Education
To shed light on a possible reform of Luxembourg construction law, the examples of French and Belgian law are particularly relevant.
In French law, recent decades of reform highlight the importance of jointly examining legislative and case law developments, with a special focus on the role played by the Cour de cassation. Four structuring notions will be discussed: contracts, acceptance, liability, and time limits for action. Two recent reform proposals for special contracts will also be addressed: the proposal by Association Henri Capitant and the draft prepared by the Philippe Stoffel-Munck committee under the Chancellery.
In Belgian law, the reform of special contracts law (Book 7 of the new Civil Code), including construction contracts, should be adopted at the start of 2026. This reform modernizes the rules for business and service contracts, notably by creating a common framework for service contracts, aligning service contract law largely with that for sales, and reforming the liability regime for constructors. The presentation will cover the main expected developments.
