Legifrance: In French: "En ce qui concerne les instituteurs, les fautes, imprudences ou négligences invoquées contre eux comme ayant causé le fait dommageable, devront être prouvées, conformément au droit commun, par le demandeur, à l'instance." In English: "As to teachers, the fault, imprudence, or negligence invoked against them as having caused the damaging act will have to be proven by the plaintiff at the trial in accordance with the general law." |
