Abstract

With the adoption of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, civil law and human rights influence each other and must be contemplated as a whole. The Preliminary Provision of the Civil Code of Quebec establishes a close relationship between the Charter and the Civil Code, by indicating that the latter must be interpreted « in harmony » with the former. In our presentation, we describe the ways in which the Quebec Charter and the Civil Code work together to ensure a maximum protection of human rights. We measure the influence of human rights on contract law, civil liability rules, property law and family lawὑ.
