Duration :  60h Th
Credits/ECTS :  
Bachelor in Political Sciences, 1st yearToute l'année6
Holder(s) :  Pascale Lecocq
Language :  French language
Course contents :  After an introduction whose purpose is to set private law within the Belgian legal system, we address the topic of private rights (notions of real rights and claims; birth, transmission and extinguishment) as well as the concept of possession in patrimonial and non-patrimonial domains.
The ¿legal act¿ (definition, classifications, creation, performance, effects regarding people) will then retain our attention, before we examine a specific ¿legal fact¿, the one of ¿civil responsibility¿ (torts).
In the final part of the class, attention is given to the subjects of Evidence in civil law (ways of proving, admissibility and power of various ways of proving, specificities of proving transactions on the Internet) and to the notion of legal personality (study of natural and legal persons and their capability).
Course objective :  The aim of the class is to provide students in political sciences and public administration with the basic principles of private law, contracts, torts, property law, family law and merchant law. First, these fundamentals constitute the basis of a legal culture; second, they are necessary for understanding further legal classes. The learning is eventually useful in the perspective of professional exams, including those organized by public authorities.
Workshops :  Three lessons of practical cases are organized to prepare the student for the exam.
Organization :  The course consists in a two hours lesson a week, and 2X2 h. a week during the second semester
Written notes :  Detailled plan. List of legal dispositions.
Assessment :  Final examination. Civil code and other legal dispositions are necessary.
