The Co-existence of Legal Systems in Quebec: " Free and Common Socage" in Canada's "pays de droit civil"
|
| Abstract |
English land tenure, known as "free and common socage" was introduced into Quebec in 1774, but was only to apply to those land in the Eastern Townships outside of the the seigneurial lands. Seigneurial land tenure, established under the French regime and allowed to continue until the mid-nineteenth century, was governed by civil law. The author examines the implantation of the English tenure system as a measure of imperial policy from 1774 to 1825, and Quebec colonial response from 1829 to 1857.
