Developed in French and English, the terminology of Obligations reflects the heritage of an ancient civil law tradition as it evolves in North America as well as the renewal of private law associated with the advent of the Civil Code of Quebec. The lexicon for the law of Obligations in Quebec is unquestionably unique in the world. The vocabulary of the law of Obligations forms part of a lawyer's basic culture, not only as that vocabulary bears on contract and civil liability, but more generally as the foundation of all private law terminology. Obligatio est iuris vinculum "The obligation is a legal bond": this grand civilian idea of the Emperor Justinian announces the spirit in which the Private Law Dictionary of Obligations casts the fundamental vocabulary of this branch of Quebec law.Īvailable in English and French, the Private Law Dictionary of Obligations and the Dictionnaire de droit privé des obligations have been prepared by a world-renowned team of civil law scholars at the Quebec Research Centre of Private and Comparative Law at McGill University in order to show how this legal bond is at the center of the Quebec private law's terminology.
