Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA plaintiff sued a driver for damages resulting from a traffic accident, arguing the driver was at fault for failing to yield the right-of-way to a vehicle already on a primary road when turning left across the intersection. The Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision, affirming that the trial judge correctly applied the law by finding the turning driver solely responsible because the vehicle already in the intersection, having priority, was entitled to continue its path without obstruction, regardless of the speed or manner of its approach.
