AbstractThe primary function of the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) is to modernize and harmonize the business laws of member states. The wider objective of OHADA is to attract foreign investment into the OHADA zone and to achieve economic integration in Africa as whole, as other African countries join OHADA. However, article 42 of the treaty establishing OHADA stipulates that French is the working language of the organization. This paper argues that this provision does not facilitate the goal of economic integration in Africa and that in one member state, Cameroon, article 42 presents serious constitutional and human rights difficulties. The paper suggests that article 42 should be amended in order to make it easier for key OHADA objectives to be attained and in order to remove the serious problems created in Cameroon.

Abstract: The complexity of transnational sources is approached in this paper through the analysis of a regional report prepared through national reports of the member countries of the Organisation pour l'harmonisation en Afrique du droit des affaires (OHADA). The report contains the summary of the answers given by national reporters to nine questions prepared with the aim of investigating the difficulties related to the interaction of overlapping laws at a regional level. First, the problem of fragmentation related to both national/international and regional/interregional sources of law and jurisdictions is considered, and the major actors in the detection of the conflict of laws are listed. Then, several responses (both only proposed or already implemented) to cope with the fragmentation issue are presented, according to the differences in each country. In addition, a number of monitoring mechanisms put in place by the executive powers of each country in order to avoid superimposition of laws and regulations at different levels are enumerated. Additionally, the issue of judiciary organization, training, and functioning is addressed in relation to transnational sources and specialized judicial institutions. The emerging strategies used by the judges in order to avoid the complexity due to the overlapping legal rules are studied, but no specific strategies are actually identified. Finally, a tentative evaluation of the efficiency of the national courts in dealing with superimposition of laws is proposed to national reporters. However, the general problem of the lack of information and the scarce accessibility to the jurisprudence emerges and makes the aforementioned evaluation difficult.

Abstract Twenty-eight years after the creation of the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA), private international law remains a “Cinderella subject” in western and central Africa. Indeed, there are no coherent sets of rules regarding the law applicable to contractual obligations, international jurisdiction, as well as the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments under OHADA law. This article contends that the main reason behind the lesser importance given to private international law in the OHADA region can be found in OHADA’s unification technique itself: OHADA unifies (and does not merely harmonize) business law. Its Uniform Acts are directly applicable and overriding in all the Member States; therefore, one could (erroneously) think that courts would never have to grapple with difficult questions as to which Member State’s law would apply to a dispute falling within the scope of a Uniform Act, as the laws of all the Member States would yield the same results. This article demonstrates that the Uniform Acts are incomplete either because they contain gaps or because they sometimes refer to the national legislations of the Member States. Thus, the unification of the substantive rules does not eliminate the need for the existence and the unification of conflict-of-laws rules. Moreover, this article provides a tour d’horizon of the existing seldom private international law rules under OHADA law. Additionally, it suggests new avenues for the development of a future OHADA legislation on the law applicable to contractual obligations, international jurisdiction, as well as the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.

Disparities in national laws are likely to result in uncertainty which, in turn, creates obstacles to international commerce. It is acknowledged that strong investment flows cannot be achieved without a secure legal and commercial environment. Mindful of such a need, states decided to harmonise sales law internationally. To this end, in 1980 they adopted the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods known as the Vienna Sales Convention or the CISG. The CISG has led a number of countries, including the Organisation for the Harmonisation of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) law states, to modernise their local sales law. However, only three of 17 countries that constitute the OHADA community have ratified the CISG. OHADA law countries give the impression of favouring a more regional approach to the unification of sales law rather than the CISG’s global approach by implementing a local Commercial Uniform Act. Their indifference towards the CISG is not without consequences for commerce in the OHADA region. This article seeks to demonstrate that the lack of ratification of a universal convention, as for example the CISG, poses a danger to commercial dealings. It also intends to show that the CISG is not hostile to regional uniform sales laws of the OHADA Commercial Uniform Act type. It concludes that OHADA countries do not need to be afraid of their acceptance of the CISG and recommends that it be ratified.

