These criminal law provisions have been relied upon to a large extent in tort cases where the defence of legislative authority has been raised. Most of the cases have adopted the view that if there is no criminal responsibility there should be no civil responsibility but that should not necessarily follow. 5, record 1, English, - legislative%20authority

On s'est largement fondé sur ces dispositions criminelles dans les causes en responsabilité délictuelle où le moyen de défense d'autorisation légale a été invoqué. Les tribunaux ont généralement adopté l'attitude que, s'il n'y a pas de responsabilité criminelle, il ne devrait pas y avoir de responsabilité civile. Il ne s'agit pas pourtant d'une conclusion inévitable. 5, record 1, French, - autorisation%20l%C3%A9gale
