French law – III. Mixed rights

Mixed rights are halfway between public and private law, because they include elements of both public and private law.

A. Criminal law

Criminal law concerns all the rules relating to
offenses.

It is both a private law because it protects individuals
(safeguarding the interest of individuals) and a public law because the State
punishes individuals (protection of the general interest).

B. Processual law

Procedural law includes three types of procedures: civil procedure, administrative procedures and criminal procedure.

It is both a private law because it governs legal actions and a public law because it governs the functioning of the courts.

C. European Union law

European Union law brings together the fundamental texts of the European Union and the union and the acts of the institutions of the European Union.

It is both a private law because it governs private relations between citizens of the European Union and a public law because it governs the functioning of the functioning of the institutions of the European Union.