An important question concerning legal uniformity under OHADA is, can OHADA bridgebetween the common law system and the civil law system? Is OHADA compatible with commonlaw? Does OHADA have the capacity to address the diversity of African legal and judicialtraditions? Does OHADA take into account African cultural and traditional norms? It seems thatif not, then the integration process will be an uncomfortable marriage. Can Cameroon's longitudebe maintained, much less promoted, in the context of OHADA? Can meaningful reforms takenational particulars into account? The thing that is of greater concern is whether OHADA canaccommodate the contradictory conditions of contemporary society and the challenges ofglobalization and modernization. The right approach should be to promote laws, principles, andpractices that conform to conventional and universally accepted standards of fairness and justicethat are modified to suit the realities of Cameroon and Africa. This article will discuss thehistorical background of Cameroon's legal framework, the nature, current trends of Uniform Lawreform, and the challenges of developing and implementing the OHADA Agreement and theUniform Act. Finally, in keeping with the spirit and philosophy that the legal system is meant toserve as the touchstone of justice and equality, this Article proposes its way forward with theOHADA Agreement and the Uniform Act, which have come to stay

Abstract: The trend towards harmonization of contract law is increasingly developing, but orientations may be very different, due not only to the respective contexts, but also to the nature of objectives pursued. The present essay describes and compares three recent harmonization projects, two in the African context of the Organisation pour l’harmonisation en Afrique du droit des affaires (OHADA), the third one initiated by the Organisation pour l’harmonisation du droit des affaires dans la Caraïbe (OHADAC). The first African project, as requested by the Council of Ministers of OHADA, took strong inspiration from the UNIDROIT Principles, as the intention was to elaborate a modern instrument apt to attract investors. This project, however, has not been adopted, in particular because of a marked reluctance to depart from the French legal tradition, which is prevailing in most (but not all) member States. An alternative project, based on a private initiative, is in the process of being elaborated, with the view to remain within the dominant legal tradition and to avoid disorienting practitioners. As to the project that has just been prepared in the framework of OHADAC, it takes much inspiration from existing uniform law instruments, including the UNIDROIT Principles. At the same time, it is mainly concerned not to retain rules which could appear to be unacceptable in certain parts of a region where the legal systems are very diverse.

Full textAbstract:
The law of the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) enshrines the principle of compulsory representation by lawyer before its High Court, the Common Court of Justice and Arbitration (CCJA). It follows from this principle that any appeal before the CCJA and any related procedural document such as the reply or replication, not signed by a lawyer belonging to a Bar in the OHADA geographical area, are to be declared inadmissible. Notwithstanding the explicit consecration of this principle in OHADA law, the CCJA has been called upon on many occasions to define its contour. This paper examines the interpretation of this principle by this court. It first notes the scope of this principle as defined by the CCJA in relation to the criteria retained for the exercise of the ministry of counsel before its jurisdiction. Finally, it dwells on its jurisprudence concerning the form and statements of the special mandate to be given to the lawyer, on the one hand, and on the legal consequences attached to it, on the other hand. It concludes by pointing out that OHADA law, and the High Court in its jurisprudential practice, are more flexible and better adapted to the obligation of representation by a lawyer than the law of certain OHADA member states.

Full textAbstract:
In an environment marked by growing claims regarding corporate social responsibility (CSR), debates on governance show the need for taking into account all the legitimate involved parties of the company within the framework of the legal or voluntary financial communication (Dowling and Pfeffer, 1975; Lind B lom, 1994; Gray et al.., 1995). If the accounting regulation, the laws and the rules in western countries require the consideration of the environmental aspects in the accounts and the annual reports of companies (Law NRE, Art 116, 2001), paradoxically in Africa, the OHADA accounting law remains silent on the problems of management generated by this CSR. Is this disinterest for the CSR justified for the OHADA accounting law? Does it mean that the CSR is excluded from African companies? Does it mean that in the OHADA zone the companies are in advance compared to the accounting legislation? In other words, is the OHADA accounting law still relevant to play its role of macroeconomic regulator? This paper examines the evaluations of the social and environmental impacts of the activities of companies and their integration in final accounts for a reliable, true financial communication and reflecting a true and fair view in the OHADA zone.

