Publisher Description

Le debat historique et juridique sur le droit applicable au moment de la Conquete a fait couler beaucoup d'encre depuis les travaux des annees 1970. L'ebjectif de cette publication est d'apprehender la part prise par les notaires et la pratique arbitrale dans la conirontation supposee entre le systeme juridique de common law et la tradition juridique civiliste en matiere de droit prive. Alors que certains historiens evoquent une resistance passive durant les annees 1760-1774 de la part des populatiens face au droit anglais qui leur serait impose, il semble, au regard des resultats de cette recherche, qu'il existe plutot une collaboration active entre les praticiens du droit de tradition juridique francaise d'une part, et les juridictions et administrateurs britanniques d'autre part. Si les tenants de la resistance passive sent d'avis que les notaires permirent en partie la survivance du droit francais, il semble que cette preservation des normes francaises, constatee de maniere marquante ici, exprime une relation confluente entre systeme juridictionnel et pratique conventionnelle du droit, entre tradition judiciaire britannique et normes de droit prive francaises. La pratique arbitrale, outil de cette conciliation, s'est imposee naturellement aux protagonistes de cette periode, essentiellement en raison de la proximite des mecanismes et des medes d'execution de cette pratique en common law et en droit francais. Pont entre les deux systemes, elle permet de trancher en amont et en aval de l'Acte de Quebec le noeud gordien de la confrontation des traditions juridiques. Questions surrounding Quebec law at the time of the British Conquest resulted in lively historical and legal debates since the 1970s. The purpose of this study is to assess the role of notaries and arbitration in the supposed "clash" between a common law justice system and a civilian private law tradition. While some historians have put forward a "passive resistance" thesis en the part of populations affected by the imposition of British law between 1760 and 1774, the results of this study show that there is, in fact, evidence of "active collaboration" between French legal practitioners on the one hand and British officials on the other hand. If the proponents of the "passive resistance" theory posit that the notaries contributed in part to the "survival" of French law, it seems that the preservation of French legal norms, clearly visible here, is the expression of a convergent relationship between jurisdictional system and customary practice of law, between British judicial tradition and French private law norms. The protagonists of this period were naturally drawn to arbitral practice, a tool for this conciliation, essentially because of the similarities between the mechanisms and methods of execution in the common law and French law. As a bridge between these two systems, one could say that both before and after the Quebec Act, arbitration was the stroke that cut through the Gordian knot of clashing legal traditions.
