handle is hein.journals/ronrev2020 and id is 944 raw text is: Poate frica fata de un prejudiciu viitor constitui un temei suficient pentru o rdspundere civild delictuala actuald? O privire in cutia Pandorei Jud. dr. IOAN ILIES NEAMT EST-CE QUE LA CRAINTE POUR UN PREJUDICE FUTUR PEUT ETRE UN FONDEMENT SUFFISANT POUR UNE RESPONSABILITE CIVILE DELICTUELLE ACTUELLE? UN COUP D'CEIL DANS LA BOITE DE PANDORE RESUME Dans cette etude, nous entendons analyser dans quelle mesure la crainte de subir un prejudice d l'avenir suite d l'exposition d un facteur de risque peut en lui-meme constituer un prejudice indemnisable. Dans ce sens, apres un bref aperpu du prejudice - une condition de la responsabilite civile, notre attention a ete attire vers la crainte de subir un prejudice d l'avenir et ses particularites, comme un eventuel prejudice reparable, ainsi quefinalement, nous pouvons placer cet eventuel prejudice dans le contexte des conditions de la responsabilite civile, dans le but de surprendre les eventuels defis. La conclusion que nous avons tiree a ete celle que, par rapport d laflexibility de notre systeme de droit en matiere du prejudice non patrimonial, une telle hypothese de responsabilite ne devrait pas etre exclue, de plano, mais il est necessaire de retenir certaines particularites comme une marque distinctive. Ainsi, dans le but de prevenir les abus, parmi les autres aspects, la crainte pourrait etre consideree comme un prejudice reparable seulement au moment oh elle s'avere etre raisonnable et assez grave. Mots-cls: crainte; risque; prejudice; responsabilite civile; nature raisonnable. a IS THE FEAR OF A FUTURE DAMAGE LIKELY TO BE A SUFFICIENT BASIS FOR A CURRENT TORT LIABILITY? AN INSIGHT INTO PANDORA'S BOX ABSTRACT The paper aims to analyze if thefear of a future damage resulting from a risk exposure may itself be considered a reparable damage. In this regard, after a short review of the damage as a condition of civil liability, our attention further focuses on the fear of suffering a future damage and its particularities, as a potential repairable damage, and, in the end, we have placed this potential damage in the context of civil liability conditions in order to uncover its potential challenges. We have concluded that, considering the flexibility of our legal system when it comes to moral damages, such a hypothesis of civil liability should not be, de plano, rejected, but, nevertheless, some particularities that mark its distinct nature must be considered. Thus, in order not to create a favorable framework for abuses, among others, fear should be considered a reparable damage only when it proves to be reasonable and sufficiently serious. Keywords: fear; risk; damage; civil liability; reasonableness.
