Le serment déféré par l'une des parties à l'autre, au bureau de conciliation est un exemple de serment extrajudiciaire. Le juge de paix n'a pas mission de forcer au serment, de rien statuer; il ne peut que s'efforcer de concilier. S'il y a refus de prêter serment le juge de paix doit seulement en faire mention.
