Domaine(s)

CONT

L'annulation du contrat pour cause immorale. L'adagé «nemo auditur [...]» ne s'applique pas uniformément à tous les contrats frappés d'une cause de nullité. En effet, sa mise en œuvre repose sur une distinction entre contrat illicite et contrat immoral : seul le contrat immoral peut donner lieu en principe à l'application de ce principe général du droit.
