"Mémoire présenté à la faculté des études supérieures en vue de l'obtention du grade de maîtrise en droit des affaires LLM" / Ce mémoire analyse l'introduction et l'application de la notion d'entreprise dans le Code de commerce français et dans le Code civil du Québec. En adoptant cette notion, les deux législateurs avaient pour objet principal de pallier à la désuétude de principes traditionnels du droit commercial et d'ajuster leurs législations aux nouvelles mutations économiques et sociales. Ainsi, est évoquée présentement, en France comme au Québec, la notion d'entreprise. Cependant, force est de constater que le rôle donné à cette notion de même que le contexte dans lequel elle s'applique ne sont pas les mêmes dans les deux législations. Dans le C.c.Q., la notion d'entreprise a remplacé définitivement la notion de commerce afin d'élargir le champ d'application des règles dérogatoires propres au monde des affaires. Quant au législateur français, bien qu'il ait introduit l'entreprise dans la plupart des règles des affaires, il a opté pour le maintien du droit commercial. Dès lors, l'accent sera mis sur la méthode poursuivie par chacune des deux législations quant à l'adoption et l'application de la notion d'entreprise ainsi que sur les difficultés et les avantages inhérents à chaque démarche. La conclusion tirée de cette étude montre que les deux expériences sont aux antipodes l'une de l'autre en ce qui concerne l'état actuel de droit de chaque législation suite à l'adoption de la notion d'entreprise. En gardant la notion de commerce, le législateur français profite toujours d'une stabilité juridique certaine dérivant notamment d'un bagage doctrinal et jurisprudentiel notable, lié au droit commercial. Toutefois, cette stabilité est faite au détriment d'une structure juridique cohérente et logique. Par contre, le C.c.Q. repose sur des règles juridiques homogènes et rationnelles dignes d'un système juridique évolué. Cependant, il essuie plusieurs difficultés quant à l'interprétation et l'application de la nouvelle notion, étant donné la nouveauté de la réforme. / An analysis of the implementation of the notion of enterprise in the French Commercial Code and the Civil Code of Quebec is undertaken in this study. By adopting the concept of enterprise, both legislators wanted to overcome the obsolescence of the traditional principles of the commercial law and adjust their legislations to the modem economic and social mutations. Thus, this concept is currently referred to in France and in Quebec. However, it would be a flaw to accept the adoption and implementation of the concept of enterprise as the same in France and in Quebec. Indeed, in the Civil Code of Quebec, the enterprise concept replaced completely the concept of commerce to widen the realm of application of the rules applied in the business world. On the other hand, despite the adoption of this concept on most of the business regulations, the French legislator chose to preserve the commercial law. The emphasis in this thesis is to contrast the two paths taken by France and Quebec to adopt and implement the concept of enterprise and to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each path. This study concludes that the two experiences are in contradiction with regard to the current state of law in France and in Quebec after adopting the notion of enterprise. By safeguarding the notion of commerce, the French legislator still profiting from stable juridical system derived essentially from the commercial law's doctrine and jurisprudence. However, this stability was maintained at the cost of a logical and coherent legal structure. On the other hand, the Civil Code of Quebec is based on rational and homogeneous rules that correspond to a modern legal system. Nevertheless, given the novelty of the legal reforms, many challenges arise when it cornes to the application and interpretation of the new concept of enterprise.

La société en nom collectif est au XVIIIe siècle la forme juridique de société la plus utilisée en France. À la fois société de personnes et société de commerce elle a des antécédents qui ont assuré sa notoriété et qui ont consacré l’usage qu’en font les marchands et les négociants. Elle figure ainsi dans l’ordonnance du commerce de 1673 sous le nom de « société générale » car elle est choisie par la plupart de ceux qui veulent créer une société. Alors que les associés en nom collectif affichent publiquement leurs noms et sont responsables sur tous leurs biens des dettes de la société, les autres sociétés de l’époque que ce soit les commandites ou les sociétés anonymes ont à l’inverse des associés qui restent le plus souvent dans l’ombre. Cette situation ambiguë n’est pas sans conséquences. Les nombreux changements qui marqueront le XVIIIe siècle n’ébranleront pas cependant la société en nom collectif dans ses assises et sa solidité. La cohérence de son modèle lui assurera même sa pérennité alors que le Code de commerce de 1807 tenant compte des évolutions intervenues depuis l’ordonnance de 1673 changera les dispositions concernant les sociétés sans modifier pour autant celles relatives à la société en nom collectif. En utilisant de nombreux textes issus des sources de l’époque, les principales caractéristiques de cette société et les motifs qui ont conduit les commerçants à l’adopter comme cadre juridique de leurs