Quebec Civil Code

The Quebec Civil Code is a fundamental legal document that outlines the laws governing private relationships in the province of Quebec, Canada. It covers various areas of law, including contracts, property, family, and obligations. Established in 1994, the Code aims to provide clear rules and principles to resolve disputes and guide individuals' rights and responsibilities. Unlike common law systems, which rely heavily on judicial decisions, the Civil Code is based on written statutes, making it a comprehensive guide for legal matters in Quebec.
