Abstract

French and Belgian law merely offer doctrines that allow for the dislocation of the risk a party bears in its capacity of debtor, namely the risk of impossible or more onerous performance of obligations. Both legal systems are debtor centrist in that regard. In light of the socio-economic crisis following the outbreak of the coronavirus SARS-CoV- 2, this debtor centrist approach appears to be insufficient. The present article argues that this insufficiency is due to the debtor centrist approach and could be resolved by allowing for a doctrine that takes the materialization of the creditor risk, the frustration of purpose, into account. As German law, but also Dutch and English law, provide, such an approach exists and proves more apt to deal with contract cases arising under the current crisis.

Coronarisis及其对债权人的影响:目的的挫败
法国和比利时的法律只是提供了一些理论,允许一方当事人以债务人身份承担的风险,即不可能或更繁重地履行义务的风险错位。在这方面,这两个法律体系都是以债务人为中心的。鉴于冠状病毒严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型爆发后的社会经济危机,这种以债务人为中心的做法似乎是不够的。本条认为,这种不足是由于以债务人为中心的做法造成的,可以通过允许一种考虑到债权人风险的具体化、目的的挫败的学说来解决。正如德国法律以及荷兰和英国法律所规定的那样,这种方法是存在的,而且事实证明更适合处理当前危机下出现的合同案件。
