What's different about a Letter of Intent in France
The same good faith and mandatory disclosure duties under articles 1112 and 1112-1 apply through an LOI's negotiation period, and because French law has no consideration doctrine, the document's enforceability turns on its own binding language rather than any exchange of value.
