In detail, Article 1 creates a new legal regime allowing people who have participated in violent collective action during which damage was committed to be held jointly and severally responsible, even without establishing that they are the direct perpetrators.
During the debates, several amendments aimed at raising the ceilings were rejected during the session.
In the middle of the evening, senators adopted the provisions of a bill creating a new regime of joint and several civil liability for participants in violent collective actions.
This controversial text aims to allow public authorities to incur civil liability against individuals who have remained in a gathering that has caused damage, and to claim recovery of damages.
The rest of the bill still reserves numerous controversial provisions, like its article 4. The latter provides for a deduction from family allowances, personal housing assistance or the RSA for the recovery of damages in the event of the conviction of a demonstrator.
