REPUBLIQUE DE MADAGASCAR<\/p>\n

COUR DE CASSATION<\/p>\n

CHAMBRE CIVILE COMMERCIALE SOCIALE<\/p>\n

La Cour de Cassation, Chambre Civile Commerciale Sociale en son audience publique ordinaire du mardi treize mars deux mille dix-huit, tenue au Palais de Justice \u00e0 Anosy, a rendu l'arr\u00eat dont la teneur suit :<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s en avoir d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9 conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 la loi :<\/p>\n

Statuant sur le pourvoi de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 XXX, demeurant en son si\u00e8ge social [adresse] , ayant pour conseil Me Razafinimanana Marianne, Avocat \u00e0 la Cour, contre un arr\u00eat n\u00b0134 du 23 novembre 2000 de la Chambre Civile de la Cour d\u2019Appel d\u2019Antananarivo, dans le litige l\u2019ayant oppos\u00e9 \u00e0 G.M.H.<\/p>\n

Vu les m\u00e9moires en demande et en d\u00e9fense,<\/p>\n

Sur les trois moyens de cassation r\u00e9unis tir\u00e9 de l\u2019article 26 de la loi 2004-036 du 01 Octobre 2004 sur la Cour Supr\u00eame, pour d\u00e9naturation des faits, exc\u00e8s de pouvoir, manque de base l\u00e9gale, en ce que la Cour d\u2019Appel a estim\u00e9 les parties \u00e9taient li\u00e9es par le contrat originaire entre la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 XXX. Alors que la demande est motiv\u00e9e par la dette contract\u00e9e personnellement par G.M.H. dans sa lettre d\u2019engagement du 15 septembre 1994; que cette lettre constitue une novation :<\/p>\n

Vu les textes de loi vis\u00e9s aux moyens ;<\/p>\n

Attendu que cette lettre en date du 15 septembre 1994 ne peut s\u2019analyser que comme une caution personnelle de G.M.H. par rapport au contrat entre la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 YYY et la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 XXX : que c\u2019est \u00e0 juste titre que la Cour d\u2019Appel a refus\u00e9 la qualification de novation de la lettre cit\u00e9e dans le moyen ; que la caution ne constitue qu\u2019une garantie \u00e0 l\u2019ex\u00e9cution des obligations contract\u00e9es initialement :<\/p>\n

Que le moyen n'est pas fond\u00e9 ;<\/p>\n

REJETTE le pourvoi :<\/p>\n

Condamne le demandeur \u00e0 l'amende et aux d\u00e9pens.<\/p>\n

Ainsi jug\u00e9 et prononc\u00e9 par Cour, Chambre les jour, mois et an que dessus.<\/p>\n

Messieurs et Mesdames<\/p>\n

La minute du pr\u00e9sent arr\u00eat a \u00e9t\u00e9 sign\u00e9e par le Pr\u00e9sident, le Rapporteur et le Greffier.\/.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
