Popis: EnglishAbusive terms and litigation costs allocation Unfair terms have been prohibited by French law in consumer contracts since 1978 and in all standard form contracts since 2016. In both cases, the sanction consists in considering the clause unenforceable. This sanction does not deter the drafter from inserting unfair terms in the contract. We are interested in an alternative sanction, according to which the drafter bears all litigation costs. We build on a standard Cournot model of competition in quantities, in which we add unfair terms as well as the parties’ expenses in litigation costs. We show that the English rule helps to deter the drafter of the contract from inserting unfair terms. francaisLes clauses abusives sont interdites dans les contrats de consommation depuis 1978 et dans l’ensemble des contrats d’adhesion depuis 2016. Dans les deux cas, la sanction consiste a reputer la clause non ecrite. Cette sanction ne permet pas de dissuader le redacteur d’inserer des clauses abusives. Nous nous interessons a une sanction alternative consistant a faire peser sur le redacteur du contrat l’integralite des frais de litige. Nous partons d’un modele standard de concurrence a la Cournot, dans lequel nous integrons des clauses abusives ainsi que les depenses des parties en frais de litige. Nous montrons que la regle anglaise permet de dissuader le redacteur du contrat d’inserer des clauses abusives. Classification JEL : K10, K12, K13, K41, D01.