By the time the founding fathers of the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) signed the Treaty of Port Louis, the financial markets in Western and Central Africa were embryonic. Nowadays the situation has changed and it seems appropriate to reconsider relationship between OHADA law and securities exchange markets. Indeed, OHADA's Community legislation has to deal with the securities markets covered and serve both the proper functioning of the market and the protection of investors. The uniform Act on Commercial Companies and Economic Interest Groupings contains provisions referring to specific financial rules. However, is this sufficient to earn the public trust? Financial market law is a complex discipline. If we supplement this the effort required for investors to find their way between the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) or the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) stock exchange law and national constraints throughout OHADA, the following question must be asked: How is the investor’s interest protected in this legal jungle? This paper tries to analyse the legal mechanisms of investor protection in the WAEMU Regional Stock Exchange and the Central African Stock Exchange, combining them with the uniform law for commercial companies of OHADA.

Abstract The Organisation for Harmonisation of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) was established in October 1993 with the ambitious aim of inciting economic development in its Member States. Through the adoption of Uniform Commercial Laws, the organisation is expected to create an enabling environment for business development, thereby providing for a path to economic growth and subsequent development. In light of this professed aim, both the transnational methodological approach and comparative law theories are used in this paper to critically analyse the various processes conducted under the OHADA banner and to engage in discussions on the highly debated role of law as a vehicle for development in sub-Saharan Africa. This exercise, which proves crucial in order to trace its origin within the global governance and law and development theories, allows us to present OHADA as a transnational legal system, while also highlighting both its strengths and limitations.

Le cadre légal est indispensable au développement de l’économie. Il définit l’avancée ou la baisse du climat des affaires dans un pays ou un espace. C’est ainsi que l’Organisation pour l’Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des affaires s’est fixée pour objectif dans une plus ou moins longue échéance, le développement économique de l’Afrique en générale et de ses états membres en particulier. Pour cela, il lui faut indubitablement un droit contribuant à l’instauration d’une sécurité juridique et judiciaire à même de favoriser les investissements indispensables au développement économique de ses États membres.Dans ce contexte, elle s’est dotée de règles pouvant encadrées le développement des affaires dans son espace. Ces dispositions appelées actes uniformes sont actuellement au nombre de dix, seulement aucun de ces actes uniformes n’est relatif au droit commun des contrats. Or, le contrat est la clé de voûte du développement de la vie des affaires. Son uniformisation ou son harmonisation est à prendre en compte pour une efficacité des contrats dans la zone OHADA et de l’Afrique en général ; d’autant plus que le droit positif de ses pays membres, en matière de théorie générale des contrats n'est pas formellement uniformisé. Il est urgent d’entamer une réforme !Toutefois, il y a lieu de préciser qu’un certain nombre de projets allant dans le sens de l’harmonisation du droit des contrats ont été abandonnés ou non aboutis notamment l’avant-projet d’acte uniforme OHADA sur le droit des contrats ou encore le projet portant droit général des Obligations. Ces abandons suscitent des questionnements que nous essaierons de répondre au cours de nos développements à travers une approche historique, critique et comparativeThe legal framework is important for improving the economic situation ; it defines progress or decline of the business climate in a country or space. Thus the Organization for the Harmonization in Africa of Business Law has set itself goal in a more or less long term economic development of Africa in general and of its member states in particular. Therefore, it must have rules contributing to the establishment of legal and judicial security in order to promote business investment in the Africa area.It is in this context that OHADA has adopted rules that can framed the development of business in this area. These rules, known as uniform acts, are currently ten, but not one of these uniform acts refers to general contract law. While general contract is fundamental basis of business development of business. Its uniformisation or harmonization must be considered for efficient contracts in OHADA zone and Africa in general. Furthermore, member states of OHADA do not have standardized general contractuel field. This clearly shows how urgently reform is needed!However, it should be notified that a number of projects steps towards the harmonization of contract law have been abandoned or not completed, in particular the preliminary draft OHADA Uniform Act on Contract Law and the project relating to the general law of obligations. These abandonments raise many questions that we will try to solve during our developments through historical, critical and comparative approach

