Afin de faire état de la terminologie du droit privé québécois, le Centre Paul-André Crépeau de droit privé et comparé a lancé en 1981 le projet des Dictionnaires de droit privé et lexiques bilingues.

En exprimant le droit privé dans les langues anglaise et française, les Dictionnaires de droit privé / Private Law Dictionaries sont des outils de connaissance originaux qui tiennent compte du fait que le droit privé québécois évolue dans un cadre linguistique et juridique unique au monde. Ils constituent les seuls ouvrages de terminologie juridique pouvant prétendre refléter la spécificité bilingue et bijuridique de la culture juridique québécoise, en plus d’être un outil essentiel pour l’ensemble des juristes québécois, pour les traducteurs juridiques, pour les juristes de l’ensemble du Canada intéressés par le droit civil québécois et, enfin, pour les juristes œuvrant en droit comparé.

Cette page vous donne accès, dans leurs versions française et anglaise, aux dictionnaires suivants : le Dictionnaire de droit privé, 2ème (1991), Le Dictionnaire de droit privé — Les obligations (2003), Le dictionnaire de droit privé — Les biens (2012), Le Dictionnaire de droit privé — Les familles, 2èmeéd (2016). Un projet de Dictionnaire de droit privé — Successions est actuellement en cours, et sera progressivement ajouté à la base de données.

Afin de faciliter vos recherches, nous vous invitons à consulter la page de présentation des Dictionnaires, qui expose les principes ayant guidé la présentation des entrées et présente les différents éléments qui forment la structure des articles. La rubrique d’aide pourra également vous être utile afin de découvrir les diverses fonctionnalités du moteur de recherche.

Le Centre Paul-André Crépeau de droit privé et comparé tient à remercier le Ministère de la Justice du Canada et la Chambre des Notaires pour leur appui financier pour la conduite des projets lexicographiques ainsi que l’Association du Barreau Canadien qui contribua à la mise en ligne Dictionnaire de droit privé — Les familles, 2èmeéd (2016).

In 1981, the Paul-André Crépeau Centre of Private and Comparative Law launched its Private Law Dictionaries and Bilingual Lexicons in order to present the terminology of the Quebec private law.

By expressing the private law in the French and English languages, the Private Law Dictionaries/Dictionnaires de droit privé are original tools which take account of the unique linguistic and juridical landscape in which the Quebec private law evolves. These are the only publications of legal terminology which can claim to reflect the bilingual and bijuridical specificity of Quebec’s legal culture. They serve as an essential tool for jurists and translators in Québec, for those across Canada interested in the Québec civil law, as well as for those working in the field of comparative law.

This website gives access, in their French and English versions, to the following dictionaries : the Private Law Dictionary, 2nd ed. (1991), the Private Law Dicitonary–Obligations (2003), the Dictionary of Private Law–Property (2012), the Private Law Dictionary–Family, 2nd ed. (2016). The Private Law Dictionary-Successions is in progress, and will gradually be added to the database.

To facilitate your research, please consult the "Guide to the Use of the Dictionaries", which presents the guiding principles behind the entries and the different components of their structure. The Help Section may also be useful in understanding the search engine’s various functions.

The Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law would like to thank the Department of Justice of Canada and the Chambre des Notaires for their financial support of the dictionary projects, as well as The Canadian Bar Association, which will contribute to the online version of the Private Law Dictionary of the Family, 2nd ed. (2016).

ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS
(Obl. and Prop.) Regime for the exercise of powers by a person, the administrator, over property1 that is not his or her own. .  Occ. Title seven of Book four of the C.C.Q.Obs. 1º The administration of the property of others may bear on property, a mass of property, a fraction of universality, an universality or the whole patrimony. 2º The title respecting the administration of the property of others applies, inter alia, to tutors (arts. 208, 286 C.C.Q.), curators (art. 282 C.C.Q.), liquidators of successions (art. 802 C.C.Q.), managers of divided or undivided property (arts. 1029, 1085 C.C.Q.), trustees (art. 1278 C.C.Q.), sequestrators (art. 2308 C.C.Q.) and creditors who have obtained the surrender of property (art. 2768 C.C.Q.). 3º Some scholars argue that the title respecting the administration of the property of others provides for a general suppletive regime applicable to all persons charged with the administration of property or patrimony that is not his or her own, including, for example, the administrator of a legal person, the mandatary and the manager of the business of another. 4º Acts of administration of the property of another are traditionally divided into three categories: conservatory acts, acts of administration and acts of disposition. According to the traditional summa divisio, the act of mere or simple administration is a kind of act of administration that entails no risk for the patrimony being administered (e.g. to collect revenues). 5º In the codal regime respecting the administration of the property of others (arts. 1299 et seq. C.C.Q.), the Civil Code of Québec no longer distinguishes between three different kinds of act of administration. Instead, it distinguishes between acts of simple administration, which aim at the protection and the preservation of property, and acts of full administration, which aim to increase property, or to appropriate a patrimony to a determined purpose in addition to its protection and preservation. Whether the two part division of the Civil Code replaces or clarifies the traditional three part division remains an open question. Syn. administration of the property of another. See also  act of administration, administrator of the property of others, full administration, power2, simple administration. Fr. administration du bien d'autrui.
