Nouvelles réflexions sur les rapports du droit et de l’équité

Some New Reflections on the Relation between Law and Equitable Decision-Making. Equitable Decision-Making is, first of ail, an abstract, philosophic concept. It is the basis of law and ail law is, or should be, an expression of the equitable as it is perceived by society at a given place and moment. More concretely, it is a reference, which appears intermittently, albeit decreasingly in positive law where it functions as a secondary source of law. Last, equitable decision-making operates on occasion as a circumstantial corrective to the law, explicitly as well as in practice. In this role, the Mediator, along with other institutions, has an advisory power, but has also the capacity for equitable settlement of litigations. This latter type of intervention can only be exceptional so as not to destabilize the administration and discredit the legal System