The Organisation for the Harmonisation of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) was established for the purpose of restoring legal and judicial security in the region to attract more investment. The OHADA Treaty included certain areas of business law within its ambit but omitted investment law. There are several laws on investment in the region at the national, regional and sub-regional level that regulate the treatment of foreign investments such as CEMAC and UEMOA investment charters. Moreover OHADA states sign BITs to protect foreign investments. The relationship between the different sub regional laws on investment and OHADA is not yet clear but case law suggests that CEMAC and UEMOA courts recognise the supremacy of OHADA law and their lack of competence to hear matters regulated under OHADA. The standards of protection granted by OHADA states in BITs are very high thus taxing on them. This thesis suggests that OHADA states should either qualify these standards of protection or replace them with more specific provisions. The OHADA system of arbitration cannot effectively settle investment disputes arising out of a BIT leaving international arbitration systems such as ICSID as the best alternative to resolve investment disputes arising out of BITs.

Comme un organisme vivant, l'entreprise naît, vit, et peut être le siège de désordres divers, dont les plus graves sont susceptibles de provoquer sa disparition. Ce qui ne saurait laisser indifférent tout législateur soucieux de l'équilibre socioéconomique et de la sécurité des transactions. C'est ainsi que de nos jours, la finalité traditionnelle du droit de la faillite, à savoir, le désintéressement des créanciers, sans pour autant disparaître complètement, est passé au second plan, derrière le souci de la sauvegarde et de la continuité de l'exploitation commerciale. Divers instruments juridiques sont alors déployés dans le but d'éviter la cessation des paiements du débiteur qui connaît des difficultés.C'est dans ce contexte que s'inscrit le concordat préventif prévu par l'Acte Uniforme de l'OHADA, relatif au droit des procédures collectives d'apurement du passif. Il s'agit d'un instrument de nature hybride, mi-conventionnel, mi-judiciaire, accordé à l'issue d'une procédure dite de règlement préventif au débiteur qui, sans être en cessation des paiements, connaît une situation économique et financière difficile, mais non irrémédiablement compromise. C'est donc un accord librement négocié et arrêté entre le débiteur et certains de ces créanciers et auquel l'intervention du juge confère la force exécutoire. Toutefois, le dispositif mis en place par le législateur africain souffre de certaines carences de nature à l'empêcher d'atteindre son but de prévention et de résolution des difficultés des entreprises. L'une des causes de l'inefficacité du concordat préventif est l'imprécision du critère d'admissibilité, ce qui a pour effet une ouverture tardive du processus, qui, à son tour, influe négativement sur l'exécution du concordat une fois conclu et homologué. Il s'est dès lors avéré utile d'explorer de nouvelles pistes pouvant conduire à une plus grande efficacité en matière de sauvegarde des entreprises en difficulté dans l'espace OHADA.

