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.Â
