  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des délits (common law)
CONT

Les obligations que je mettrais à leur charge découlent non seulement des textes mentionnés, mais aussi de la common law, qui reconnaît que les forces policières, en tant qu'instrument de l'État, ont un large devoir conventionnel ou coutumier de veiller à la protection de la vie, de l'intégrité physique ainsi que des biens des citoyens.