Full textAbstract:
Le contrat est juste parce que les parties l'ont voulu. Cette idée qui a longtemps prévalu en droit des contrats y est encore bien présente. Avec les mutations économiques, sociales, environnementales et technologiques observées, elle s'est émoussée au profit d'un interventionnisme protecteur, la volonté n'étant plus à même d'assurer exclusivement la sauvegarde des intérêts contractuels. Aujourd'hui, le volontarisme et le protectionnisme ne suffisent plus à assurer la sauvegarde de tous les intérêts contractuels en présence. Il fallait donc à nouveau repenser autrement le contrat. Pour le doyen Carbonnier, « seul le civisme contractuel (la conformité du contrat à l'ordre public et aux bonnes mœurs) représente une exigence absolument générale de validité, le minimum de conformisme social requis de tous les contractants». L'idée de civisme, consubstantielle à la notion de contrat, se révèle alors progressivement en la matière, dans les droits nationaux comme dans les regroupements étatiques tel le droit européen et de l'OHADA. Bien qu'implicite, le civisme contractuel est affirmé dans les sources de ces ordres juridiques et son contenu hétérogène est identifiable. Par ailleurs, le civisme contractuel a vocation à s'appliquer à tous les contrats de droit privé; à toutes les phases contractuelles, quand bien même il serait plus manifeste lors de l'exécution du contrat. Il s'impose aux contractants et aux interprètes tels le juge et l'arbitre; et contribue non seulement à l'accroissement de leurs pouvoirs, mais également à la sécurisation du lien contractuel. Ainsi, le civisme contractuel ne saurait être limité, comme l'entrevoyait son illustre géniteur le doyen Carbonnier, à une condition extrinsèque de validité du contrat tenant à son contenu. Il s'agit d'un principe général du droit des contrats, complémentaire des principes actuels à l'instar du libéralisme et du solidarisme contractuels, et dont la nécessaire consécration textuelle peut être relativisée. La violation des droits et obligations que véhicule le civisme contractuel est sanctionnée selon que l'intérêt en cause est général ou particulier, l'idée étant de maintenir le contrat tant que son exécution reste possible, ou d'accélérer sa disparition lorsqu'il est établi que son maintien risque de porter atteinte aux intérêts contractuels en présenceThe "contract" is just because both parties wanted it. This idea has long prevailed in contract law and is still very present. With the observed economic, social, environmental and technological transformations, it is blunted in favour of a protective interventionism, the will no longer being to ensure exclusively the protection of the contractual interests. Today, voluntarism and protectionism are not enough to ensure the safety of all contractual interests. It is therefore necessary to think otherwise of a contract. According to Dean Carbonnier, «on/y the contractual citizenship (contract compliance ta public order and morality) represents an absolutely general validity requirement, the minimum social conformity required of al! contractors». The idea of citizenship, consubstantial with the notion of contract, reveals itself gradually on the matter, under national law, as in the state groupings such as the European law and OHADA. Though implicit, contractual citizenship is stated in the sources of these legal systems and its heterogeneous content is identifiable and recognizable. Moreover, the contractual citizenship authority to apply to all contracts of private law; to all contractual phases, even though it would be more evident during the execution of the contract. It binds the contracting parties and interpreters such the judge and arbitrator, and contribute" not only to help increasing their powers, but also to the security and reassurance of contractual relationship. Thus, the contractual citizenship could not be limited, as foreseen by the illustrious sire Dean Carbonnier, to an extrinsic condition of validity of the contract relating to the content. It is about a general principle of contract law, complementary to the existing principles like liberalism and contractual solidarity, and whose necessary textual dedication can be relativized. The violation of rights and obligations which conveys the contractual citizenship is sanctioned according to whether the interest in question is general or private, the idea being to maintain the contract so long as its execution remains possible, or to accelerate its disappearance when established that its maintenance likely infringe or affect the contractual persons involved

