French tort law in the context of national history, legal doctrine and case law

Introduction: French tort law is becoming increasingly attractive for didactic and scientific description in Russian legal discourse. It is taken for comparison, parallels are being drawn; in some aspects this law is proposed to be used as an analogue, with reference to its flexibility, spaciousness, and humanism. At the same time, the reasons behind the emergence of these qualities, which reflect a very specific nature of French tort law, are very rarely discussed in science. Meanwhile, its historical past, including the constant participation of doctrine and judicial practice in the formation and development of this institution, is in many ways unique and therefore in many ways not reproducible.
