GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE PRINCIPAL LIABILITY FOR THE AGENT ACTIONS IN THE LIGHT OF THE NEW CIVIL CODE

Abstract

The principals’ liability for the agents’ actions, although a classical theme, subject of debates, is still an actual subject by its practical issues. Though, the paper calls for an analyze of the fundament of this form of liability by a comparative approach of the legal provisions in the Civil Code in force and in the New Civil Code. Given the fact that the source of the doctrinarian controversy related to the foundation of the principal responsibility has been, over time, represented by the legal gaps, we try to determine the way in wich the New Civil code will succeed in ending those debates. Key-words: liability, principal, agent, fundament, New Civil Code
