FIND OUT MOREPartner Sylvie Gallage-Alwis and associate Deborah Azerraf discuss the worrying trend of the development of anxiety damage before French Courts outside the scope of asbestos-related litigation, asking the question as to whether companies should be the ones targeted by such claims and hoping that courts will apply the principles of civil liability and not a "presumption against companies" based approach. The article was published in Option Droit et Affaires, 1 July 2020, and can be found here. A version of this article was published in The Barrister, 19 August 2020, and can be found here.
