| Title |
Changement dans le droit privé au Québec et au Bas-Canada, entre 1760 et 1840 : attitudes et réactions des contemporains
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the administration of civil justice, the judiciary and the magistracy, and such facets of substantive civil law as bankruptcy, inheritance, land tenure regimes and the registration of hypothecs. She finds that the opinions of contemporaries reflected primarily their ethnic background, though sometimes they were modified by class or economic interests. The author concludes that the explanation offered for this ethnic conflict over private law is that Anglophone and Francophone groups alike saw the law as a powerful instrument of their socio-ethnic goals, including economic pursuits, political and institutional power, and ethnic survival.
