Abstract:
Each country has its own manners. This is also valid for the different concepts of the French and German law when the contractual object is inadmissible. First, the contents of the public policy and the morality are examined. In contrast to the Code civil, the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB) doesn't mention the public policy, but both legal texts refer to the morality. In addition, the BGB doesn't use the term of the 'causa'. In France, this concept had once led to deep controversies in doctrine. Secondly, the imposed sanctions are examined. In general, the illicit contractual object makes the contract null and void, so that the goods or services already carried out will be restored. This is the principle, but important exceptions are made when the plaintiff is 'unworthy'.
