Canada has multiple legal traditions, including the civil law and the common law. In this book, Elements of Quebec Civil Law: A Comparison with the Common Law of Canada, accomplished academics review the key fields of Quebec civil law—property, trusts, contracts, extracontractual civil liability, and private international law—in English. Each chapter sets out the legal rules specific to the field in question, and the authors analyze, compare, and critique their similarities and differences with Canadian common law. The book also includes a chapter on comparative law and Canadian bijuralism, as well as one outlining the history of Quebec civil law. Accordingly, the book can serve as a resource for both legal professionals and Canadians who wish to learn more about Quebec’s legal system.Yan Campagnolo, Louise Bélanger-Hardy, and Aline Grenon are professors in the Faculty of Law of the University of Ottawa, a bilingual and bijural institution. The ten contributors to this work teach at various Canadian post-secondary institutions: Laval University, McGill University, Osgoode Hall Law School, the University of Montreal, the University of Ottawa, and the University of Toronto.A companion book entitled Éléments de common law canadienne : comparaison avec le droit civil québécois, which is part of the same overall work, discusses the key fields of Canadian common law in French in comparison with Quebec civil law.