A l’heure d’une évaluation constante de la vie internationale des affaires, le droit des affaires est devenu un puissant instrument de croissance économique et d’attractivité des investissements. Dans ce contexte, le droit uniforme africain des affaires est un droit ambitieux qui fait rêver l’Afrique. Fort de ses atouts, le droit OHADA se veut attractif et compétitif sur le marché mondial du droit devenu hautement concurrentiel, afin d’attirer les investisseurs étrangers et consolider les investissements nationaux, en facilitant et en sécurisant les opérations d’échange et d’investissement. Pour autant, en dépit d’une volonté forte et d’un choix pleinement assumé de faire du droit uniforme une sorte de synthèse de plusieurs systèmes juridiques, au terme de plus de deux décennies de vie juridique, les résultats sont encore loin des espérances. Qu’il s’agisse de la promotion du droit africain de l’arbitrage en matière des différends d’affaires ou de l’essor des investissements étrangers sur lesquels l’OHADA a fondé d’immenses espoirs, le droit uniforme des contrats d’affaires connaît un succès mitigé. Mieux, il voit son horizon s’obscurcir. Ces constats suscitent une problématique fondamentale inhérente aux piliers du temple contractuel OHADA. A travers le prisme du traitement des contrats d’affaires, il est alors permis de s’interroger sur l’aptitude du droit uniforme à réellement faciliter la pratique des affaires, en assurant la sécurité et l’efficacité des contrats d’affaires : le droit OHADA répond-il théoriquement et empiriquement aux problématiques contractuelles contemporaines de la vie africaine des affaires ? Certains concepts juridiques classiques ne mériteraient-ils pas aujourd’hui d’être repensés autrement en droit africain des affaires ? En mettant en exergue ses atouts, ses insuffisances et ses crises actuelles, à travers une approche critique, prospective et comparée, l’analyse du traitement des contrats d’affaires vise à repenser profondément la codification africaine du droit des affairesIn today's context of constant assessment of international corporate life, corporate law has become a powerful instrument of the economic growth and investment efficiency. In this context, cohesive African corporate law is an ambitious regulation which is inspiring for Africa. Building on its strenghts, OHADA law is meant to be attractive and competitive on the now very competitive global law market, in order to attract foreign investors and strengthen national investments by facilitating and securing exchange and investment operations.Nonetheless, despite strong will and a fully assumed choice to make cohesive law a sort of synthesis of several legal systems, after two decades of existence outcomes remain far from expectations. Whether regarding the promotion of African arbitration law on business disputes or the rise of foreign investment on which the OHADA had high hopes, cohesive business contract law achieves limited success. Moreover, it sees its horizon darkened.These findings elicit a fundamental issue inherent to the pillars of the OHADA contractual temple. Through the prism of business contract processing, one may legitimately question the ability of cohesive law to actually facilitate the course of business, by assuring the security and efficiency of these contracts: does OHADA law theoretically and empirically address contemporary contractual issues inherent to African business life? Should some traditional legal concepts be reconsidered nowadays in African corporate law?By emphasising its strengths, weaknesses and current turmoil, via a critical, prospective and compared approach, the analysis of business contract processing aims to thoroughly rethink the African codification of law

Full textAbstract:
Les actes juridiques privés sont des titres exécutoires pour lesquels l’acte fondamental sur lequel est apposé la formule exécutoire est un acte juridique privé. C’est le cas des actes notariés, des accords homologués par un juge, des procès-verbaux de conciliation exécutoires, du procès-verbal de non-paiement d’un chèque impayé rendu exécutoire par l’huissier de justice. La loi Macron ajoute à cette famille de titre exécutoire les accords homologués par un huissier de justice pour les petites créances. La procédure d’établissement de ces titres exécutoires se déroule sans aucun contrôle juridictionnel. Dès lors, il est question de savoir si les conditions d’établissement et de mise en œuvre des actes juridiques privés exécutoires sont satisfaisantes au regard, d’une part des critères de définition et des effets du titre exécutoire et d’autre part de l’exigence du respect des droits fondamentaux aussi bien procéduraux que substantiels ? Si non, existe-t-il un remède légal et/ou jurisprudentiel à cette insuffisance ? Celui-ci le cas échéant, est-il satisfaisant ?The private legal acts are writs of execution for which the fundamental act on which is affixed the enforceable formula is a private legal act. It is the case of notarial acts, agreements approved by a judge, enforceable reports(fines) of conciliation, by report(fine) of nonpayment of an unpaid check made enforceable by the bailiff. The law Macron adds to this family of writ of execution the agreements approved by a bailiff for the small claims(debts).The procedure of establishment of these writs of execution takes place without any jurisdictional control. From then on, it is about to know if the conditions of establishment and implementation of the enforceable private legal acts are satisfactory in the look, on one hand the criteria of definition and effects of the writ of execution and on the other hand the requirement of the respect for the fundamental rights so procedural as substantial? If not, there is a legal and/or case law remedy in this insufficiency? Is this one where necessary, satisfactory?

