Allegro: OK but then I think you and I may differ somewhat in our approach to translating. I try to find the closest functional equivalent in the target language, even if, as is usually the case, the terms are not identical. That is what I have done here.

To Rufinus: just a comment; whilst I agree that "quasi tort" is not a recognised term in English law, the purpose here is not to "convert" to an English term - it is to express the meaning of a French one

Torts generally fall into two categories: intentional torts, and negligence. There are others listed in Black's but they're unusual, and don't translate the headline French terms. Quasi tort isn't a recognized term of English law, according to Black's.

Can it be "Tort" (well that seems clear!)and
"Involuntary tort" as this seems to be the Article 1382 and 1386 variation?

"Quasi-tort" appears to relate to invasion of privacy.
