Paulian action per Termium

action to annul agreements is another way to say Paulian action

That proposition however cannot to my mind be derived from that decision, which concerned the status under the Brussels Convention of the action paulienne in French law, whereby a creditor may have a disposition of a right in rem in immovable property rendered ineffective as against him on the ground that it was made to the detriment of his rights by his debtor. That action may be instituted both against dispositions made for consideration by the debtor when the beneficiary acts in bad faith and against transactions entered into without consideration by the debtor even if the beneficiary acts in good faith. A reading of the judgment suggests that that latter point was decisive: an action which may be directed against a third party who has not committed any wrongful act cannot be regarded as an action 'which seeks to establish the liability of a defendant'. (31) That reasoning clearly cannot be transposed to the present case, where Mr Henkel is alleged to have contravened statutory prohibitions on certain types of contractual clauses.