In a region where there is diversity of laws, the author maintains that law reform is a catalyst for investment and development. This thesis aims at demonstrating that OHADA provides practical lessons for the development of a uniform commercial law structure in the SADC. This is following OHADA’s success in developing uniform commercial rules that are directly applicable in the contracting states. To achieve this, the thesis uses a “structured focused comparison” methodology that allows for two separate, but structurally linked accounts of the structures of both organisations. In exploring the structures of both organisations, the thesis endeavours to: determine whether there is the need for the development of a commercial law structure in the SADC; whether such a structure can be developed within the current SADC structure and whether OHADA can serve as a possible model for the SADC.
The findings show that no part of the African continent has witnessed regional legal reform on the scale of that initiated by OHADA. It equally reveals the absence of a uniform commercial law structure in the SADC and the lack of supranational structures to adopt full panoply of business laws and to preserve the uniformity of laws in the member states. The findings from this thesis provide evidence that there is the need forthe development of a commercial law structure in the SADC and improvement of the current SADC structure. There is no doubt that thi swould do away with legal uncertainty in cross-border commercial transactions among SADC states.Thesis (LLD)--University of Pretoria, 2013.

Full textAbstract:
Soucieux de moderniser le droit de l’arbitrage, le législateur OHADA a adopté des règles particulièrement libérales. Cette approche conforme à la protection des investisseurs, a été généralisée à toute forme d’arbitrage. Il s’ensuit que les règles visant à protéger une partie en position de faiblesse vis-à-vis de son contradicteur ont été peu envisagées. Qu’il s’agisse de la convention d’arbitrage ou du procès arbitral, le sort du faible n’a pas fait l’objet d’une attention particulière. En conséquence, en dépit de nombreuses avancées quant au régime de l’accord arbitral ou du déroulement du procès, le droit OHADA devrait être révisé dans la perspective de pondérer son libéralisme chaque fois la protection du faible est légitime. Cette démarche n’aura de sens que si le législateur OHADA adapte le droit de l’arbitrage à son environnement sociologique et économiqueIn order to modernize arbitration law, the OHADA lawmaker adopted particularly liberal rules. This approach complies with the protection of investors, has been generalized to all forms of arbitration proceedings. It follows that the rules designed to protect a party in a weakness position vis-à-vis his opponent has been little considered. Whether the arbitration agreement or of the arbitral proceedings, the fate of the weak is not the subject of special attention. Accordingly, despite many advances as to the regime of the arbitration agreement or conduct of the trial, the OHADA law should be amended in order to mitigate its liberalism whenever the protection of the weak party is legitimate. This approach will only make sense if the OHADA lawmaker adapts the arbitration law to its sociological and economic environment

Full textAbstract:
A la fois instrument de financement et de développement, la technique du financement de projet est de plus en plus utilisée dans les États membres de l'Organisation pour l'Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires (OHADA). Cependant, en raison de la complexité de son cadre juridique, conséquence de l'hétérogénéité des sources et des règles qui lui sont applicables, sa mise en œuvre se révèle difficile. Pour y remédier, une intégration de ce cadre, à travers notamment l'uniformisation des sources et des règles, et l'amélioration des modalités de sa mise en œuvre s'impose. A cet effet, le Traité OHADA pourrait être utilement mobilisé. Les financements de projet entrent clairement dans le spectre de ses compétences et compléteraient les huit Actes uniformes déjà en vigueur dans cette région d'AfriqueConsidered both as a financing and development instrument, the technique of project finance is more and more used in the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHBLA) members states. However, because of the complexity of its legal framework, consequence of the heterogeneity of sources and rules that are apply to it, its implementation remains difficult. To solve this problem, an integration of the above mentioned framework, in particular, through the unification of sources and rules, as well as the improvement of the mechanisms of its implementation looks necessary. In that regard, the OHBLA Treaty could be usefully mobilized. Indeed, Project finance falls clearly in its sphere of competences and could therefore complete the eight Uniform Acts that are already enforce in that area of Africa

