ABSTRACTMichael Pryles, Professor at the University of Sydney, emphasizes that in the introduction to his course non-contractual obligations are one of the most fascinating areas of private international law. The revolution that took place during the 1980s and before in the United States with regard to the determination of applicable law has largely unfolded in this area. Professor Pryles illustrates his presentation with numerous examples from the Australian case law. He examines successively the search for certainty (lex fori, lex loci delicti, Philipps c. Eyre judgment), the need for flexibility, between innovation, chaos and compromise, and then examines certain specific non-contractual obligations and certain particular actions (by considering different situations relating to the parties, capabilities and immunities, defenses, and remedies).
Les obligations extracontractuelles, souligne en introduction de son cours Michael Pryles, professeur à l'Université de Sidney, sont l'un des domaines les plus fascinants du droit international privé. La révolution qui s'est déroulée au cours des années quatre-vingt et avant aux États-Unis en ce qui concerne la détermination de la loi applicable s'est en grande partie déroulée dans ce domaine. Le Professeur Pryles illustre son propos de nombreux exemples issus de la jurisprudence australienne. Il étudie successivement la quête de certitude (lex fori, lex loci delicti, arrêt Philipps c. Eyre), la nécessité d'une certaine flexibilité, entre innovation, chaos et compromis, puis étudie certaines obligations extracontractuelles particulières et certaines actions particulières (en prenant en compte différentes situations relatives aux parties, aux capacités et immunités, aux moyens de défense et aux recours).
