La Cour d'appel de Paris, dans un arrêt du 7 mai 2025, a confirmé l'ordonnance de référé du tribunal de commerce de Paris du 4 juillet 2024 condamnant la société Heretic, éditrice du site de notation en ligne scamdoc.com, pour dénigrement.

Le site avait attribué un score de confiance extrêmement bas de 2% à une entreprise, la société Baronnies granulés & co, sans fournir une justification suffisamment étayée de cette évaluation négative.

Cette décision s'inscrit dans un contexte d'encadrement juridique croissant des plateformes de notation en ligne, dont l'influence sur la réputation des entreprises et des professionnels ne cesse de s'amplifier à l'ère numérique. Elle soulève des questions fondamentales sur la balance entre la liberté d'expression et la protection de la réputation commerciale.

A Major Easing Of The Obligation To Inform Employees Of Their Rights To Bid On Business Transfers

The French Act on the Simplification of Economic Life, dated 26 May 2026, has fundamentally transformed the Hamon Law's employee information requirements in business transfers. Companies with 50-250 employees that have a Works Council are now exempt from individually notifying employees of their right to bid, while smaller companies benefit from reduced notification periods and lower penalties. These changes mark a significant shift in French M&A transaction procedures that have been in place since 2014.
