COMMERCIAL LAW
This is a vast area that might also be termed “Business Law.” It deals with matters of con-
ducting commercial enterprises in Canada. Titles listed under this heading will be more gen-
eral and omnibus in scope. More specific aspects of commercial law are covered in other
headings: BANKING LAW, BANKRUPTCY & INSOLVENCY, COMPETITION LAW, CON-
SUMER PROTECTION LAW, CORPORATE LAW, FRANCHISING, INTERNATIONAL SALE
OF GOODS, PARTNERSHIPS, PRODUCTS LIABILITY, SALE OF GOODS, SECURITIES,
TAXATION.
AFFAIRES (DROIT DES)
Vaste domaine couvrant plus de la moitié des branches du droit. On utilise cette expression
pour désigner l’ensemble des dimensions juridiques applicables à la conduite des affaires
(« doing business »). L’expression « droit commercial » tend à disparaître avec le nouveau Code
civiledu Québec. Plusieurs aspects du droit des affaires font l’objet d’une rubrique distincte :
BANCAIRE (DROIT) ; COMMERCIAL INTERNATIONAL (DROIT) ; COMPAGNIES ; CONCUR-
RENCE (DROIT DE LA) ; FAILLITE ET INSOLVABILITÉ ; FRANCHISE ; LETTRES DE CHANGE ;
VALEURS MOBILIÈRES. Il s’ensuit que tout ouvrage qui porte sur l’ensemble du droit des
affaires ne peut être considéré que comme une introduction.