activités ont été recherchés à travers une grande variété d’exemples. Cette approche a conduit également à examiner son mode de fonctionnement afin d’apprécier les conditions et les moyens de son développement. Enfin, la société en nom collectif a été analysée à travers les difficultés auxquelles elle était confrontée du fait de ses associés ou de celles résultant de sa dissolution qu’elle soit voulue ou subie. Dans ce contexte, la société en nom collectif est présentée, tour à tour, dans ses fondements, dans ses affaires et dans ses épreuves. / The most common form of partnership used in France during the eighteenth century was general partnership, société en nom collectif. As a partnership and trade model it was already well known and was used by both the merchant and the business communities. The 1673 commercial order, ordonnance du commerce, refers to it as a general partnership because this was the form most commonly chosen to create a company/partnership. Whereas the names of the partners in a general partnership were in the public domain, with these partners assuming unlimited liability for company debt, the names of partners in other forms of company at that time, such as limited partnerships or anonymous companies, generally remained undisclosed. Although this ambiguous situation was to have consequences, the various changes taking place during the 18th century did not affect the basic principles of the general partnership, with the model remaining unchanged under the 1807 Commercial Code review of partnerships: acknowledgement of the fact that it was a coherent and durable model. A wide variety of companies was examined by referring to 18th century French records in order to evaluate the main characteristics of these companies and the reasons why business people opted for this model. This research involved examining the ways in which such partnerships were created and built and the conditions required for their growth and development, as well as management of risk. In addition, this company model was examined in relation to difficulties arising from both loss of partners and winding up of business activity, whether voluntary or involuntary. This study examines the foundations, scope and risks and difficulties encountered by general partnerships.

O presente trabalho trata de alguns temas do debate jurídico da primeira metade do século XIX. Estes temas são analisados a partir da participação do magistrado e político José Clemente Pereira. É o momento do esforço de criação de uma legislação nacional, necessária em decorrência do rompimento dos laços com Portugal. Nascido em Portugal em 1787, formado em Coimbra, Clemente Pereira imigrou para o Brasil em 1815. Rapidamente ascendeu nos negócios e na carreira política, participando das articulações que levaram à independência e se tornando muito influente na capital fluminense em razão de negócios no mercado de gêneros de abastecimento e de sua atuação como advogado dos grandes comerciantes da Corte. Foi juiz de fora, deputado geral, ministro do império, da guerra e da marinha, senador, conselheiro de estado e presidente do primeiro Tribunal do Comércio do Brasil. A partir dessas posições participou e influenciou vários debates sobre temas políticos e jurídicos, entre os quais escolhemos três: a criação da lei de responsabilidade dos ministros de Estado, de 1827; os debates sobre o Código Criminal do Império, criado em 1830, e do Código Comercial, de 1850. Os debates mostram os desafios que estavam colocados para a formação do Estado e da nação brasileiros, num contexto de transformação do direito representado pelo moderno ideário de codificação, e mudanças na política, com a crescente centralização do poder monárquico, mas também com sua limitação a partir do advento do constitucionalismo. / This paper aims at discussing some aspects of the legal debate that took place during the first half of the XIXth Century. Said aspects are assessed from the moment Justice and Politician José Clemente Pereira appears in the public scenario. It is the moment when strengths are gathered to create a national legislation, then mandatory due to the rupture of bonds with Portugal. Born in Portugal in 1787, graduate at the University of Coimbra, Clemente Pereira immigrated to Brazil in 1815. He rapidly gained importance as a businessman and as a politician, taking part in the discussions that lead to the Independence and becoming quite influential in the Court due to his business and his work as an attorney for major traders. He was a judge, congressman, a ministry of the Empire, of War and Navy, a Senator, a State Counselor, and the Chairman of the first Board of Trade of Brazil. After occupying the afore mentioned positions, he acted as an influential player in several debates about legal and political matters, among which we chose three: the creation of the act of liability for ministries of State of 1827; the debates on the Criminal Code of the Empire, created in 1830, and of the Commercial Code of 1850. The debates show the challenges that were set for the establishment of the Brazilian State and Nation, in a context of transformation of the Law represented by the modern set of codification ideas and changes in politics, with the growing centralization of monarchical power, but also with its limitation, starting with the onset of constitutionalism.

