Summary/Abstract: The French reform of contract law, and in particular the publication of the Ordinance of 10 February 2016 on the reform of contract law, offers an opportunity to make some remarks on the subject of the Roman definitions of dolus malus. In fact, the new Article 1137 of the French Civil Code introduces for the first time the definition of fraud. This is a novelty in the legislation, as the drafters of the Civil Code of 1804 (Napoleon's Code) did not propose any definition of fraud, although Pottier in his "The Doctrine of Bonds" adopted the famous definition of dolus malus by the Roman jurist Labeon. It was formed in the legal doctrine and case law of the XIX century, and for this purpose the Roman legal sources are analyzed.
