Law Toubon

To fight against the Franglais, it proposed a complete listing of words to use in the place of the words English. This attempt was not always crowned success. Its proposal was even the object of mockeries in its time and the Loi Toubon (n° 94-88) for the promotion of the Francophonie was ironically called “law AllGood” (example of failure to the Usage: vacancelle forever been able to compete with weekend).

Business of the helicopter

In 1996, whereas the prosecutor Laurent Davenas is on vacation in the Himalayas, its assistant benefits from it to launch legal information aiming Xavière Tibéri and his report/ratio on the francophonie. Jacques Toubon and Marc Moinard charter a helicopter to try to repatriate the magistrate, thus putting a serious doubt about the independence of the legal authority which they are supposed to represent.
