The Civil Code of Québec

MITCanadaContracts

The Civil Code of Québec (CCQ, in force 1 January 1994, replacing the 1866 Civil Code of Lower Canada) — Quebec's civil-law jus commune and the foundation of its private law. A navigation-and-orientation reference verified against the official consolidated text on LégisQuébec (retrieved 2026-07). Covers: what the Code is and the Preliminary Provision that makes it the general law of Québec, operating in harmony with the Charter of human rights and freedoms and serving as the foundation of all other laws; why Quebec is a CIVIL-LAW jurisdiction and how that differs from the common law of the other provinces (codified general principles reasoned deductively rather than binding precedent/stare decisis, no equity/trusts-by-tradition, different vocabulary); the map of all ten Books with article ranges — One Persons (1-364), Two The Family (365-612, incl. family patrimony), Three Successions (613-898), Four Property (898.1-1370, opening with 'animals are not things'), Five Obligations (1371-2643, the largest — contract formation, civil liability, and the nominate contracts incl. sale, lease at 1851-1978, employment, mandate, insurance), Six Prior Claims and Hypothecs (2644-2802), Seven Evidence (2803-2874.1), Eight Prescription (2875-2933, incl. the 3-year personal action and 10-year judgment rules), Nine Publication of Rights (2934-3075.1, the land register and RDPRM), Ten Private International Law (3076-3168); the Book/Title/Chapter/Section/Division hierarchy and why division scope matters; how to read an article's legislative history (1991, c. 64 enactment, amendments, and decimal numbers signalling later insertions); the equally-authoritative French and English versions; public order vs suppletive rules; and common cross-Book chains for real problems. Use to find where a Quebec legal topic lives in the Code, decode an article citation, understand the civil-law approach, or orient before researching on LégisQuébec/CanLII.
