Abstract

In the revision of French Civil Code on February 10, 2016, a third type of duress was accepted, according to which it is an abuse of the status of dependence. In the emergence of this type, regardless of the human phenomenon, external events and conditions also play roles. The state of dependence may be economic, informational, technological, and psychological. This kind of duress is known as economic duress. However, our civil law does not state the issue of whether or not the abuse of the status quo is annexation to duress. However, efforts have been made by the doctrine to justify it which is not enough. Therefore, the fundamental question is whether the economic duress enshrined in French civil law can be accepted in our legal system. The authors of this paper concluded that in addition to the fact that there is no obstacle to the acceptance of this institution in our law, it is even considered as one of the gaps in our civil law, which is required to be considered in future revisions.
