constitutive conditions of tort liability for damages, the fundamental principles of tort liability for damages, tort liability arising from personal acts, tort liability arising from the conduct of things, tort liability arising from traffic accidents, and tort liability arising from the acts of others.
