Article 6
Titre I:
De la Publication, des Effets et de l'Application des Lois en général
(On the Publication, Effects, and Application of Laws in General)
Aucunes conventions particulières ne peuvent reposer sur des bases qui contrarient ou qui blessent les lois concernant l'ordre public et les bonnes mœurs.
Life lesson:
Your private deals do not exist above the public good. No contract, however cleverly written, can override the moral order of the community.
Notes:
Nullity of contracts contra bonos mores. Mirrors French Code Civil Art. 6 exactly. Establishes the supremacy of public law over private agreements.
