En effet, les protocoles qui ont été signés entre l’ordre des avocats, la cour d’appel et le tribunal de commerce de Paris prévoient que le fond des litiges soumis à ces chambres pourra être tranché selon le droit choisi par les parties, ce qui implique que tant les avocats que les magistrats et juges consulaires concernés devront être familiarisés avec la Common Law.

Ces protocoles prévoient en outre que les pièces pourront être produites en langue anglaise et que les auditions des parties, témoins, experts et technicien pourront se dérouler en anglais, ce qui nécessite une maîtrise de l’anglais juridique et des modes de preuve très peu usités devant les juridictions civiles françaises là où ils sont classiquement mis en œuvre dans les pays de Common Law.

L’objectif est donc de former les participants aux réflexes, aux concepts et au techniques issus de la Common Law, de manière à leur permettre d’appréhender les contentieux qu’ils suivront ou auront à trancher quel que soit le droit régissant le litige.

Ce programme n’est pas limité aux seules personnes appelées à plaider devant ou à siéger dans les chambres commerciales internationales mais s’adresse également aux personnes, avocats ou magistrats, ayant un intérêt pour les contentieux internationaux dans lesquels la Common Law est impliquée ou

souhaitant partir en détachement, par exemple.

Il débutera par une introduction à l’anglais et aux modes de rédaction juridiques ainsi que par une introduction historique et aux concepts majeurs de la Common Law et se poursuivra par des modules relatifs aux droits des contrats, des « torts » (responsabilité délictuelle), des sociétés et commercial avant d’être clôturé par un cours sur les modes de preuve et le fonctionnement des interrogatoires.

L’ensemble de ces enseignements sera dispensé selon la formule anglo-américaine, c’est-à-dire avec la mise à disposition des participants de matériels leur permettant de préparer chaque cours, lequel devra ainsi permettre aux intervenants de répondre aux questions que les participants auront après une première prise de connaissance des notions qui seront enseignées avant ce cours.

L’EFB sera heureuse de vous accueillir en ses locaux pour 10 journées de formation réunissant avocats, magistrats et juges consulaires et réparties entre les mois de mars et juillet 2019 pour cette première édition.

EVIDENTIARY RULES AND TAKING OF EVIDENCES IN COMMON LAW : EXPERTS, WITNESSES, CROSS-EXAMINATION

Evidence collection and disclosure is one of the main areas of procedural and cultural diversity between civil law and common law systems. Differing approaches to key elements, such as the balance between inquisitorial or adversarial methods, or the requirement of an adversarial testimony, have a major impact on proceedings and their conduct.The international chamber of the Paris Court of Appeals has undertaken to develop procedures inspired by the common law systems. This is a key feature of its attractiveness as an international forum.The purpose of this training session is to introduce participants to the typology and rules for the taking of evidence in common law systems and to initiate them, through practical exercises, to the main procedures and techniques used at hearings, including the examination of witnesses and experts (direct examination and cross-examination).This training session is given by partners of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan whose practice involves using these common law techniques on a daily basis.