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes the relationship between the Organisation pour l’Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires (OHADA; the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa) and the Hague Principles. OHADA is an African supranational organization which was created on October 17, 1993. As per the Preamble and Article 1 of the OHADA Treaty, OHADA aims at creating simple, modern, and harmonized business law rules in Africa. To achieve this goal, OHADA has five institutions: (i) the Conference of Heads of State and Government; (ii) the Council of Ministers; (iii) the Common Court of Justice and Arbitration; (iv) the Regional Training Centre for Legal Officers; and (v) the Permanent Secretariat. Uniform Acts are the main instrument of OHADA. To understand the rules governing choice of law in commercial international contracts under OHADA law, it is important to examine the relation between the acts of OHADA (Uniform Acts and regulations) and the domestic law of the Member States. Meanwhile, there is no uniform codification of private international law under OHADA law. The chapter then explains that the Working Group on the Preliminary Draft Uniform Act on the Law of Obligations in the OHADA Region in 2015 did not use the Hague Principles, and why this omission should be reversed.

Full textAbstract:
In a world driven by credit, a speedy resolution of insolvency will build predictability and commercial confidence among credit providers, resulting in increased credit and reduced borrowing costs, facilitating the resuscitation of viable businesses, thereby maximizing the going concern value and preserving jobs, and also benefit entrepreneurs and lower the rate of liquidation of distressed firms. With this, the chapter employs one argument that Cameroon has not registered a success in the resolution of insolvency. The purpose of this chapter, therefore, is to highlight and discuss the reasons behind the poor performance of the country in resolving insolvency. The value of this chapter lies in the contribution it makes in the understanding of the OHADA legal framework on insolvency and improvement of the country's performance in the Doing Business ranking on insolvency.

In ASME 2017 Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/pvp2017-66096.
Full textAbstract:
Material failure and plastic instability are currently in ASME and EN pressure vessel and piping standards prevented by applying experience-based safety factors. Due to the few existing experimental test results and the inaccuracy of the incorporated design equations, these safety factors are quite high. In particular, modern high strength steels are penalized because of the small yield-to-tensile ratio. Apart from monotonic loading conditions, an economical design of pressurized components to prevent material failure due to ultra-low-cycle fatigue (ULCF) is a big topic. Experimental tests are in general very expensive and not suitable for the common design. Therefore, a numerical based prediction of the actual burst pressure and the resistance against strong cyclic loading conditions would be favourable. During the last decades innovative damage mechanics concepts have been developed and successfully validated in the scope of structural and plant engineering. Depending on the size of the component and the applied loading condition, several different damage mechanics models are available. During the studies presented in this paper, a phenomenological damage mechanics model proposed by Bai and Wierzbicki has been utilized. It has been developed to describe the material failure in the upper shelf of the toughness temperature transition curve in case of monotonic loading conditions. Considering an extension based on the effective strain concept proposed by Ohata and Toyoda, the combined model is also able to predict failure in the range of ULCF. The presented work aims at validating the accurate numerical prediction of failure by using this damage mechanics model. Validation is performed by comparing numerical and experimental results of a burst test of a pressure vessel and cyclic deformation tests of almost constant pressurized bended pipes. The pressure vessel made of HSLA steel P690Q had a length of 3.0 m, a diameter of 1.2 m and a wall thickness of 50 mm. Tests on bended pipes can be separated in two series. A first series made of steel X60 with a diameter of 16 “ and a wall thickness of 9.5 mm as well as a second series made of steel X65 with a diameter of 8.625 “ and a wall thickness of 5.6 mm. The comparison of experimental and numerical results shows an acutely satisfying prediction of failure. Both, time point and location of failure coincide well. Mesh size dependency must be considered but the approach seems to be promising for further applications.
