MORTGAGES & LIENS
“A mortgage is a conveyance of land or an assignment of chattels as security for the payment
of a debt or for the discharge of some other obligation . . . .” (Santley v. White, [1899] 2 Ch. 474
(C.A.)) A lien is similar to a mortgage but “can only attach to property which is or has been the
subject of a transaction between parties. . . .” (R.S. Vasan, ed., The Canadian Law Dictionary,
New York: Law and Business Publications, 1980)) Liens are most frequently used by build-
ers, warehouses, and mechanics. These are topics that are provincial in jurisdiction. Related
topics: PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, PROPERTY, REAL PROPERTY.
PRIORITÉS ET HYPOTHÈQUES
Branche importante du droit civil couvrant l’ancien domaine des sûretés (privilèges, hypothè-
ques, nantissements, etc.). La réforme du Code civil est majeure dans ce domaine (hypothèques
mobilières, ouvertes, etc.) de sorte que de nombreuses anciennes règles n’ont plus cours. Les
dispositions transitoires, ici plus qu’ailleurs, doivent être consultées. Le contrat de cautionne-
ment est rapatrié avec les contrats nommés. Voir aussi : PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY.
