Résumé :

La formation abordera la sanction de l'obligation d'information, que ce soit en droit commun des contrats (depuis la réforme du 10 février 2016), ou en droits spéciaux (notamment en droit de la consommation et droit de la construction) afin de déterminer les cas dans lesquels la loi prévoit une sanction (nullité du contrat, déchéance des intérêts, etc.), et les cas dans lesquels elle est silencieuse. Dans ce dernier cas, il revient à la jurisprudence de trouver la sanction la plus adéquate. D'un point de vue pratique, on soulignera l'importance, en amont, de s'assurer que le professionnel a bien délivré toutes les informations à son cocontractant; et en aval, de l'autre côté, le manquement à cette obligation offrira d'intéressantes solutions au cocontractant déçu du contrat (demande d'anéantissement du contrat, mise en œuvre de la responsabilité civile du contractant, etc.).

Mode de transmission : en présentiel

2 heures de CPD seront attribuées
