Abstract

This paper, in French, was presented at the conference Securite juridique et droit economique (Legal Certainty and Economic Law) organized by the CREDECO of Nice (France) under the direction of Prof. Laurence Boy, Siriainen and Racine, on October 26, 2006.

The objective is to describe the specific features of legal certainty in the Common Law World while comparing with the French Law understanding of the concept. The issue starts with a problem of translation as "legal certainty" in English is a much narrower concept that that of "Securite Juridique".

Keywords: Legal system, comparative law, legal certainty

JEL Classification: K10
