CONT

En pareils cas, le plaignant est habituellement beaucoup moins protégé puisqu'une association actuarielle ne peut généralement assurer à l'un ou l'autre de ses membres une immunité contre une poursuite civile.

CONT

Pour intenter une poursuite au civil, il faut démontrer de réels dommages, et il est difficile d'intenter des poursuites civiles préventives.
