Thus defined, it is opposite to public law and differentiated from ‘mixed law’ such as criminal law which has aspects of both. Of course, understanding private relationships between individuals, depend to a large extent on the country where they are observed and its history. French individualism (which of course does not exclude the general interest) which is notably embodied by the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen of 1789 is doubtless at the heart of private law—I was going to say private law legislation—and is illustrated by the central place which is reserved for the law of private property. Private law therefore governs all relationships between individuals in all aspects of their lives: their private lives, their business relations, their working relationships, and so on. date: 2022-09-29 date_type: published publisher: Cambridge University Press faculty: droit divisions: IDP language: en has_fulltext: FALSE view_date_year: 2022 full_text_status: none pagerange: 43-47 book_title: International journal of legal information harvester_local_overwrite: eprintid harvester_local_overwrite: userid harvester_local_overwrite: faculty harvester_local_overwrite: dir harvester_local_overwrite: site harvester_local_overwrite: type harvester_local_overwrite: date harvester_local_overwrite: ispublished harvester_local_overwrite: publisher harvester_local_overwrite: date_type harvester_local_overwrite: publish_to_hal harvester_local_overwrite: creators_name harvester_local_overwrite: language harvester_local_overwrite: book_title harvester_local_overwrite: divisions harvester_local_overwrite: title harvester_local_overwrite: creators_id harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: abstract harvester_local_overwrite: pagerange harvester_local_overwrite: subjects site: ut1 publish_to_hal: FALSE citation: Julien, Jérôme (2022) An introduction to French private law.
