Sans foi ni loi: Appearances of Conjugality and Lawless Love

Friday, January 24, 2014 12:30to14:00
Chancellor Day Hall NCDH 202, 3644 rue Peel, Montreal, QC, H3A 1W9, CA

The Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law continues its new series of Civil Law Workshops, under the theme « Les apparences en droit civil », with a talk by Régine Tremblay (University of Toronto). 

This presentation will be in French.

Abstract

(In French only) L’auteure propose un survol historique du traitement des conjoints de fait en droit civil québécois. Elle défend qu’hier comme aujourd’hui, la non-reconnaissance de ce type d’unions dans le Code civil du Québec repose davantage sur une désapprobation ancrée dans d’autres ordres normatifs : la religion et l’économie. Cependant, ce type d’unions produit de nombreux effets juridiques en droit privé comme en droit public. Cette situation crée une apparence de conjugalité et ne peut que confondre le justiciable.

About the Civil Law Workshops

In order to promote fundamental research in private law, the Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law initiated the “Civil Law Workshop” series, bringing together jurists from Québec and beyond to work on related research topics. With their cross-disciplinary focus, the “Civil Law Workshops” contribute to enriching and stimulating fundamental research in private law.

The 2012-2014 series of civil law workshops presented by the Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law explore « Les apparences en droit civil ».

The workshops are presented with financial assistance from Justice Canada’s Support Fund for Access to Justice in Both Official Languages.

Registration is not required. This activity has been accredited for 1.5 hours of continuing legal education by the Barreau du Québec (activity no 10080651).