Ao lado da liberdade de expressão, a Constituição de 1824 garantiu o direito da sociedade se fazer ouvir pelas autoridades: o Artigo 179, parágrafo 30 estabelece que todo o cidadão poderá apresentar por escrito ao Poder Legislativo e ao Executivo reclamações, queixas, ou petições. A presente dissertação tem por objetivo compreender como este direito constitucional foi utilizado pelos cidadãos brasileiros durante o período em que a ordem monárquica constitucional se consolidava no Brasil. Durante os primeiros anos do Segundo Reinado, diversos grupos comerciantes, médicos, advogados, manufatureiros, autoridades locais, padres, proprietários de terra, votantes, eleitores etc. estabeleceram uma relação direta com a elite política que moldava as instituições do Império. A análise das petições que chegaram à Câmara dos Deputados na década de 1840 e do debate parlamentar que nela se desenvolveu indica que importantes mudanças políticas do período como a reforma eleitoral, a aprovação do Código Comercial, a reforma judiciária foram influenciadas por setores da sociedade brasileira que se organizaram para exercer o direito de petição. Por intermédio da atividade peticionária, governantes e governados se integraram em um diálogo que permeou a resolução de alguns dos mais relevantes assuntos concernentes à realidade brasileira. Este diálogo fez do ideal do regime representativo algo tangível para diversos setores que compunham o pacto político nacional. / Together with the freedom of thought and speech, the Constitution of 1824 provided Brazilian society with the right to be heard by authorities: Article 179, Paragraph 30 states that all citizens will be able to present to the Legislative or the Executive Power written grievances, complaints, or petitions. This dissertation attempts to explore how this constitutional right was used by Brazilian citizens during the time that monarchical order was being consolidated. During the reign of D. Pedro 2nd, many groups, including businessmen, manufacturers, doctors, lawyers, local authorities, priests, landowners, voters, electors, and others, established a direct relation with the political elite responsible for molding the new institutions. The analysis of the petitions sent to the Chamber of Deputies by the 1840s and the parliamentary debate ensued provide an indication that important political changes of that period (i.e., electoral reform, approval of the Commercial Code, judicial reform) were influenced by the participation of certain sections of Brazilian society that were able to organize themselves and successfully use their right of petition. Mediated by such petitionary activity, governors and governed took part in a dialogue that led to the resolution of some of the most important issues concerning Brazilian reality. That dialogue made the ideal of representative government tangible to many groups that formed the prevailing national political landscape.

In order to handle this analysis, it was used, as methodological support, the exploratory research with deductive and investigative approach; also, the bibliography research technique was used, with a theory reference based on secondary sources, especially the doctrine and jurisprudence are taken into consideration. As the organization is concerned, the paper is divided in six chapters, which are considered essential to cover the theme proposed herein. Thus, in the first chapter, the system of consortiums to acquire assets and services is discussed. The second is dedicated to the study of the principle sustaining the consume relations under the Federal Constitution, also mentioning the Consumer Code. In the sequence, the third chapter guides us to the definition, principles and peculiarities of Consumer s contracts, ending with the standard contracts analysis and the general contractual clauses. The fourth and fifth chapters talk about the contract and the contract of consortiums in relation to the UCC. The sixth and last chapters explore, inside the scope of the research, the role of the agency of consortiums and the Central Bank in Brazil when faced with the disciplinary measures of the Consortium Law and the UCC. From the study, it is possible to conclude that even though there is uncertainty concerning the jurisprudence, specifically as the administrative fee charges are concerned, the new legislation has brought harmony for the interested parties, strengthening the balance between the contract and its social function, with benefits for the civil society and specially in the sake of the consumer / Analisar o papel da administradora de consórcios e do Bacen, tendo por base a Lei dos Consórcios Lei nº 11.795, de 8 de outubro de 2008 e o regramento do Código de Defesa do Consumidor é, ao mesmo tempo, tema central e principal objetivo da presente dissertação. Para dar conta desta tarefa utilizou-se, como suporte metodológico, a pesquisa exploratória de abordagem investigativa dedutiva e a técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica, com referencial teórico baseado em fontes secundárias, especialmente a doutrina e jurisprudência especializadas. Quanto à organização, o trabalho está dividido em seis capítulos, considerados essenciais para circundar a temática então proposta. Assim, no primeiro capítulo, discorre-se sobre o sistema de consórcios para aquisição de bens e serviços. O segundo se dedica ao estudo da principiologia que dá sustentação às relações de consumo a partir da Constituição Federal, espraiando-se para o Código consumerista. Em seguida, no terceiro capítulo, o estudo envereda para a definição, princípios e peculiaridades dos contratos de consumo, terminando com o contrato de adesão e as cláusulas gerais contratuais. O quarto e quinto capítulos abordam o contrato e o contrato de consórcios em relação ao CDC. O sexto e último capítulo explora, dentro do escopo da pesquisa, o papel das administradoras de consórcio e do Bacen diante das disciplinas da Lei dos Consórcios e do CDC. Do estudo, retira-se que, não obstante a incerteza em sede jurisprudencial, especificamente, quanto à cobrança das taxas de administração, a nova legislação trouxe harmonia para os interesses das partes, fortalecendo o equilíbrio do contrato e sua função social, com benefícios à sociedade civil e, em especial, à tutela do consumidor
