34.

DEBTOR & CREDITOR

The law as it relates to persons who owe money (debtors) and those to whom they owe it (credit-

ors). It is different from bankruptcy and insolvency (although they often frequently overlap)

in that debtors are not necessarily insolvent. This area is governed by federal and provincial

legislation. Related topics: BANKRUPTCY & INSOLVENCY, CONTRACTS, MORTGAGES &

LIENS, PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, SALE OF GOODS.

OBLIGATIONS

Cette branche principale du droit civil englobe les CONTRATS, les contrats nommés, une partie

du droit applicable au CONSOMMATEUR et la RESPONSABILITÉ CIVILE. Certains de ses as-

pects font l’objet d’un chapitre distinct : extinction des obligations, restitution des prestations,

transmission de l’obligation (subrogation, novation, délégation).
