(Calenda announcement 1047241)
As the movement to digitize society accelerates, the law is seizing on both new objects such as data, artificial intelligence or cyber risks, and new actors such as platforms. At the same time, civil law remains relatively indifferent to these developments. The Civil Code only marginally addresses the digital environment, mainly in relation to the conclusion of contracts by electronic means. The evolution of the modalities and stakes of the protection of persons, of the formalization as well as of the object of contractual relations or of the composition of assets in contact with the digital environment invites us to reflect on the possible renewal of civil law by taking into account the margins left by European Union law.
