DESCRIPTION:Le Centre Paul-André Crépeau de droit privé et comparé Bertrand
  Stoffel\, University of Zurich\, pour un Atelier « Les apparences du droi
 t civil ».\nRésumé\n(En anglais seulement) Appearance plays a major role i
 n civil evidence. Certainly\, the judge may sometimes rely on science to p
 rove facts. Often however\, the judge will have to base her judgment on wh
 at appears to her as true or false.\nIn private law\, proof is the demonst
 ration of an alleged fact. It is the process that will lead the judge to t
 he intimate conviction of the existence of the fact. But what\, then\, are
  the criteria for the establishment of such demonstration? To a large exte
 nt\, the judge will rely on her own experience to establish the existence 
 of a fact. She will review documents\, hear statements\, and inspect locat
 ions. All this will put the fact in evidence: It will make it appear as tr
 ue or false.\nThe evidence—or appearance—of a fact will always be provisio
 nal. That is to say\, no matter how many pieces of evidence are available\
 , one can never be sure that this is exactly how the fact happened. Indeed
 \, to the observer\, the fact evidenced will remain an isolated fact. More
 over\, the appearance of that fact will be that which the observer\, in hi
 s own position and with his own experience\, will perceive.\nThis workshop
  will explore how proof in private law can be a matter of appearance and h
 ow it relies on observation and probability. Reliance on observation is no
 t without problems. Observation will disturb the facts\, suppressing some 
 of them and putting others in front. In the same vein\, the judge will nee
 d to base her findings on her experience of life in order to establish the
  probability of a fact\, thus linking proof with considerable uncertainty 
 and subjectivity.\nLes ateliers de droit civil\nEn vue de promouvoir la ré
 flexion fondamentale en droit privé\, le Centre a instauré la série des « 
 Ateliers de droit civil » qui permet de regrouper des juristes québécois e
 t étrangers autour de thèmes de recherche communs. Dédiés à l’étude d’un t
 hème de recherche transversal\, les « Ateliers de droit civil » contribuen
 t ainsi à enrichir et à stimuler la recherche fondamentale en droit privé.
 \nLe cycle 2012-2014 des ateliers de droit civil\, présenté par le Centre 
 Paul-André Crépeau de droit privé et comparé\, se déroule sous le thème « 
 Les apparences en droit civil ».\nLe cycle d'ateliers de droit civil compt
 e sur l'appui financier des Fonds d’appui à l’accès à la justice dans les 
 deux langues officielles.\nAucune inscription préalable n'est requise.\n
