Droit Privé

Droit privé, or private law, governs the relationships between individuals and private entities. It covers areas like contracts, property rights, family matters, and obligations, focusing on how people interact, negotiate, and resolve disputes without direct involvement from the state. This branch ensures that private transactions are fair and individuals' rights are protected in personal and economic dealings. It contrasts with public law, which deals with the state's role and its authority over society. Essentially, droit privé provides the legal framework for everyday interactions among private individuals and organizations.
