Abstract

Where the promisor fails to perform and thereby causes loss to the promisee, he will generally be liable to compensate such loss. This paper considers the extent to which in French and English law, this simple proposition must be qualified by reference to the fault of the promisor. For this purpose, fault denotes a failure to exercise care and diligence. Is fault a necessary element of contractual liability? Alternatively, is liability for breach of contract independent of fault?
