10.

BANKING LAW

Regulated by the federal Bank Act, this is an area of almost exclusive federal jurisdiction.

However, credit unions and caisses-populaires are creatures of provincial statute, leading to

some confusion and blurring of jurisdictions. It is a complex area of the law touching on

issues such as responsibilities and obligations of bank off‌icers and directors, rules related to

record-keeping, loans and their securities, etc. Related topics: BILLS OF EXCHANGE, COM-

MERCIAL LAW, DEBTOR & CREDITOR.

BANCAIRE (DROIT)

Le droit des banques appartient d’emblée au droit des AFFAIRES. Il couvre la réglementation

des activités des banques entre elles et de leurs relations avec la banque centrale. Domaine de

compétence fédérale, on y traite parfois des institutions f‌inancières analogues de compétence

provinciale (caisses d’épargne, caisses populaire et de crédit). Les banques et la monnaie ainsi

que le chèque et les LETTRES DE CHANGE relèvent du droit fédéral.
