  • Description: Resorting to bank loans is necessary for the creation and smooth running of businesses, especially for the small or medium-sized enterprises. The dependency of companies upon banks is strengthened when companies are forced into bankruptcy. In France, judge-made criteria for responsible lending developed over time. According to it, banks were declared liable in the following cases: a) when rejecting a credit application, b) when abusively breaking-up a credit relationship, c) when abusively sustaining a credit relationship, d) when granting a ruinous credit, and d) when abusively sustaining a credit relationship.
