The general rule is that where damage is suffered by any person as a result of a tort, any tortfeasor liable in respect of that damage may recover contribution from any other tortfeasor who is, or would if sued have been, liable in respect of the same damage, whether as joint tortfeasor or otherwise. There must, first of all be a common liability in tort. This precludes contribution between one liable in contract and another in tort.  1, fiche 3, Anglais, - common%20liability

Damage may be direct, i. e. caused immediately by the conduct done in breach of duty, e. g. injury to a person in an accident, or indirect, or consequential, when it results from the conduct only after the intervention of other factors, e. g. pecuniary loss resulting from a vehicle being damaged. Whether and, if so, to what extent a person in breach of duty is legally liable to another to whom his breach has caused indirect or consequential damage raises the problem of remoteness of damage.  6, fiche 8, Anglais, - indirect%20damage

... When wheat is milled into flour, starch granules are subjected to physical damage and granules may be fractured, cracked, chopped or otherwise changed. As a result, normal flours may contain varying amounts of starch granules damaged to varying degrees in addition to intact starch granules. Hard wheat flours usually have much higher starch damage values than soft wheat flours. Starch granules in soft wheat endosperm are loosely bound in the kernel and easily released in milling; on the other hand, starch granules in hard wheat endosperm are firmly bound in a much stronger protein matrix and therefore more liable to damage when endosperm fragments are reduced during milling.  1, fiche 12, Anglais, - hard%20wheat%20flour

[...] Lors de la mouture du blé, les granules d'amidon sont exposés à des dommages physiques et peuvent être écrasés, fêlés, fendus ou altérés de quelque façon. Conséquemment, les farines normales peuvent contenir diverses proportions de granules d'amidon plus ou moins endommagés, en plus de granules intacts. Les farines de blés de force sont généralement plus exposées à ces dommages que celles de blés tendres. Dans le cas des blés tendres, les granules d'amidon sont rattachés de façon assez lâche dans l'endosperme et facilement libérés au moment de la mouture. Par contre, dans le cas des blés de force les granules d'amidon sont retenus beaucoup plus fermement au sein de la matrice protéique et sont ainsi davantage exposés aux dommages au moment de la réduction des fragments d'endosperme par la mouture.  2, fiche 12, Français, - farine%20de%20bl%C3%A9%20de%20force
