Charles Faider

Charles Jean Baptiste Florian Faider (born September 6, 1811 in Trieste , † April 6, 1893 in Brussels ) was a Belgian lawyer and politician. In his capacity as a lawyer, his diverse publications ensured the development of an independent Belgian legal tradition.

Life

After studying at the Université de Liège and the Reich University of Leuven , Faider initially practiced as a lawyer until he entered the Belgian civil service. In 1836 he married Augustine Joséphine Mersch, who died in 1858 at the age of 49. The couple had two children, Marie Charlotte Augustine and Amédée Marie Hippolyte Faider, who, like his father, embarked on a legal career and made it up to the 1st President of the Court of Appeal in Brussels .

In 1837 Charles Faider was deputy prosecutor in Leuven and in 1842 as chief prosecutor in Antwerp .

Faider was advocate general at the Brussels Court of Appeal , in 1844 and since 1851 at the Court of Cassation, entered the Brouckère cabinet as Minister of Justice on October 31, 1852 , after whose resignation on May 7, 1853 he was restored to his previous position.

He left behind a large number of written papers on all kinds of legal fields. The focus was on his work on Belgian law, especially thanks to his work on the Belgian Court of Cassation . By requiring that judgments reflect both positive law and social changes in Belgian society, he helped the Belgian nation develop its own legal tradition against France .
