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.

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.
