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).

LEASING n.
(Obl.) Contract by which a person, the lessor, undertakes, in return for payment, to provide financing for another, the lessee, by acquiring, at the request of the lessee, ownership of a movable and by placing the movable at the disposal of the lessee for a fixed term.  Occ. Arts. 1842, 2961.1 C.C.Q.; art. 1603 C.C.L.C.Obs. 1º The lessor retains the ownership of the movable that he or she places at the disposal of the lessee. The right of ownership secures the right of the lessor to be paid. However, this right of ownership may only be set up against third parties, and in particular against the lessee’s creditors, if it has been published (art. 1847 C.C.Q.). 2º Leasing can be entered into only for the purposes of carrying on an enterprise (the French text of art. 1842 para. 3 C.C.Q.: "à des fins d’entreprise"). However, the English text of article 1842, which states "for business purposes only", might be read so as to restrict the notion of enterprise to undertakings that are commercial in character (compare with art. 1525 para. 3 C.C.Q.). 3º A tripartite relationship between the seller, the lessor and the lessee arises from the leasing contract. This is made plain in particular by the fact that the seller is bound directly toward the lessee for the conventional and legal warranties inherent in the sale (art. 1845 C.C.Q.). 4º Leasing is useful in different contexts, including the acquisition, for a fixed period, of materials that can rapidly become obsolete. The acquisition of such property by way of outright ownership may mean a high cost, whereas a leasing arrangement may allow for a business to change equipment more often at lower cost. 5º In practice, the expression financial lease or finance lease is sometimes used to describe a leasing contract. 6º The codal regime respecting leasing, which is a nominate contract distinct from that of lease, is set forth at articles 1842 to 1850 C.C.Q. Syn. contract of leasing, finance lease, financial lease, financial leasing, leasing contract. See also  enterprise1. Fr. contrat de crédit-bail, crédit-bail+.
