Roland Drago, The Notion of Obligation: Public Law and Private Law
The notion of obligation stands in a central place when private law is concerned. Is it also true with public law? In the latter case, case law takes too much importance for the civilist notion of obligation to be able to impose itself. However it takes over because the nature of things is stronger in contract or quasi contract matters. But the principles of public law in practice prevent its use in other fields, even that of liability.

Key Words : obligation, public, private, case law, contract, liability
