CONTRACTS
This ancient area of the law deals primarily with the formation and enforcement of legal agree-
ments between parties. It forms the basis of virtually every type of commercial dealing and
is one of few areas of law largely grounded in jurisprudence (caselaw) as opposed to statute,
although there are a number of statutes, mostly provincial, which have an impact upon par-
ties’ contractual relations. Related topics: COMMERCIAL LAW, INSURANCE LAW, MORT-
GAGES & LIENS, SALE OF GOODS.
CONTRATS
Domaine du droit privé où il resterait confiné si ce n’était des nombreuses réglementations re-
latives aux conditions des CONTRATS ou du TRAVAIL. Le domaine est complexe également en
raison des contrats adjugés par l’administration (voir : ADMINISTRATIF (DROIT) ainsi que des
systèmes semi-publics d’appel d’offres mis de l’avant par des consortiums d’entrepreneurs).
